hello,
I am trying to print a pdf file to a network printer (From an Antix 13.2 system).
The message above is coming up.
What to do in order to solve this?
(this dont happens in another system in the house with Debian 7).
here is a start of a response http://www.experts-exchange.com/Hard..._28415942.html but a step by step command for solving the issue would be appreciated.

There isn't enough to go on to provide a definite solution. A more in-depth analysis may lead to something more definite though

First, ny existing print job(s) can be purged with

Code:

cancel -a

CUPS logging verbosity can be increased with

Code:

cupsctl LogLevel=debug2

Restart CUPS, then begin a print job and examine the error log for pertinent messages (/var/log/cups/error_log). If you need help to analyse this, then I'd suggest uploading the contents to http://pastebin.com/ or similar, and share the link it generates here.
