Re: Trouble with USB printer

Hi Chris,
I think you may try to print some document into file, normally .ps file. If it processes like a real printing job, I mean the printer also can not work, please check your printer's status: localhost:631. The printer may already stop - note the second button in CUP console. What you need is just starting the printer again.

Hi,

     I have a USB printer, HP laserjet 1600.  I'm using lenny, with cups
and the hpijs driver installed.  The printer used to work, although it
would sometimes stop due to an error. Restarting the printer usually got it working again. Recently, probably after an upgrade, it stopped 
working altogether.  The printer is still detected, and if I print to
it, the job is listed in kjobviewer, and shows up if I connect to the
cups server (localhost:631), but the printer does not do anything, and
the menu panel states "Ready". I can still print to a remote printer, so I suspect it is a problem with the USB system, not cups itself. Does anyone have a clue as to what could be wrong, or how I would go about debugging this? -Chris
