CUPS & USB espon printer
hi im trying to get printer to work. im using CUPS.
i dont have lpring installed, and the printer works on my Win part. printer: EPSON CX6600 startup message: Code:
andlers: Code:
root@HELIX:~# lpinfo -v i tried again using the web interface, trying different locations from the lpinfo cmd. no luck, the printer just sits their when i try and print the test page, i also tried using the Kprint with CUPS but it would do anthing. im pretty sure usb is working by the output i posted. thanks :) |
I do not understand any of the output but have you got the cups daemon running?
/etc/rc.d/rc.cups must be executable so that it runs on bootup and fires up the cups daemon (cupsd). Have you got a process monitor running? Look for cupsd. Or type cupsd as root in a terminal and see what happens. |
Try http://localhost:631/ (in any browser) and click Do Administration Tasks, need to login as root and passwd, then do what it says.
Also need to have cups started, if your printer needs cups. |
Yup cups is running, i just checked the bootup scripts, and:
root@HELIX:~# ls -l /etc/rc.d/rc.cups -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3942 2005-01-05 02:13 /etc/rc.d/rc.cups* root@HELIX:~# /etc/rc.d/rc.cups status cups: scheduler is running. i then ran the command: root@HELIX:~# cupsd cupsd: Child exited with status 98! WilliamS "..tried again using the web interface..." thanks for the reply anyway! :) |
Anything in /var/log/cups/error_log?
|
Their is lots of data in the file, but no errors jump out at me, just adding and deleting printer information.
