Have you upgraded any packages? What print driver do you use? do you use any drivers from gimp-print?

I recently had an issue of a printer suddenly not working and I couldn't figure it out until I noticed that gimp-print had downgraded to an older unwanted version while installing gimp.

We need more info

My printer has suddenly stopped working and I've no idea why.

Same problem here... yesterday it worked fine, today it doesn't. Did a normal emerge -puvDN world last night... I notice some KDE packages were upgraded so don't know if that's related...

Printing is a business-critical function...

cheers, Ian

[JeliJami]

Did you run dispatch-conf or etc-update?

[iandoug]

etc-update as per normal.

Have not used dispatch-conf before (okay, so I'm still a newbie.. )

cheers, Ian

[pinr]

On the 19th of April I upgraded the following:
sys-apps/baselayout-1.11.14-r7 > sys-apps/baselayout-1.11.14-r8
net-print/foomatic-db-20050606 > foomatic-db-20050910
kde-base/kdelibs-3.5.2-r2 > kde-base/kdelibs-3.5.2-r3
sys-apps/slocate-2.7-r7 > sys-apps/slocate-3.1
kde-base/kwin-3.5.2-r1 > kde-base/kwin-3.5.2-r2
kde-base/konsole-3.5.2 > kde-base/konsole-3.5.2-r1
media-video/transcode-0.6.14-r3 > media-video/transcode-1.0.2-r2
vmware-workstation-5.5.1.19175 > vmware-workstation-5.5.1.19175-r3
I guess the problem is either with baselayout or foomatic-db, but what? I can't make any sense of the cups error log.
I'm also running an AMD64 system.

[pinr]

Ok in the cups error.log I noticed this:
D [21/Apr/2006:00:36:32 -0500] [Job 4] /usr/lib64/cups/filter/foomatic-rip: No such file or directory
So guessing the problem lies with foomatic-db I masked 20050910 and tried returning to 20050606
However, trying to emerge foomatic-db-20050606 gives me this error and now cups won't start at all!

Ok fixed it after a lot of messing around downgrading foomatic-db and remerging cupd didn't work. Then I found this post:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-38 ... icrip.html
So the solution is to re-emerge net-print/foomatic-filters

Thanks... emerge -C foomatic-filters then emerge -uvDN foomatic-filters fixed it for me too..

You've been promoted to Hero status

Cheers, Ian

[jouzts]

I re-emerged foomatic-filters without unmerging anything, and I can now print again.

[omschaub]

This just hit me and I found your post. This solved it for me. This should NOT have happened, but I am VERY greatful for the fix!

I agree with the 'Hero Status' -- thanks!

Same here.
This ebuild should not be in stable branch with such a big bug IMHO !

[pezplaya]

Just another verification that it worked. Thanks guys.

[RemcoNL]

This:

Code: Select all

emerge foomatic-filters

helpt me out too! So I agree on the hero-status

Note to myself: Check the forums before trying all kinds of stuff.........

[Seyton]

Looks like the update to net-print/foomatic-db caused this problem. The last world update I did had this in it and my printer worked fine just before I updated. Thanks for the quick fix on this! I probably would have missed net-print/foomatic-filters if I had tried to re-emerge every package related to cups and printing. I guess a revdep-rebuild would have fixed this also...

[joehni]

I guess a revdep-rebuild would have fixed this also...

No. It will not find foomatic-filters ...

[Seyton]

Well that is crap. Guess the ebuild for foomatic-db needs to be edited so it rebuilds foomatic-filters.

[[Lx]-=Mystify=-]

yeah, one fixed system more...

thanks for the hint

[AchilleTalon]

Well, revdep-rebuild didn't fixed the problem. This one was very frustrating. I googled and tried many things. I finally found this discussion thread. I was about to re-emerge all printing stuff without being convinced it was the thing to do.

I am lucky enough to have plenty of hairs, so I can lost few on this one.

[werwurm]

one more happy customer here
Thanks for this fix. Greetings,
Denis.

[chidychi]

Another Thanks man!
This should be a sticky!

[elvis_a_presley]

Another Thanks man!

Agreed. (or at least a noted bug?)

Another entire site fixed over here. Cheers.

[Bionicle]

Thanks a lot, I have resolved the problem

[iiiisini]

mail to your printe's factory. download new dirve form internet,check dirve!!

[KayZee]

Another me too....these forums saved me again. Hope this footmatic-filters problem does get fixed because its not obvious why printing stops.
