Re: Gimp Print Problem
Embarassed. Part of the problem was a defective ink cartridge.
lp /usr/share/cups/data/testprint.ps
is now ok. But termial problem persists. lp printtest prints nothing
and generates the error_log previously reported. printtest is a one
line of plain text in a file produced by vi. I also tried copying dmesg to a
file and trying to print that file with lp, again with no output.
