|
|
Hi,
I just stumbled across a strange behavior:
I can't get the Kyoera 1750 working with a 64bit Gentoo.
The same machine worked now with different 32 bit distributions debian, ubuntu without roblems.
Kernel is compiled with:
Code: |
# Parallel port support
#
CONFIG_PARPORT=y
CONFIG_PARPORT_PC=y
# CONFIG_PARPORT_SERIAL is not set
CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_FIFO=y
CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO=y
# CONFIG_PARPORT_GSC is not set
# CONFIG_PARPORT_AX88796 is not set
CONFIG_PARPORT_1284=y
CONFIG_PARPORT_NOT_PC=y
|
cups version and use flags are (without ppds it doesn't work neither)
Code: |
emerge -pv cups
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild R ] net-print/cups-1.2.12-r2 USE="X dbus jpeg nls pam png ppds ssl tiff -ldap -php -samba -slp" 0 kB
|
Parallelport is configure at the Bios to EPP (I tried also ECP and normal without success)
PPDs which I used to configure cups I got from
http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Kyocera-FS-1750
http://www.kyoceramita.de/index/produkte/download_center.false._.FS1750.PRINT.DE.html
And i used the ppd coming with 32-bit ubuntu FS-1750.ppd
The device can be found with
Code: |
ls -l /dev/lp0
crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 0 11. Nov 11:45 /dev/lp0
|
ubuntu 32bit is working on this hardware with
# Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.3.2
# Written by cupsd on 2007-11-10 21:43

Depending on the used ppd I get as a test page the beginning of a ps-source "%!PS-Adobe ..."
or I get just a frame without content.
It can't be a hardware problem, because it works with ubuntu (7.10).
Actually I suppose it works with every 32-bit version of cups.
Any hints ?

Well, after fumbling around for a while I found the following solution, but which let me understand the problems/behavior which I described before.
My solution is now:
I installed
Code: | net-print/foomatic-db-ppds-20060720 |
This doesn't come with a ppd-file for the FS-1750 but with one for FS-1800.
So I chose that one and it worked.
I still wonder why the recommend or the manufactur provided files doesn't work. |
