    Can't print

    Well, after a week of this, I am beginning to get a little frustrated. I have an HP DJ722c on the parellel port. The printing manager detects the printer, but NOTHING happens on the printer. Everything else seems to work ok in the box. I can even see jobs enter and leave the queue (on the internal web page and lstat).

    Following some advice on the cups pages, I added LogLevel Debug to cups config. When trying to print, I then see HUNDREDS of the following text blocks in cups/error_log:

    D [29/Apr/2003:07:36:07 -0400] HWMargins = [ 15.000 30.000 15.000 30.000 ]
    D [29/Apr/2003:07:36:07 -0400] matrix = [ 4.167 0.000 0.000 -4.167 -62.500 3175.000 ]
    D [29/Apr/2003:07:36:07 -0400] cups->header.Duplex = 0
    D [29/Apr/2003:07:36:07 -0400] cups->page = 5
    D [29/Apr/2003:07:36:07 -0400] cups->ppd = 0x86987f0
    D [29/Apr/2003:07:36:07 -0400] cups->ppd->flip_duplex = 0
    D [29/Apr/2003:07:36:07 -0400] width = 2550, height = 3300
    D [29/Apr/2003:07:36:07 -0400] PageSize = [ 612 792 ], HWResolution = [ 300 300 ]

    Exact same thing, over and over.

    Elsewhere, I found this query to be somewhat interesting. Is the =m relevant? Should it be =y?

    root@bug:~# grep -i printer /usr/src/linux/.config
    CONFIG_PRINTER=m
    CONFIG_USB_PRINTER=m
    root@bug:~# grep -i parport /usr/src/linux/.config
    CONFIG_PARPORT=m
    CONFIG_PARPORT_PC=m
    CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_CML1=m
    CONFIG_PARPORT_SERIAL=m
    CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_FIFO=y
    CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO=y
    CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_PCMCIA=m
    CONFIG_PARPORT_OTHER=y
    CONFIG_PARPORT_1284=y
    CONFIG_PARIDE_PARPORT=m
    CONFIG_I2C_PARPORT=m

    help. please.
    thanks.

    I've had the exact same thing happen and changing the print driver (to gimp print I believe) solved the issue. You can change this in the printer section of the KDE Control Center. Also, the HP printer drivers were updated on the 05-03 release. I'd try changing to gimp-print first though. I've found that gimp-print drivers generally deliver higher quality printing as well.
