 |
|
Here's the scenario:
I had cups-1.1.5 running on Gentoo on one machine, with an Epson 680 on the parallel port, which worked just fine.
I've since installed Gentoo on another machine which I intend to run the printer off, and being a more recent install, this one has cups-1.1.5r2, and this one doesn't work. When I try to print a test page, I get this message in the cups error_log:
Unable to convert file 0 to printable format for job 1!
Checking the CUPS FAQ for this mentioned having EPS Ghostscript installed, but I definitely have that. Other than being a slightly newer update of Gentoo, there isn't any real difference between the two machines. I'm pretty confident the parallel driver is working (and the message suggests a file conversion problem, not a low-level parallel port problem anyway).
Anyone got any ideas?

It gets worse... trying to rebuild ghostscript (7.05.3-r1) fails now:
| Code: |

Makes me wonder how it built in the first place. Not a happy healthy system 
What's even stranger is if I try to build manually (i.e. extract the bz2 file and ./configure, make myself), it builds fine. But when built by emerge, I get the above error.
I've done an emerge --debug to get the exact configure line too - and the make output when run by emerge and when run by hand is totally different. So now I'm confused.

I believe there is a bug in the current Ghostscript ebuild - if you edit the ebuild file & change 'emake' to 'make' it should emerge fine.
I too had a whole bunch of problems with the latest Cups and ended up dropping back to 1.14 which works fine. |

I too am having all sorts of problems with CUPS 1.1.5-r2 (HP Officejet 710 prints 1st job then says parallel port is busy on next one and the Epson C80 USB gives the "Can't convert" message).
How do I emerge 1.1.4-r4? When I try emerge -p cups-1.1.4-r4.ebuild I get a dependency error message.
Or do I drop back using the original sources and ignore emerge?
TIA
