It appears to die in the process of processing the job to send it to the printer. I have been working (off and on) for 3 days on this and haven't figured it out. History: I have a heavily updated/modified 8.2. I am running 2.6.2 kernel, kde 3.2, cups 1.1.20. It has been working fine. Last week, I updated from 2.6.1 to 2.6.2, kde from 3.1.5 to 3.2, as well as a few other packages. I have checked and cannot see any suspect package. Every type of job I have tried fails (i.e. pdf from Acrobat, Mozilla printing through Kprinter and directly, command line, etc.). Besides checking through all the packages, I have built and upgraded the foomatic-filters package to the latest from linuxprinting.org, which changed the error message but still no go. I have tried booting back to 2.6.1, but printing still doesn't work, so I believe that clears the kernel (which is working really well BTW). I believe trying from the command line clears KDE 3.2, and IIANM, printing was still working after I upgraded to 3.2. The pertinent error log from the previous foomatic-rip was D [10/Feb/2004:09:40:45 +0800] [Job 217] Starting renderer D [10/Feb/2004:09:40:45 +0800] [Job 217] JCL: <job data> D [10/Feb/2004:09:40:45 +0800] [Job 217] D [10/Feb/2004:09:40:45 +0800] [Job 217] renderer PID pid4=7753 D [10/Feb/2004:09:40:45 +0800] [Job 217] renderer command: gs -q -dBATCH -dPARANOIDSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=bjc600 -dBitsPerPixel=1 -dProcessColorModel=/DeviceGray -sOutputFile=- - D [10/Feb/2004:09:40:46 +0800] [Job 217] foomatic-gswrapper: gs '-dBATCH' '-dPARANOIDSAFER' '-dQUIET' '-dNOPAUSE' '-sDEVICE=bjc600' '-dBitsPerPixel=1' '-dProcessColorModel=/DeviceGray' '-sOutputFile=| cat

I have (because of the error message above) ran fonts-config -f but still no change. Any ideas where to start to look. TIA for any help, advice, etc. This one has me stumped. :-( -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM.
