Did you do this:
Afterwards you might also change /etc/cups/cups.d/ports.conf this way:
Code:
Listen localhost:631
# Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock
after re-installing cupsys?
Yep. My file had both those lines active. I commented out the file socket but it made no difference.
To drb, mine is a clean Easter RC4 install updated frequently since in the normal manner. I remember the Printer menu item disappearing but have not had an actual problem with my (parallel) printer until a few days ago after an update. Seems to me cups has changed in some new way which KDE needs to re-negotiate? |

Anyone else using a parallel port printer?
If so then after you boot up look in /dev. Do you have a lp0 file?
I don't!! |

OK. I'm getting somewhere!!
Typing lsmod in the console reveals that the lp module is not loaded at boot time.
Typing modprobe lp (as root) brings the printer back online. Hooray!
Now I have to find out howto ensure the lp module is loaded at boot time.
Anyone have a quick rundown on auto loading kernel modules before I start googling? |

Is the ongoing print problem associated with the starting point? Mine was 2005-04; is it starting with Easter-RC4 or Cebit that's causing the problems? Or, as just noticed on another thread, is this just a parallel port printer problem?
Not just parallel port: my USB printer does not work. problem seems to be cups or maybe KDE. actually, i have a multifunction scanner/printer and while the printer function does not work and i get cups errors (see my post above) - the scanner function OF THE SAME UNIT (epson cx3200) works fine.
As for starting point: my starting point is Easter-RC2, but I use an older kernel (2.6.15-6-kanotix-1) due to wireless compatibility issues. I dist-upgrade about every day or two. |

I've solved my problem.
I purged cups and reinstalled all packages removed. I am using the new cupsd.conf file.
I turned on debug and looked through the cups error log file. Googling on "LPGETSTATUS returned a port status of 08", I found this forum thread:
http://www.easysw.com/~mike/cups/str.ph ... C0+I0+E0+Q
I couldn't get cups to accept this uri type. So I hand edited printers.conf replacing the "usb://MINOLTA ... blah .. blah" DeviceURI with "file:/dev/usb/lp0".
(Note: only one slash after the "file:") "/dev/usb/lp0" is the location of my USB printer.
I'm not sure why this works but I hope this helps others. |

I still can't print. I tried hubi's suggestion & went to install my printer & get an authorization dialog asking for my username & password & I entered root as username & password & it worked. I still couldn't print until I disabled "Set As Local Default" which is now greyed out. I WAS then able to print a test page, but I still get the message when trying to print with Kate. "An error occurred while retrieving the printer list:
Connection to CUPS server failed. Check that the CUPS server is correctly installed and running. Error: host not found"
Local Parallel Printer

I don't know what else to do. This should be in the News section too, I think. Something's definately screwy about this. |

My hero  The address in my /etc/cups/printer.conf said usb:/dev/usb/lp0. After I replaced "usb" with "file" my printer now works like a charm. Thanks |

hmmm... seems like what you can try is to edit that line to read:

| Well that didn't work. I tried to print with Kate a small document & while no error messages popped up, nothing happened. It just remains in the job list which I remove. It looks as though I'll have to wait for the appropriate dist-upgrade. I'm currently using KDE 3.5.3. I hope a fix for this happens soon. I've tried everything suggested here. Thanks, kurt |

2radical,
FWIW, my parallel Epson Color Stylus 640 is printing again after following hubi's directions. Your printers.conf settings appear to be the same as mine. Even after taking notes, I'm not sure exactly what I did - the printer was still balking until I restarted cupsys
/etc/init.d/cupsys restart
Let me know if there is anything on my system you'd like me to check.
EDIT - whatever I did last night did not survive rebooting. I'm back to no printing on my Kanotix machine. |

After restarting cupsys I received a server-error message when I tried to print
root@WorldsEnd:/home/joyboy# /etc/init.d/cupsys restart
Restarting Common Unix Printing System: cupsd.
A print error occurred. Error message received from system:
cupsdoprint -P 'EpsonC60' -J 'bzpost' -H 'localhost:631' -U 'joyboy' -o ' copies=1 multiple-document-handling=separate-documents-collated-copies orientation-requested=3' '/tmp/kde-joyboy/kdeprint_GD0aXHPm' : execution failed with message:
server-error-service-unavailable
This is crazy. Settings should survive a reboot I would think. I don't know how to fix this |

neal & 2eadical
After reboot do you have a /dev/lp0 file?
I didn't.
So I did "modprobe lp", restarted CIPS and could print OK.
I believe this can be made permanent with "update-modules".
So it should survive a reboot.
I don't know why a /dev/lp0 is not created but the above is a solution |

| It is not created on the fly, while USBLP is also loaded. But one other thing happen than, the printers are found, but never connected to the right printer-queue. may be a fault by Cups or Printer-queue. |

clubex: I did what you suggested twice. The first time didn't work--I had the same server error message trying to print I had been getting. Before trying it the second time, I did "shutdown -r now" THEN tried it again, & now I can print once again. I don't feel like re-booting right now again to see if the changes stuck with the "update-modules" command cause I have stuff I need to get printed, but thanks for the help : } I'm not clear about why I needed to reboot first before entering those commands, but I'm glad it finally worked.
root@WorldsEnd:/home/joyboy# modprobe lp
root@WorldsEnd:/home/joyboy# /etc/init.d/cupsys restart

root@WorldsEnd:/home/joyboy# update-modules

2radical. Glad to be of some help to you.
My system detects my parallel port printer but somehow
doesn't create a /dev/lp0 for it. I don't know why. Perhaps
CUPS isn't teling udev to create /dev/lp0. But I'm just guessing.
I'm on holiday from tomorrow and hopefullly it'll all sorted by the
time I get back. |

I'm still stuck. This is especially annoying because the printer did work for one evening after following hubi's instructions. Then I turned the machine off for the night.
What I have: kanotix 2005-4 dist-upgraded several times a week; Epson Stylus Color 640 on parallel port.
What I have tried:
- Uninstalling/reinstalling the printer - nothing.
- Changing printers.conf line to DeviceURI file:/dev/lp0 didn't work - cups died.
- Creating lp0 with modprobe only added a few new lines to my cups error-log complaining that it could not open /dev/lp0, permission denied.
Maybe the best thing to do is go all the way back and reinstall cups again, follow hubi's directions and take better notes this time? |

Zitat:

I think that's the best course to take. I rarely turn my computer off or reboot. Unlike Windows where I was constantly rebooting for some reason or other. I would apt-get remove --purge cupsys first, then follow clubex & hubi's suggestions. I finally got mine to work this way, although I've been afraid to reboot again to see if the changes stick. |

well, my printer now seems to be working fine, even after several times rebooting, turning printer on/off, etc. I also just updated my kernel to 2.6.17-kanotix-1, but I don't know if that made a difference. here's my printer.conf file:
