[ SOLVED ] printer error message

whitetimer · 2010-11-09 11:09:33

Hi All

I have just installed arch 64 with openbox as a standalone WM. I have samba & cups etc installed, but when i try to set up my network printer and try to print a test page, i get the following error message

'Unsupported format 'application/vnd.cups-banner'!'

I have search around but cant find any solutions that work ... Can anyone help please ?

Many Thanks

Have you tried uninstalling/installing cups again? Also it would be helpful if you provide the full log file.

Try adding "acl" to the options for the partition where your /var filesystem is located in your /etc/fstab file, for example:

/dev/sda1 / ext4 defaults,commit=60,nodiratime,noatime,acl 0 1

pyther · 2010-11-09 15:28:35

I wouldn't add the acl mount option, unless if you need acls. Cups will work perfectly fine without acl support is the filesystem (you will just a get a few errors).

Can you tell us a bit about the printer setup? Is the printer connected to a windows machine? If that is the case you would use smb:/// with some different parameters. You would not use ipp://localhost:631/printers/EpsonPrinter

whitetimer · 2010-11-09 15:34:41

yes the printer is attached to a windows box on a network. i use smb://<BOX NAME><PRINTER NAME> and i still get the same error message ... I was trying to set up Arch & Openbox only but will go back to Arch & XFCE for now as i did not have any printer connection errors there ....

Many Thanks

pyther · 2010-11-09 15:58:53

Can you post the error log when you use smb:/// I don't see any message about the error you describe in the error log you posted above.

Also please use the [ code ] blocks

whitetimer · 2010-11-09 17:02:55

I have just tried again with smb://<BOX NAME><PRINTER NAME> and this a the error log message

whitetimer · 2010-11-09 19:39:54

Sorted the problem ...

skunktrader · 2010-11-09 20:17:54

Please post what you did to resolve the problem in case somebody else has the same problem in the future

whitetimer · 2010-11-09 21:29:44

Well i think what sorted the problem might have been to edit cupsd.conf

SystemGroup lpadmin
listen localhost:631
listen *:631

I also had to install foomatic-filters & ghostscript too ....

The printer is perfect now.

I am going to be writing a noobies how to for Arch & Openbox soon ......
