cups foomatic problem
My system is Debian Testing with a 2.4.20 kernel. An Epson Stylus Color
printer is on usblp0.
I used apt-get install to install cupsys, cupsomatic-ppd and
foomatic-bin. Three drivers were listed for the printer. I tried each
in turn with the commands
lpadmin -p lp -E -v usb:/dev/usblp0 -m "one of the 860 drivers"
lp testtext
In all three cases nothing was printed. The attachment is a segment of
error_log.
Background: A year ago I purchased the CUPS Manual with CD. The
printer worked perfectly with the CD software. Recently I installed
KDE. The printer worked from the terminals but not from KDE. Then I
installed the Debian packages as described above. The printer no longer
responds even to the command line.
I have a second system running Debian Woody with a 2.4.18 kernel and a
Brother HL-730 laser printer on /dev/lp0. When I installed the Debian
releases on this system everything work immediately. I can print from
the command line, from the KDE Printing Manager test and from Star Office.
I would appreciate any suggestions to get the testing system running.
