I am having a difficult time getting my printer to work on Etch with CUPS 1.2.7. When I print a page from Openoffice the printer responds, but prints a line of meaningless symbols. Another strange thing is that When I try to print a test page from CUPS setup program at http://localhost:631/, I just get a message "Quota limit reached".
My printer is an HP Deskpro 500, and the computer has a Asus p5b main board and Intel E6300 processor. The printer and wiring are fine, since I can print without problems on the same computer when I boot into mandriva-2007, which I have also installed on the harddrive. That distribution uses CUPS 1.2.4. and is setup with HPDeskjet 500 Foomatic/pcl3 (recommended), on parallel:/dev/lp0. These same settings do not work for me in Etch, nor do the other 3 types of drivers I found in the CUPS setup program. I'm working my way through this site, trying to identify the problem. http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting I am wondering if there is something obvious I am missing or doing wrong here? I realize Etch is a testing version of Debian, so could there be some sort of bug? Thanks for your help. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
