print error-there was a problem processing document 'icd'(job 201)
printer shows no errors, e.g.ready light is on |
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'

Try Code:
lprm 200 Code:
lpstat -a ps. When you reply, click the 'quote' button, and check the way that the 'CODE' tags are set up. Put your output between code tags, this makes reading your output much easier for us. kthxbai |

Code:
lprm - also, I'm still interested in seeing the results of lpstat. |
john@john-desktop:~$ lpstat.
No command 'lpstat.' found, did you mean: Command 'lpstat' from package 'cups-client' (main) Command 'lpstat' from package 'lprng' (universe) lpstat.: command not found john@john-desktop:~$ lpstat john@john-desktop:~$ lprm lprm: No active jobs on Lexmark-Lexmark-Z55! john@john-desktop:~$ lpstat john@john-desktop:~$ re:LQ Etiquette, am very grateful for your help ,but printer still not working, as all was ok till upgrade to 9.10 , assume printer is ok. My computer skills are limited,so have no way of solving this myself. |

Code:
sudo apt-get install cups-client also go to http://localhost:631/ in your web browser, this should give you a web front-end to cups, try re-installing the printer. If something has happened to the drivers, this should re-install them if necessary. p.s. the "LQ Etiquette" line is simply my signature, it shows up at the bottom of each of my posts. Since we haven't solved your problem yet, don't worry about it. Even if and when we do solve your problem, don't feel obligated to do anything, it's just a suggestion. |
[QUOTE=bartonski;3770750]Ok, it looks like you need the 'cups-client' package. Use
Code:
sudo apt-get install cups-client [sudo] password for john: Sorry, try again. [sudo] password for john: Then run 'lpstat' again. unable to go past (sudo), have no other password |

Re: PRINTER: Lexmark Z55 worked in 9.04, doesn't work in 9.10
SOLUTION FOUND: I checked the CUPS error logs, and the problem was libstdc++5 was missing. This was not available in the karmic repositories, so I had to use the one from jaunty. I installed the .deb for libstdc++5 from Jaunty and the printer worked. Don't know if this was the best solution, but hey, its printing, so I don't care.
