http://ubuntuforums.org – I've been trying to get my LP 2844-Z shipping label printer (Z means that it uses the ZPL language) to work with two machines, one with Snow Leopard, and one with Mountain Lion.* Ubuntu should use the same CUPS (Common Unix Printing System), which is why I'm posting here. I set up the printer using the standard ZPL driver.* I am able to print a test page from CUPS at "localhost:631/" and the CUPS test page prints crystal clear text but the CUPS test image is a bit blurry.* Whenever I try to print any sort of image using OSX, I get very blurry images printed.* I figured out the r (Hardware)

I do not have a solution to your problem but I would suggest to point a browser to 127.0.0.1:631 and configure CUPS from that. You will inteact directly with CUPS and it is better for debugging. Now can you see your printer from there?

I installed fedora 11 on this machine about 3 weeks ago. My printer, an HP Photosmart C4200, worked fine out of the box.

But I discover today that I cannot print anything. Not even a test page using CUPS (http://localhost:631/printers/). If I try to print something, it sits in the queue, but does not get printed.

Hi Everyone,I have a huge problem and I have problems to solve it :S...I've been used to install cups and hplip for my printer, then start cups (rc.d start cups) and go to the cups page at localhost, add printer.... But today, when I tried to print a file he fails saying ""/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstoraster failed"...

Hello ;)

i'm using a Lexmark Pro 905 printer , it's a local printer with Ethernet connection to the pc. I installed the driver and this used to work on 11.2, now with openSUSE 11.3 it's not working. THe yast test page comes out but nothing is printed from open office. I opened port 661 UDP in the firewall but still no result comes from open office.

Hello,

I am working on to develope a printer driver for 24 pin DMP using CUPS.

After installing the driver, when i print the test page then it has been printed with some extra space at the bottom (Image attached for the same). How i can remove this extra space from the test page or how i can customize the test page?

Please help. Thanks in advance.

Hello all, a recent upgrade broke something in CUPS. For the last few months I on one of my systems I can print only ONCE.

Hi all, I am able to connect to the cups server of my university and the printers are all displayed in the printing settings app. I can print a test page on any of the printers from there. But when i try to print any document,image etc no printer comes up on the screen.

Hi all,I have a Canon MP600 printer/scanner connected via USB to a small print- and scan-server running Arch (last update was yesterday). The printer is shared over the network and can be accessed from a Windows 7 client. But from time to time after 1-2 prints the printer crashes. I that happens, only a power disconnect can bring it back.

the remote printer appears in cups but if I try to do a test page i get a page not found error. it even says ready under yast printers.

it is set up on a remote desktop using cups>:(
