Chris H Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Fairly fresh and up to date install 2009/kde/gnome Have discovered that I can't get any print output from Firefox or the PDF document viewer. Works fine with the test print from cups or openoffice. A browse on the interweb suggests a printer variable maybe not set in my environment. Any ideas? Currently printing as pdf and opening in openoffice to print :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris H Posted November 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 (edited) I should add that the elusive print jobs don't even make it as far as the queue. No extra disk activity, nothing, just preparing printing info box and that's it. Oh, and this was the disk where the printing system wasn't installed by default and I had to add it later via urpmi. Maybe a package missing that should have been loaded. Edited November 21, 2008 by Chris H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris H Posted November 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Solved! Kept getting error messages from evince - Too many failed attempts, something about authorisation, etc. Turns out to be a line in the /etc/cups/printers.conf set to "AuthInfoRequired No" :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
