I've been using SuSE 8.0 with CUPS and a HP DeskJet 690C for about a week now. In the beginning all was fine, but now it seems to be acting strangely. I just printed a one-page spreadsheet from Kspread: a page came out blank apart from two comma's printed near the top and bottom, then the spreadsheet, and finally another page with comma's. Yesterday it printed a page of rubbish - not a bunch of ASCII characters as you sometimes get, but 'real' rubbish - no text of any kind, just random lines and blocks of ink. Anyone now how to fix it? Or should I change to a different printing system? Geraint Jones

maybe worth a try:-
turn off printer, and un-plug it.
then, delete all files in /tmp which might be
printer related.
then, go to /var/spool/lpd { or, whatever your printer
uses} and delete any

Hi All I've noticed that there are patches to CUPS that are out now. They seem to fix the problems I have had here at work. At home things were worst, but I'm hoping with the new patches they will be sorted as well. Check the online updates. Eddie On Thursday 09 May 2002 12:42 pm, Rikard "DustPuppy" Johnels wrote:
