Drakain Zeil Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 I'm having problems with my CUPS service, all I can get out of it is a test page... I attempted to print 6 pages of a .pdf document (though the viewer that KDE gives you), and the window crashes (I get the crashed window popup). I had the print manager running in the background, telling me that no new tasks had been added to the list. So, any suggestions as to what I can do to fix this?

spiedra Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 Can you print from another program like Open Office? Maybe the problem is only with the kde viewer, not CUPS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakain Zeil Posted August 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 From Open Office, it doesn't close, but it's taking an insanely long time to process the task, I sent it to the task list five minutes ago, and have a feeling it's stalled.... the same thing happend with the CUPS test page, however it only printed when I went over the the RPM management to attempt to remove cups... oddly it began printing... perhaps I need to whip my linux into submission? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiedra Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 (edited) Perhaps try a different driver. You may get better performance. Uninstall/reinstalling won't work. That's the windows way of doing things. This is Linux, no need to do that. Try a different driver and let us know if that works.

Drakain Zeil Posted August 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 Err.... What other drivers? I'm still new to linux. Is there somewhere I can find these, like the linuxgametome... only for printer drivers? Or would just google-it work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiedra Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 If you open printerdrake or mcc, go to the printers section and you'll find heaps of drivers. Try the ones that closely matches your printer make and model. You'll find drivers for different models may work with your one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakain Zeil Posted August 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 Okay, I know of a few drivers that work with it actually... so I'll try that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
