Can't print on any printer!

Deusdies · 2012-09-09 22:47:07

Cups 1.6.1, kernel 3.5.3

I have 2 printers that I tried and neither of them work. I just came back home from Europe after 9 months and reinstalled arch (update broke everything), and the printer worked before. I have a Lexmark X2600.

I can add it on cups webinterface just fine, but printing the test page results in this error:

I've tried the following:

- 2 different drivers from Lexmark's website (gutenberg doesn't support this model out of the box)
- rmmoding and modprobing usblp
- restarted cupsd a zillion times
- rebooted many times as well
- different USB ports, cables
- even a different printer. I went to the store and bought an Epson NX230. It gave me exactly the same message, with the Epson's drivers from the website.
- downgrading cups to 1.5.4, libcups, and ghostscript to 9.05

Sometimes the "state" on the localhost:631 for the printer would say "(null)" and sometimes "filter failed".

I'm really baffled. Can anyone please help?

Not sure this will help but just for kicks, try setting pdftops-renderer=pdftops.

Deusdies · 2012-09-10 01:10:06

Is this the correct command?

sudo lpadmin -p Lexmark_2600_Series -o pdftops-renderer=pdftops

cfr · 2012-09-10 02:01:00

I used:

sudo lpadmin -p HP1320 -o pdftops-renderer-default=pdftops

according to my notes. Obviously the printer name depends on the name of your printer.

Deusdies · 2012-09-10 02:02:03

Okay, tried that, no luck

bws · 2012-09-10 16:09:35

Seems to be a common issue. See this thread and my post (#9) https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=148496

As stated there, I had to install avahi and include the "avahi-deamon" in my rc.conf to get cups working again. Now everything works as before.

Deusdies · 2012-09-10 19:31:51

Thanks for taking the time to reply, but that didn't help. I already had avahi-daemon service running.

cfr · 2012-09-10 22:15:20

Try enabling debugging for cups and see if you get anything useful in the logs for cups.

Deusdies · 2012-09-10 22:17:25

Done that too, nothing of any help really.

afulm · 2012-09-11 01:15:24

I seem to have the very same problem so I'm waiting eagerly for a solution.

fdservices · 2012-09-12 15:23:29

Me too please, seems to affect Colour Printers only, which may be obvious from the error messages I guess.

Andrew

fdservices · 2012-09-13 09:36:03

The answer seems to be to delete and reinstall the affected printers

Andrew

Deusdies · 2012-09-13 09:36:48

Not for me, did that at least 10 times.

fdservices · 2012-09-13 09:38:14

OK, it worked for me though, what printers are affected?

Deusdies · 2012-09-13 09:38:52

Lexmark x2600 and Epson NX230 - as mentioned in the OP.

Deusdies · 2012-09-13 10:04:31

Okay FWIW, I've just bought a brand new computer (obviously not because of this), and it still gives the same error. So definitely not hardware related, unless both of the printers are dead, which I doubt.

fdservices · 2012-09-13 12:51:15

I can't say anything about the Lexmark, but my Epson is no longer even recognised as a printer by CUPS. I can still scan from it though. Weird!

afulm · 2012-09-13 13:44:39

I have it too on a samsung ML-1670. Printing works fine in my virtualbox windows.

Deusdies · 2012-09-14 02:31:34

Confirmed, printing works fine in VirtualBox running Windows 7 as a guest OS.

fdservices · 2012-09-14 14:40:36

My mistake, I overwrote to cupsd.conf on one of the updates and forgot to make my amendments.

Everything works fine now

Andrew

David Batson · 2012-09-15 01:43:04

It appears that dnssd is not working (for me) with the latest updates.
Even though the following command worked...

[root@myhost ~]# lpinfo -v
network socket
network https
network ipps
network lpd
network ipp
network http
network smb
network beh
network dnssd://Brother%20HL-2270DW%20series._pdl-datastream._tcp.local/
network dnssd://Brother%20HL-2270DW%20series._ipp._tcp.local/
network lpd://BRW002258191E50/BINARY_P1
network cnijnet:/00-1E-8F-A6-5A-72

Neither of the above two dnssd URI's would work with my Brother printer - although the first one used to before the updates. I suspect the problem is with cups 1.6.1 as it includes the file usr/lib/cups/backend/dnssd. I did get the following URI to work though: lpd://192.168.0.10/BINARY_P1
[192.168.0.10 is the ip address of my network printer]. The cnijnet:/00-1E-8F-A6-5A-72 URI still works with my Canon printer.

I suggest googling for URI's that have been known to work with your brand (and perhaps model) of printer.
