Running SuSE 10.1 with hplip-0.9.11, I cannot print the first page of my bank statement. This has been going on since 9.3 and earlier versions of hplip. I can print the statement starting from page 2 to end, but cannot print page 1 by itself or with the whole PDF file. Watching the status from HP Toolbox it indicates that the printer received the job and that it printed it. This is a networked printer on its own jetdirect interface. I have no problem with any other PDFs or print jobs. I also seem to remember being able to print from other distros. Any idea why it seems to be only SuSE and just this one source?
Hi Scott, Two comments... First, it's really very important to determine the precise facts as they pertain to your ability/inability to print page one of these statements in another distribution. There's nothing more maddening than chasing after the cause for a clue that turns out to be nonexistent. Second, what applications have you tried opening and printing these statements from? Acrobat Reader? KPDF? OpenOffice.org? Do they all stumble in the same way? Is there a way to redirect or trap/spool the output at the printer to examine it for clues? Sorry if this is naive but I actually remember having to manually embed printer control codes in my documents. ;-) It'd be interesting to see what the data stream hitting the print engine looks like since the driver seems to be indicating the first page is printing. regards, Carl -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
