Hi guys, now i'm having troubles with my EPSON LX-300+, i've already installed my printer with its driver --> Epson Dot Matrix Foomatic/eps9high (Epson-Dot_Matrix-eps9high.ppd)i have allowed all my users to access de CUPS and the printer, but every time i try to print from console or the trial print from the cups:
lpr file
i always get this message:
lpr: Quota Limit Reached
and i've tried all, re-installing my printer and the cups but everything stays the same, that damn error keeps showing and showing, so if anyone knows how to fix it i would be very pleased, or anyone could tell me if i'm picking the wrong ppd?
Try using the CUPS administrative web interface. Point your web browswer to localhost:631. You will see a web page with a bunch of options. Check your printer settings using this interface. I don't know what you would be looking for but it may become apparent when you are poking around.
Distribution: openSuSE Tumbleweed-KDE, Mint 21, MX-21, Manjaro

Rep:
Uuups. I think I remember CUPS and lp are incompatible (at least at my SuSE box). Maybe that is the reason the lpr command doesn't work. Try a different command (e.g. Kprinter) or look what lpr points at...
