crispus Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 Ok, so I saw the CUPS update today and thought my problems would be solved but alas... updated to CUPS 1.1.21-0.rc1.7.3.101mdk but still cannot print from thunderbird, firefox or OpenOffice. Can print the exact same webpage (google) from Opera. Can print text files and graphics from editors/command line and gimp, respectively. Saw another post about lpr symlink. In a round about way my lpr command points to lpr-cups. Seems ok to me. From my cups error_log: D [18/Jan/2005:17:31:28 -0500] [Job 3] Last OS error: 2 D [18/Jan/2005:17:31:28 -0500] [Job 3] ESP Ghostscript 7.07.2: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1 D [18/Jan/2005:17:31:28 -0500] [Job 3] renderer return value: 1 D [18/Jan/2005:17:31:28 -0500] [Job 3] renderer received signal: 1 D [18/Jan/2005:17:31:28 -0500] [Job 3] tail process done writing data to STDOUT D [18/Jan/2005:17:31:28 -0500] [Job 3] KID4 finished D [18/Jan/2005:17:31:28 -0500] [Job 3] Process dying with "Possible error on renderer command line or PostScript error. Check options.", exit stat: 3 D [18/Jan/2005:17:31:28 -0500] [Job 3] Possible error on renderer command line or PostScript error. Check options. Command used by firefox and thunderbird is: lpr ${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+'-P'}${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME} but even if I truncate it to lpr it still wont' print. I have no idea how to go about resolving this. Bugging me for awhile now. Anyone have any ideas? -Crispus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispus Posted January 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 (edited) I've traced the problem to the inclusion of the filter (or whatever it is) -dPARANOIDSAFER in the print call. For example, if I enter: cat /usr/share/cups/data/testprint.ps | gs -q -dBATCH -dPARANOIDSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=ijs -sIjsServer=hpijs -sDeviceManufacturer="HEWLETT-PACKARD" -sDeviceModel="DESKJET 932" -dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=595 -dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=842 -dDuplex=false -r300 -sIjsParams=Quality:Quality=0,Quality:ColorMode=2,Quality:MediaType=0,Quality:Pen Set=2 -dIjsUseOutputFD -sOutputFile=- - > testfile The command fails but if I remove -dPARANOIDSAFER then the command works and I can send the testfile to the printer. I understand this was added as a bug fix but I also found doing a google search that some people found this tag to be too restrictive. It appears to be the source of my grief (plug to the help I got from www.linuxprinting.org). How do I remove -dPARANOIDSAFER from my print call? -Crispus Edited January 24, 2005 by crispus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
