Printer Problem

Fice · 06-18-2005, 02:25 PM

Hi Im having problem installing my printer. Im using Arch 0.7 with KDE. At first the problem was with cups being that I followed a Gentoo Wiki to set it up and just ended up not working. Now I gut Cups Up and running and now I can actually use the control center to add printers and things. My printer is the Samsung ML1710 and I downloaded the gdi drivers from linuxprinting.org but when I set it up it just wont print not even the test page.

any help would be gratefull.

Do you have the ghostscript package installed? Might be a stupid suggestion but I did that to myself once and couldn't figure out the problem. If so, run this in a terminal while you try and print a page:

Code:

tail -f /var/log/cups/error_log

and post the results

Ok after looking around I finaly found an error message and its the following:

A print error occurred. Error message recieved from system:

cupsdoprint -P 'SamsungML-1710' -J " -H 'localhost:631' -U 'raven' -o'
multiple-document-handling=separate-documents-uncollated-copies
orientation-requested=3' '/opt/kde/share/apps/kdeprint/testprint.ps' :
execution failed with message:
client-error-not-possible

Any idea of how to solve this?

thanks.
