Hello
I have now three workstations running Suse 8.1 i386 in which only in one printing works, maybe becouse it prints to a remote CUPS server that is running under Suse 7.3.
The other two punks only prints Yast2 test page, nothing more. The other has HP Deskjet 563C connected by USB the the other Brother MFC-9050 through /dev/lp0
WHen trying to print through CUPS, it prints fine and goes through the queue, gs runs for a while and so, but nothing comes out of the printer.
I have not been able to get any updates to these two as they are behind 56k modem line and unless I known exactly which packges to download, I will not do so.
Any idea how to proceed?
Firstly have you examined the log files under /var/log/cups/ ? That is the first port of call when you have problems with CUPS. Sometimes it maybe necessary to increase the debug level in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
When debugging a problem it is best to either remove/rename the existing log files. Then restart cupsd and then submit a print job and look at the log files to see what the problem is.
Be warned that on the higher debug levels a very large log file will be generated making it difficiult to see the wood for the trees.

Hi, Just a another thought have you configured your machine name in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf I would suggest you try localhost as a starting point.. e.g. ######## ######## Server Identity ######## # # ServerName: the hostname of your server, as advertised to the world. # By default CUPS will use the hostname of the system. # # To set the default server used by clients, see the client.conf file. # #ServerName myhost.domain.com ServerName localhost -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------
