I am running KDE3.3.1 on a SuSE9.0 partition with my printer on a WinXP Pro box on my LAN. I setup the printer using YaST as HP DeskJet 610C: Queue HP on SMB server igor.ffc Configured as: HP [test] - ready. This happily prints out the test pages without any complaints. The problem starts when I attempt to print from any other applicaton. At that point the print process bombs with the following error message(s): print error occurred. Error message received from system: /usr/bin/lpr -P 'HP' '-#1' '/opt/kde3/share/apps/kdeprint/testprint.ps' : execution failed with message: Status Information, attempt 1 of 3: sending job 'computation@abnormal+606' to HP@localhost connecting to 'localhost', attempt 1 connected to 'localhost' requesting printer HP@localhost job 'computation@abnormal+606' transfer to HP@localhost failed error 'NONZERO RFC1179 ERROR CODE FROM SERVER' with ack 'ACK_FAIL' sending str '^BHP' to HP@localhost error msg: 'spool queue for 'hp' does not exist on server abnormal.ffc' error msg: ' non-existent printer or you need to run 'checkpc -f'' Waiting 10 seconds before retry Status Information, attempt 2 of 3: sending job 'computation@abnormal+606' to HP@localhost connecting to 'localhost', attempt 1 connected to 'localhost' requesting printer HP@localhost job 'computation@abnormal+606' transfer to HP@localhost failed error 'NONZERO RFC1179 ERROR CODE FROM SERVER' with ack 'ACK_FAIL' sending str '^BHP' to HP@localhost error msg: 'spool queue for 'hp' does not exist on server abnormal.ffc' error msg: ' non-existent printer or you need to run 'checkpc -f'' Waiting 10 seconds before retry sending job 'computation@abnormal+606' to HP@localhost connecting to 'localhost', attempt 1 connected to 'localhost' requesting printer HP@localhost job 'computation@abnormal+606' transfer to HP@localhost failed error 'NONZERO RFC1179 ERROR CODE FROM SERVER' with ack 'ACK_FAIL' sending str '^BHP' to HP@localhost error msg: 'spool queue for 'hp' does not exist on server abnormal.ffc' error msg: ' non-existent printer or you need to run 'checkpc -f'' Now, I don't know what I have done, or failed to do, and I certainly don't know what the problem(s) is (are). I had attempted to use CUPS for printing and failed miserable. Presently the only way that I can print something is to save it as a document, move it to the WinXP machine and print it there. Any assistance will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. -- Stephen P.
