Counterspy Posted March 1, 2003 Report Share Posted March 1, 2003 I am getting the following message repeated several times at bootup and have no idea how to go about fixing it. Here is the message: ptal-mlcd:ErroratExmgr.cpp.2469,dev=<mlc:usb:PSC_2100_Series@/dev/usb/lp [0-9]*> pid=1477, e2. There should be spaces between Error and at and ay and Exmgr. The printer is obviously a USB device, specifically a HP 2110 All-in-one Printer, Scanner, Copier. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I should mention that the first time I installed Linux it worked, but has not done so since. I have tried not plugging it in until printer detection in the install, but have not tried plugging it in during a reconfig on MCC. In Windows you do not not plug it in until the software is installed. After you assemble the printer and load it with paper, plug in the USB and then plug in the power. Moresettings are made in the printer's control panel after paper is ;oaded. The printer works in Windows in all three functions quite well.

pmpatrick Posted March 3, 2003 Report Share Posted March 3, 2003 I have no idea what the error message means. I associate anything with a .cpp file extension with a C++ source file. Probably a holdover from my college programing days. As to your problem, I did a quick google and came up with a couple of people reporting similar problems: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&...one&sa=N&tab=wg One person reported an identical problem and stated he was able to fix things by configuring in drakconf using CUPS. He gave no details unfortunately: http://groups.google.com/groups?q=linux+hp...wcrnsc53&rnum=9 Also, linuxprinting.org reports that your device should work "Perfectly" with the HP hpijs driver: http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer....num=HP-PSC_2110 I would try removing the printer in mcc and reinstalling the driver making sure it's hpijs. If no joy there, try the drakconf thing or run printdrake from a console. I've had trouble configuring printers in mcc (system hangs) but was able to do so with printdrake successfully.

Counterspy Posted March 3, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2003 Thank you for your efforts in finding an answer. I did not see the final message until my system froze on bootup because of another problem. It was "llioOPenone failed". I have since abandoned Mandrake and switched to Redhat until 9.1 comes out. It doesn't work there either so I have attached my old printer, a Canon BJC 240. I believe I have another hardware problem that prevented a Mandrake reinstall from working and if I can't find the problem, I'll begin a gradual system upgrade.

Guest GorGor Posted March 10, 2003 Report Share Posted March 10, 2003 Counterspy you mention that your printer once worked. that got me thinking (for once) check if you have enabled certain services to use the printer. For me, I rarely print so I turn CUPS on manually b4 I can print. For others reading this, if CUPS service is ON then http://localhost:631/ will take you to the printer stuff. And if service is OFF you will get an error message like this in your fav browser Could not connect to host localhost (port 631) NOw that is good for cups don't know about the other stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Counterspy Posted March 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 The key is the kernel module that failed, described in an earlier message. Thanka for your try though. Counterspy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
