http://forums.opensuse.org – 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. I then added the printer in cups but i still have an error and no print : ( cups-1.4.4-2.3.i586 ) Lexmark_Network_Backend_1 Lexmark Pro800-Pro900 Series Local Printer Lexm (Distributions)

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 have Fedora 17, KDE. I open Printer Configuration and choose New Printer. I a CUPS server error, "There was an error during the CUPS operation: ' cups-authorization-canceled'. The printer is plugged in.

I previously added a Photosmart-C2400 sucessfully.

Can't print with Lexmark X2500 3 years 19 weeks ago

I just installed OpenSuse on my machine which had Windows. Everything works except my printer/scanner. I don't really need the scanner, but I absolutely must be able to print. It's a Lexmark x2500. OpenPrinting.org suggests using the pbm2l2030 filter. I've set this up with the printer configuration in Yast, and I have to manually select the driver.

I have a Lexmark S450 printer connective via WiFi. Lexmark's proprietary drivers work OK for printing, and their included GUI configuration application displays the printer's ink levels. I would like to write a little script that connects to the printer a few times per day and reads its ink levels.

XUBUNTU 12.10 I have a problem with my Lexmark Interact S605. I installed it using the DEBs from lexmark.com, but I'm having the cups-insecure-filter problem. On my dad's laptop I didn't have this problem.

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"...

Hi everyone,

I tried to install a new printer via the Printer Configuration GUI, but I always got an error message from CUPS saying "There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'cups-authorization-canceled'." I did a little bit of research on that but couldn't figure out how to solve the problem (yes, CUPS is running), so I installed the printer via the http://127.0.0.1:631/ and it

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.
