Hi,

I'm having trouble printing from my locally connected USB printer. It's configured via the gnome-cups-manager and is at /dev/usb/lp0. I'm running Debian with GNOME so the device is taken care of by dbus and hal.

And I can't get it to print! Looking at the localhost:631 cups page, everytime I send something to print, it appears to be cancelled. Trying to restart the print job results in a message saying "client-error-not-possible".

I think cups is setup correctly because I can print to my network printer when I'm in the office, but I can't seem to get it to print with my USB printer. I've installed everything necessary, foomatic drivers, cupsys drivers, gimpprint drivers, and nothing seems to work.

Please help.

p.s. Why is it that things like this always happen when a deadline draws near?

What make and model printer is it? It sounds like it cant see the printer in which case I'd reinstall it in CUPS. I'm afraid I've had fairly big probs with CUPS on my HP - I now use their hplip driver which rocks.
Hope this helps
Chris

After I installed every cups package available in synaptic and restarted my computer, it worked. I don't know what did it, but as long as it works, that's enough for me

If anyone else has this problem, I'm guessing it's because CUPS is missing something. Installing everything solves the problem, though it isn't the most elegant solution.
