Dell 1320c Printer --- Xubuntu 8.04


Hi all,

I followed the instructions in

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...ighlight=1320c

including the changes to lpd ...

Alas, nothing works. My printer insists to print only max 3 pages of a document and then the error light starts to blink ...

Using the web interface, I see that the printer thinks the tray is empty (it is not, opening and closing the tray relaunches the job ... up to 3 pages)
The manual says that when the tray and the error light blink orange, it is the wrong paper size ... but it is A4, as set up and as present in the tray (and anyway it is ok for the first 3???)

In my frustration I reinstalled XP on another PC, and there the same docs print completely normally and fine ...

Help, anybody?

Regards,

Peter

Your link is broken, so we are none the wiser.
