The printer doesn't work
Hi all! First of all I apologize for my poor english, I'm italian.
I jumped into linux world 3 weeks ago installing on my desktop pc ubuntu breezy from a cd and then I upgraded to dapper. I had some problems in setting up my system, but now everything is fine except the printer. I have a lexmark X1180, but reading wikies and forums I understood that lexmark is not a friend of linux, so a friend borrowed me an Epson Stylus Colors 580 wich driver is installed with the system (gutenberg), but I wasn't able to put this printer at work. Here the details: Pc is a desktop with AMD athlon 64 (so dapper is amd64 version) the printer is connected in local via USB port. I installed the printer with gnome printer manager The printer is detected by the printer manager and it sets automatically the right driver. but when I try to print a test page it says: ERROR 1034 - THE PRINTER IS PAUSED? (I hope this is the right translation) But the printer is READY not PAUSED. In the localhost facility everything seems to be fine, the printer is detected and configured, the printer icon shows the green led on, but if I try to print a test page says: Unsupported format 'application/postscript'! If I try to print from command line this is the result: luca@luca:~$ lp file.txt lp: Unsupported format 'text/plain'! This is the access_log file after a try from gnome printer manager: localhost - - [15/Jul/2006:19:04:49 +0200] "POST / HTTP/1.1" 200 136 Get-Jobs successful-ok localhost - - [15/Jul/2006:19:04:52 +0200] "POST / HTTP/1.1" 200 136 Get-Jobs successful-ok localhost - - [15/Jul/2006:19:04:52 +0200] "GET /ppd/Stylus-Color-580.ppd HTTP/1.1" 200 65917 - - localhost - - [15/Jul/2006:19:04:52 +0200] "POST /printers/Stylus-Color-580 HTTP/1.1" 200 155403 Print-Job client-error-document-format-not-supported localhost - - [15/Jul/2006:19:04:55 +0200] "POST / HTTP/1.1" 200 136 Get-Jobs successful-ok And this is error_log E [15/Jul/2006:18:07:46 +0200] Creating missing directory "/var/run/cups/certs" And here the printers.conf file # Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.2.1 # Written by cupsd on 2006-07-17 23:53 <Printer epson580> Info Location DeviceURI usb://EPSON/Stylus%20COLOR%20580 State Idle StateTime 1153173224 Accepting Yes Shared Yes JobSheets none none QuotaPeriod 0 PageLimit 0 KLimit 0 OpPolicy default ErrorPolicy stop-printer </Printer> The cups version is 1.2.1 I hope that someone can help me. because I wanto leave windows at all, but this is impossible until my printer is not working.

Thank you for your help, but unfortunately it wasn't the solution, the string you sent to me is present in the stcany.upp files.
Many thanks again. |
