[Bug 213362] New: Printing From Java Applications Fails With "No print service found."
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=213362 Summary: Printing From Java Applications Fails With "No print service found." Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Alpha 5 plus Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Java AssignedTo: dbornkessel@novell.com ReportedBy: rschulz@sonic.net QAContact: qa@suse.de I am unable to print from Java applications. Both jEdit 4.3pre7 (a programmer's editor -- <http://jedit.org/>) and <oXygen/> 7.2 (an XML editor -- <http://www.oxygenxml.com/>) report "No print service found." when printing is attempted (this is true for both the "Page Setup" and "Print" commands). (Eclipse does not enable its Print command. It's unknown whether this is related.) The symptom appears to be 100% reproducible. There is no perceptible delay in receiving this response. I have configured a remote CUPS printer and can successfully print to that printer from other applications. To reproduce: Launch a Java application that supports printing. Issue its "Page Setup" command (if any) or its "Print" command. The "No print service found." alert should appear immediately. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

I have now checked the Sun website and found bug reports that are of interest to CUPS users: see http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/index.jsp Bug 5109523 states that printing is OK with Sun java 1.4.2 but that the 1.5.0 PrintService does not return any printers (as I found myself). One workaround is explained by (my quotes) "I found that I could get a list of printers if I specify (or default to) AuthType None in cupsd.conf, but when I specify AuthType BasicDigest, I get no printers. I am referring here to the AuthType in <Location /> (i.e. the root cups Location).....However, this problem did not occur using 1.4.2 for some reason..... .. Other comments (see also bug 5087907) suggest a problem of interpretation of IPv4 and IPv6 format addresses, and this was said to have been fixed. At this point, I was left with the option of using the old Sun java 1.4.2 (thus being deprived of changes in more recent versions). My solution was to switch from Sun to the IBM j2SE v 5.0 (their most recent version). With this, printer discovery works and there are no problems printing from any Java apps. .. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- We have no AuthType for <Location /> in our default cupsd.conf (neither for Suse Linux nor for openSUSE) which is equivalent to "AuthType None". -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

I've actually had some discussions with Sun the other day; the issue is that the default server address in CUPS 1.2 is a domain socket, which Java does not support. They will be implementing a fix for that (fallback to localhost IP socket), but in the meantime you can create/update an /etc/cups/client.conf file containing: ServerName localhost to force your Java applications to use IP instead of domain sockets. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Had the same problem occurring last week, and if I only added the "ServerName localhost" entry to /etc/cups/client.conf, I was still unable to see printers, and still received the 'No print service found.' error, from GW and GWIM clients. This morning, I tested, and found that setting my specific IP in the ServerName line allowed printing to work, after I restarted the GroupWise client. After further digging and testing, I found that something had modified the localhost entry in my /etc/hosts file. Upon correction of the file, and restart of GroupWise and GroupWise Instant Messenger clients, the issue was resolved. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

I have JAVA 6 installed on my system, which doesn't resolve the issue. Unfortunately, editing the client.conf doesn't fix the problem for me. What works, is that after editing the file, my printers show up again in Freemind's print dialog. When I try to print, though, only the two characters "IB" are printed on my Samsung ML-4600 laser printer, leaving the rest of the page empty. This is followed by an error message on a separate piece of paper, a couple minutes later (actually being printed out): "PCL6 Error - Incomplete Session by time out Position: 0x55 (85) System: GP/os_hook Line: 1674 Version: PCL6 2.30 04-13-2001" Trying to print on my other printer (HP 1220c), has no effect at all. Neither does it print nor give any kind of error message. Also, the print dialog in Eclipse doesn't show for some reason, not sure if this is related. Hope this will be fixed.

Since all of supported distributions contains the same version of Sun Java, I expected, that is should works in older releases too. The printing from jedit, freemind, netbeans works well with cups. The eclipse has some problem (bnc#407861), but this seems to be a different problem as "No print service found." The oxygenxml needs a registration, but it includes its own JRE, so its not important. My /etc/cups/client.conf doesn't contain the "ServerName localhost" $ grep localhost /etc/cups/client.conf # local server ("localhost"), if so configured. The value can be $ grep localhost /etc/sysconfig/cups $ If you've still this problems, please attach the logs from /var/log/cups/ (error_log, access_log). 2Chris: your problem is different.
