I recently upgraded to 8.1 from 8.0. My HP Deskjet 970Cse has always worked until I upgraded. When I try to send a test page to the printer, nothing happens! Here is the relevant part of my /var/log/cups/error_log is:
I [18/Jan/2002:14:48:11 -0500] Started filter /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstops (PID 3613) for job 40. I [18/Jan/2002:14:48:11 -0500] Started filter /usr/lib/cups/filter/cupsomatic (PID 3614) for job 40. I [18/Jan/2002:14:48:11 -0500] Started backend /usr/lib/cups/backend/parallel (PID 3615) for job 40. E [18/Jan/2002:14:48:12 -0500] PID 3614 stopped with status 32! I do know the printer does work because I can pipe text to /dev/lp0 and it will print. Anyone have any idea what is going on? Why would it stop working in 8.1? Neither DrakX installer printer configuration nor the HardDrake printer config would make it work. I tried LPRng and PDQ, but they do not seem to work either. I am not sure where to look for error files though.. Might this have something to do with my parallel port? Any help would be greatly appreciated! David Savolainen
