It used to work, up until I when I don't know, maybe after some online updates a few months ago. Still works on OS/2 & windoz. Printer is LaserJet 4 on 192.168.0.4:9100.
KControl shows "State: idle (rejecting jobs)", and no jobs, while KJobViewer shows several jobs queued, all size 0, pages 0. If I try to remove a job from the queue, I get an error popup "Unable to perform action 'Remove' on selected jobs. Error received from manager: Execution of lprm failed:"
What I would do is open the cups control webpage at http://localhost:631/. There you should see a menu for "printers", where you will see the list of printers with their status. If it asks for a password, you have to add it with the command "lppasswd". Even root needs one.
I tried the lpadmin man page, but nowhere I can figure out does it tell how to find out the printer name(s) available to specify, or how to specify all existing printers. Again like most man pages, no or not enough examples are provided.
lpadmin is used to create or change printers, not to activate them.
lpinfo -l -v shows:
"lpstat -a" will show you your entire list of printers with their status. And the name you have to feed other commands; for example, there is "cupsenable" (previously named "enable", I think) which is used to re-activate a printer.
Where in YaST2
Search for "print" in the search box. But I'd recommend the web page instead.
for "Execution of lprm failed" turned up nothing useful.
There is a log. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
