Hi Ante,
I've done what you suggested:
a) sudo dpkg --purge hplip-base
=> The system told me there was nothing to remove for hplip-base
wasn't installed.
b) sudo apt-get --reinstall install hplip
=> no problem; operation ran smoothly
c) sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart
=> idem
Then I went used the Printer Admin program (gnome-cups-manager), removed
the existing printer (my Lexmark Z12) then rebooted the PC.
When done, I used the tool again to re-create a new printer and put the
following data:
Screen 1: Printer connection: Printer type: local printer + use detected
printer (Lexmark Z12)
Screen 2: Printer driver: Manufacturer: Lexmark, Model: Z12, Driver:
lxm3200-tweaked (recommended drv)
Screen 3: Printer information: Name: "Z12", Description: "Lexmark Z12
ink jet printer", Location: "Server"
I applied and tried to print a test page (right click on printer icon,
select properties, then click on button "Print a test page").
Before doing so, I checked the printer's properties; everything seemed
to be right and matched the settings I entered previously !
The test page did not print and after a while on the General tab of the
properties of the printer, instead of the status "Ready", I could see
"Printing:Printer fault!"
It does the same when I try to print another document (printers.conf
from Gedit, for instance), the same happens.
Here is my printers.conf:
# Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.2.0
# Written by cupsd on 2006-06-15 22:09
<Printer Z12>

QuotaPeriod 0

ErrorPolicy stop-printer
</Printer>
In the cups error log (/var/log/cups/error_log), I can read the
following (repeats itself):
W [<timestamp>] [Job #number] Printer fault!
E [<timestamp>] cupsdAuthorize: Local authentification certificate not
found !
E [<timestamp>] cupsdAuthorize: Local authentification certificate not
found !
E [<timestamp>] cupsdAuthorize: Local authentification certificate not
found !
E [<timestamp>] cupsdAuthorize: Local authentification certificate not
found !
... and so on...
Any ideas about what could still be blocking ? Could it solely be a
security problem ? (that certificate stuff ?)
Thanks for your help so far,
Cheers,
Manuel
