Hi. First of all: Sorry, I never saw your problems before. Pierre Patino wrote:
Hello everyone Two hours of RFM and Google and I can't solve these:
1) I can't print from the gimp -> tons of blank pages. Even after turning accounting off in /etc/foomatic/filter.conf
Looks like you are printing raw data. Have a closer look at the logfiles: /var/log/cups/error_log Maybe "debug" for more verbose information in the logfile is necessary. In this case set option in file /etc/cups/cupsd.conf LogLevel debug and do a "rccups force-reload" as root.
2) No print quality choices (plain paper, grayscale, medium quality color, high quality color, photo etc) on any other application (OO, mozilla, etc)
Did you install your printer as a "raw queue" or as a filtered one (= with PPD file)? If the PPD file is missing (= /etc/cups/ppd/<<queuename>>.ppd ) then reinstall the PPD file (and optional set your page size in one step): lpadmin -p <<queue>> -P \ /usr/share/cups/model/HP/PhotoSmart_P1100-hpijs.ppd.gz \ -o PageSize=Letter If this fails, have a closer look at the cups logfiles (see above).
The printer is HP Photosmart P1000 which worked very very very very very well under my old SuSE 8.2 system with absolutely no need to download anything from the web.
If you just copied your printer configuration from old SuSE 8.2 then this is the problem. Permissions/Ownership and number of options in the config files have changed.
I've got both a foomatic_hpijs queue and a CUPS-GIMP queue which test well.
Means that this is not a CUPS specific problem, as CUPS is already printing pages with your new configuration for the test pages. You should search your problem more in the gimp package suite, in this case.
In a possible answer to #2, do I have to create a queue for every single print quality choice? I never had to do that before!
I doubt that this helps. There is something weird in your current printing system. In doubt, I would re-install the whole printing system.
Any help from a printing veteran?
