Hello everyone I recently installed my EpsonC86 Printer with CUPS on my machine. I can print a test page just fine, but when I try to print a web page I get nothing. Ive tryed usin lp, lpr and any of those other commands. When I veiw the the printer querie I can see the the jobs. But they just pile up. Any ideas?

check if cupsd is running

It should be, I am pretty sure the service starts at boot time.

(1) Check, if you really have cups and only cups installed. If you have more than one printing/spooling system installed, they may interfere. On my Slack 10 box I have done a default install, which includes lprng and cups, and cups worked just fine, nevertheless, but quite a few people on LQ report problems caused by having installed more than one printing software package. Of course, you can choose lprng in favour of cups, but cups is probably more flexible for heterogeneous environments (otherwise some people would argue that lprng is much simpler). It's up to you. I assume, that you want cups.

(2) Only one of the printing systems you have installed should be started by your system at boot time. In order to start at boot time a daemon (server software) will have to be executable.

# chmod u+x /etc/rc.d/rc.cups (as root)

(3) Start the service:

# /etc/rc.d/rc.cups restart

(4) Follow the quickstart tutorial on http://www.linuxprinting.org. You should get almost any printer working with the information and downloads provided here. Eg, you find current drivers for many printers, open and closed source, community or vendor developed.

Good luck!

I think it may be interfereing because of this:

Fatal error - Another print spooler active, possibly lpd process '21459'

So if it is interfereing how do I disable the other print spooler?

Problem solved!!!
