qeldroma Posted April 9, 2003 Report Share Posted April 9, 2003 Equal which version, one day it hangs!! I got an Epson C62, and after printing some larger documents, it can't print any longer!! No error, just printer get's ready again, as if it had printed. But he does nothing!! I get furious about that!! Is it a cups fault? Or Mandrake/KDE/Ghostscript? After such a faulty print without errors i can't print any more until i reinstall Mandrake!! reinstallation of CUPS/GS/FOOMATIC didn't help out!! Deleting /etc/cups and /var/spool/cups either. Sorry for the !!, but i am REALLY upset, because i hoped, this is getting fixed now!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aru Posted April 9, 2003 Report Share Posted April 9, 2003 Can you print directly to your printer, ie: echo "hello" > /dev/lp0 or whichever device is conectet your printer to. what about the reports of lpstat -t Gives it any useful info about what is happening?

qeldroma Posted April 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2003 Echo works, lpstat nothing special....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aru Posted April 9, 2003 Report Share Posted April 9, 2003 Are the jobs queued, or are them directly trashed? I'm asking that, because I had a similar problem in my slackware-cups, and was because the default printer settings where wrong. What happens if you try lpr -Pprinter_name file ?
