Hello,
I am trying to get my printer to work with OpenBSD. I am running 3.7
STABLE. I have installed cups 1.1.23p2 from the pkg directory, compiled and
installed the latest gimp-print from sourceforge and installed ghostscript
7.05p5.
The computer recognizes the printer as ulpt0. I have started the cupsd
from which I get a few errors different each time. One is that /dev/lpt0 is
out of paper another is Child exited with status 48! and a third which I
escapes me at this time. After starting the cupsd there is a long pause
followed by some noise from the printer and then the error.
I have set up the printer via localhost:631. I have added my printer as
device at usb:/dev/ulpt0 and selected a Gimp-Print driver for Epson Stylus
Photo 820, of which there are list of many for my printer all the same name.
When I try to configure the printer via localhost:631 I get error
server-error-internal-error.
I have tried printing a test page which results in Test Page sent; Job ID
is X. However, when I look at jobs they all show cancelled. This also
happens when I print at the console.
/var/log/cups/error_log shows:
Job 21 queued on 'Epson' by 'root'.
Unable to convert file 0 to printable form for job 21!
Hint: Do you have ESP Ghostscript installed?
Hint: Try setting the LogLevel to "debug".
I have also tried downloading the source for the latest ESP Ghostscript
and compiling it with an error code at the end of make.
Am I using the wrong versions of software together? or what? Any help
greatly appreciated.
Jeff
