Hi!
I'm running 64-bit Suse 11.0 with an HP2100 laser printer and the CUPS printing system. I am having problems printing with both Okular and Konqueror. Okular prints nothing but blank pages when I attempt to print a wide document from a Duden website. Konqueror prints the document but truncates the right side of the image.
I also just discovered that, printing a U.S. patent from onlinepatents.com with konqueror, that a few lines are dropped from each page. This error makes me wonder if the printer is printing in A4 format even though I have selected U.S. letter size as the default for the printer.
I also found that, when I attempted to print pages 90-102 of a pdf file from the intel web site, the printing stops (but with the printer waiting for more output) at page 102 after printing the following message:
PCL XL error
Subsystem: KERNEL
Error: Illegal Tag
Operator: 0x1b
Position: 2
A second error occurred when I tried to print 100-102:
PCL XL error
Subsystem: KERNEL
Error: IllegalOperatorSequence
Operator EndSession
Position: 6141
A third attempt to print just page 102 resuled in a blank sheet for output.
Is there a mailing list for printer issues?
Thanks.
doesnt look like this printer is 100% supported, you may want to take a look at this if you have not already, theres a forum link about 1/2 way down the page.
I am familiar with this page :-). I had a lot of trouble getting the HP 2100 printer to work properly until I realized that I was specifying to the Suse printer install program that I had the Postscript-capable version of the printer. When I finally figured that out, the install went smoothly and the printer started working. I did have problems getting the printer to default to us letter instead of A4, and I now wonder if there are still problems with the usletter selection specification in the printer install program. Also, all of the problems I am seeing with output appear to be software. I have been using HP Laserjet printers for about 20 years. I have never had hardware problems with either of my printers and the first printer worked well with Windows and NT except for IE which doesn't print very well even at the local library. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
