Printing Problem with FC1


I installed PCQLinux2004 (bundled with pcquest magazine), based on FC1 in March and it was working perfect except it does not print to file (like from Mozilla) or to my printer (HP LaserJet 4L).

I tried with every possible option menitoned in the linuxprinting.org, upgraded to the latest ghostcript-related, gimp-print-related and redhat-config-printer related files to the latest, yet the printer is not working. However in cups (localhost:631) all jobs appear to be in "completed status".

Just last night, I have recompiled also the kernel 2.6.8.1 with the latest binutils package and also updated all glibc-related and nscd and nptl-related packages. Also upgraded are iptables-related, hpijs, hwdata, up2date and ghostscript-related files to the latest. Yet with no printing to file and to the printer.

However, the printing works fine in Mandrake 10 and Windows. I searched around everything on the Net and could not find any solution. Also, I made a fresh installation on a different drive (/dev/hdb) and still the problem persists.

I eaglerly look forward to replies from geeks. Thanking you in advance!

Physical Printer Worked, But Not to File!

Now my physical printer (HP4L) works yet the printing to file still does NOT work at all.

This is what I did to make my physical printer (not to the file) work ( I am posting this with the belief that it may also help others with the similar problem):

1) I deleted the printer created using the 'buggy' redhat-config-printer.

2) Then at the root prompt, I gave /usr/bin/kaddprinterwizard command.

3) I chose the CUPS+gimp-print-2.4.x as driver against the recommended fommatic+hpijs driver.

4) And presto, the HP4L started printing.

Now, I need some guidelines to make printing to file (to ps) work.
