Bug 120207

What printing system?

Dear Mr. Tibirna,

The answer to your question concerning the printing system is CUPS.

Kind regards,

the number of processes as visible in Krellm gradually
triple when I disconnect the printer, not giving cups a chance to send  a
printing signal. the loop still persists and i am unable to print anything
else.

Also printmanger (print/-Konqueror) doesn't work after opening it and is very 
slow in loading + none of the menubuttons work.

I hope this is of help in solving the problem, as I haven't been able to print 
for more than a week now.

Kind regards,

Estelle Eestermans

Your bug report puzzles me. I guess this is a case of very badly screwed 
installation: driver mismatch, network misconfiguration etc. It is also an 
unique report, nobody else seems to have encountered such behavior yet.

I'm not at all sure I will be able to help but anyways, please give me answers 
to the following:

- how is the printer connected to the computer?
- do you know what drivers are used by mandrake for your printer? (i.e. is it 
HPIJS or HPLIP?) And by the way, did you do anything special to configure 
that printer?
- the job that gets repeated is printed correctly?
- can you try to create a new printer queue (no need to delete the current 
one) and see if the behavior is reproduced?

For now, that's it. I will ask more perhaps once I have your answers.

Thanks

No response from reporter since nearly a year...

Closing bug as INVALID.

Dear, Kurt,

System has crashed and needs to be completely rebuild. I'm now working on a 
different platform, until I have good new system configured.

So problem is not solved and I have no solution it yet. How can I print 
locally and not via network in KDE? I have tried to do this offline but then 
KDE refuses to print.

Kind regards,

Estelle Eestermans

Estelle,

I guess this means we've to wait until your system is re-built? Heh, possibly you'll get handed over a new shiny system that prints perfectly out of the box... :-)

In any case, you are invited to mail the list "<kde-print@kde.org> (Users and developers of KDEPrint)" for help with your system if the problem is KDEPrint related. No need to open a bug report initially. 

If the problem is more low level ("CUPS", the low level print system, on which KDEPrint bases itself, does not work properly), it's probably better to ask for help on one of the forums here:

  * http://forums.freestandards.org/list.php?19
  * http://www.cups.org/newsgroups.php?gcups.general

I'm hanging out there as well quite frequently. Just tell us what Linux version you run, and what the name of your printer model is and we surely can help you. 

Cheers,
good luck,
Kurt

Hi Kurt,

Thanks for your suport so far. I'll keep you posted on new developments. 
thanks also for the forum tip.

Kind regards,

Estelle Eestermans
