The printing situation on the server/workstation has deteriorated. Today I
was not able to print a .pdf from the command line with lpr, nor from within
xpdf or acroread. The response was 'lpr: Bad Request'. Same response for
both physical printers.
I can ping the printers and printing a test page from the CUPS
administrative page (localhost:631) works. Yesterday I printed A/P checks
from my accounting software.
Running lpr with strace I get this at the end of the file (full file
available for examination by anyone willing to help):
send(4, "\1\1@\1\0\0\0\1\1G\0\22attributes-charset\0\5u"..., 639, 0) = 639
poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}], 1, 1000) = 1 ([{fd=4,
revents=POLLIN|POLLERR|POLLHUP}])
recv(4, "HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request\r\nDate: F"..., 2048, 0) = 555
... # time commands deleted
write(2, "lpr: Error - scheduler not respon"..., 39lpr: Error - scheduler
not responding!
) = 39
I stopped and started CUPS and can print a test page so what might be
causing the bad request and scheduler not responding errors? Is there a test
I can run to identify the source of the problem?
TIA,
Rich
