Re: CUPS (Sid) not printing. (SOLVED?)

I will add it to /set/modules and see. I did not have this problem
with 2.6.16 kernels but then again, I do not do all that much
printing so maybe I did. Cups writes printer.conf with the default
printer (with the data switch setting the parallel line to it) as
"idle" and the second printer (not live) to "stopped". So why did I
need to manually "start" the supposedly "idle" printer?

Run

/usr/sbin/tunelp -s /dev/lp0

and see what it says. It should ideally say online/ready.

I have two printers and use them through a switchbox.
Either one with it power off: 127, out of paper, on-line
The (default) hp690 turned on: 95, busy, on-line
The epson lq570, 223, on-line.


I also see this behaviour. At least it shows the parallel port is
working.

Physical connection:

Disconnected: 127, busy, out of paper, on-line
Connected at host only: 127, busy, out of paper, on-line

EPSON C60:

Connected to printer (off): 127, busy, out of paper, on-line
Connected to printer (on): 95, busy, on-line
Connected to printer (off): 95, busy, on-line

EPSON EPL-6200:

Connected to printer (off): 127, busy, out of paper, on-line
Connected to printer (startup): 87, busy, on-line, error
Connected to printer (on): 223, on-line
Connected to printer (off): 127, busy, out of paper, on-line

The hps listed as idle, the epson as stopped. Changing this by starting or
stopping the printers from localhost:631 makes no difference.

Next, set LogLevel to debug in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf. Restart cups,
and then try printing something. The log in /var/log/cups/error_log
should give some explanation of what went wrong. You can put the
error_log up for download if you can't see yourself what's wrong.
