not able to print to one printer using CUPS
All,
I am hard time printing to one particular Canon IR8500 printer Red hat WE are using CUPS to manager around 30 printers. But this printer says $lpstat -p printer Comm-ir8500pdf disabled since Jan 01 00:00 - Connected to Print-Server.opex.local... output from /etc/cups/printers.conf <Printer Comm-ir8500pdf> Info Created by redhat-config-printer 0.6.x Location DeviceURI lpd://Print-Server.opex.local/Comm-ir8500pdf State Stopped StateMessage Connected to Print-Server.opex.local... Accepting Yes JobSheets none none QuotaPeriod 0 PageLimit 0 KLimit 0 </Printer> when I try to start the printer from CUPS, it comes back immediately to Printer State: Stopped, accepting jobs After I delete it and redefine it, the status says Idle, but as soon as I submit a job, the status change to 'Stopped' At this point I am just cluless on how to fix this. Tia, Aopex. |
Hi,
And welcome to LQ! You could see what /usr/sbin/accept <queue name> does. If that fails - bump up the log-level in cupsd.conf, restart CUPS and check cups' error-file after you try to do anything with that printer... Cheers, Tink |
Tink,
Thanks for your reply. I tried /usr/sbin/accept <queue name> but its not doing anything. I have LogLevel to Debug2 but that also is not giving any clue. d [01/Feb/2009:21:46:41 -0500] ProcessIPPRequest: URI="ipp://localhost/printers/ Comm-ir8500pdf" d [01/Feb/2009:21:46:41 -0500] accept_jobs(0xb7c7c008[6], ipp://localhost/printe rs/Comm-ir8500pdf) I [01/Feb/2009:21:46:41 -0500] Saving printers.conf...

So there's no lines beginning with E or e in there?
Odd ... egrep "^[Ee] " error_log On an unrelated note: what's the meaning of the PDF in the printers queue name? Also: in your first post it was identified as lpd:// and now you have it down as ipp:// ? Which is it? Cheers, Tink |
thanks for your reply again !!
Here is the output of egrep cmd E [02/Feb/2009:19:36:06 -0500] LoadAllJobs: Unable to queue job for destination"http://lintest:631/printers/Comm-ir8500pdf"! E [02/Feb/2009:19:36:06 -0500] LoadAllJobs: Unable to queue job for destination"http://lintest:631/printers/Comm-ir8500pdf"! E [02/Feb/2009:19:37:06 -0500] PID 24375 stopped with status 1! the printer is defined as Comm-ir8500pdf on our windows network, that why i have kep the same name for the Queue. I was using system-config-printer utility to setup the printer and test the CUPS page. That why you saw the ipp command there. I have deleted the printer and redefied it. Tia, Aopex |
