Problem with Printing on Linux

xkenshin · 12-19-2006, 10:17 PM

I have a Ubuntu Machine that connected directly to a ML-1210 Samsung printer. this Ubuntu machine can print without any problem. I later setup another client ubuntu pc, and shared the printer from the 1st PC using cups, and the 2nd PC also works without any problem.
Then i setup the 3rd machine, with the same cups configuration from the 2nd PC, unfortunately this 3rd PC can't print properly, all does it print is

-12345X@PJL SET PAPERTYPE = NORMAL ON
@PJL SET DENSITY =3
@PJL SET TONETSAVE = OFF
@PJL SET ECONOMODE = OFF
@PJL SET RET = OFF
@PJL SET JAMRECOVERY = ON
@PJL SET REPRINT = ON
@PJL SET ALTITUDE = OFF
@PJL DEFAULT TIMEOUT = 15
@PJL DEFAULT POWERSAVE = ON
@PJL DEFAULT POWERSAVETIME = 5
@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = SMART
@PJL JOB START
@PJL RESOLUTION = 600
@PJL COPIES = 1
@PJL PAGE A4 AUTO
@PJL BITMAP START

Does anyone know, what is the problem?

When you set up the printer on machine 3, using cups on machine 3, did you specify that the printer is of type "Raw"? I think you did not, and you should have done so, rather naming the printer Manufacturer & model, because the printer "driver" is already on the machine that is physically connected to the printer.

So on machine 3, delete that printer, and re-install it as type "Raw".

Hello xkenshin,

What you got is a data that is lost. The question is how did you connect your Samsung ML-1210, by parallel or by USB. If you did connect the printer by parallel, give USB a try. USB gives less problems than parallel. If it is already connected by USB, try another USB cable.

Best regards,

Yves
