Description wilhelmgallegos 2008-05-02 01:30:42 UTC

Version:           0.1 (using 3.5.7 "release 72.6" , openSUSE 10.3)
Compiler:          Target: i586-suse-linux
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.22.17-0.1-default

I am new to Linux, so please be patient.
I have installed an HP840C printer by using the GUI interface of the YaST2 Control Center, then the printer has been detected automatically (though the driver of an HP842C has been assigned) and everything works fine. Then I try to print a job in Open Office and everything is still fine.

The problem is that, when I restart the computer, it is not possible to print something out again... When checking the status of the job in the KjobViewer an state of error appears.  

Then, if I start the Control Center, the printer is listed there as:

Queue name    Device   Model       Default Queue
deskjet840C  dev/lp0   deskjet842C Default

When selected such entry and pressing the Edit button, and then pressing the Test button, a test page is printed correctly. Then, if I go and try to print something else, then printing is successful.

However, when I restart the computer the problem persists.

Thanks for your attention.

You should check the error log of cups. Check the /var/log/cups/error_log file for more informations about the error.

Comment 2 wilhelmgallegos 2008-05-15 04:46:09 UTC

Thanks for your answer. I've had a look at cup's log error file, but yet do not know what can I do to solve the problem, so I am stuck in a vicious circle that I describe in the following lines, where, together with particular actions taken by the user (in YaST), the reflected changes in the cups log file are transcribed. 

I thank you very much again for your patience and help.

Regards.

Let me take the following starting point (cups error log file), when I try to print (with no success):

I [14/May/2008:17:32:54 +0100] Adding start banner page "none" to job 23.
I [14/May/2008:17:32:54 +0100] Adding end banner page "none" to job 23.
I [14/May/2008:17:32:54 +0100] Job 23 queued on "deskjet840c" by "guillo".

Then I select the job in Kviewer and try to move it to printer:
E [14/May/2008:17:38:23 +0100] CUPS-Move-Job: Unauthorized
E [14/May/2008:17:38:33 +0100] CUPS-Move-Job: Unauthorized
E [14/May/2008:17:38:33 +0100] CUPS-Move-Job: Unauthorized

After that I cancel the job:
I [14/May/2008:17:39:56 +0100] Job 23 was canceled by "guillo".

In the meantime: lpstat -p -d   gives:
printer deskjet840c disabled since Wed May 14 13:14:28 2008 -
        /usr/lib/cups/backend/parallel failed
system default destination: deskjet840c

Then I go to YAST2.- Printer configuration.- then select the printer .-  then press Edit button.- then press Test.- Nothing is printed. And cups log generates:

Then I go to YAST2.- hardware.- printer:

Then I try to print (with no success):

I [14/May/2008:19:25:19 +0100] Job 31 queued on "deskjet840c" by "guillo".

Then I remove job from queue (using Kviewer). Then, when trying to print out again GO BACK TO START.

Closing due to age and not an issue with KDEPrint.  Recommend contacting openSUSE forum or mailing list for further help if needed.
