This message originates in CUPS. I've seen it too actually. USB printer? Now that I look this seems to be due to the kernel: backend/usb.c:237: if (ioctl(fd, LPGETSTATUS, &status) == 0) { fprintf(stderr, "DEBUG: LPGETSTATUS returned a port status of %02X...\n", status); if (status & LP_NOPA) fputs("WARNING: Media tray empty!\n", stderr); else if (status & LP_ERR) fputs("WARNING: Printer fault!\n", stderr); else if (status & LP_OFFL) fputs("WARNING: Printer off-line.\n", stderr); } So perhaps the kernel is returning the wrong values? I've seen this message with a USB-connected HP DeskJet 990C. What printer are you using, and with what connection? I am using a Lexmark Z53 connected via an Atmel 4-port USB hub. Default kernel is kernel-2.4.20-2.48 and I am currently logged in using kernel-2.4.20-2.54. The problem occurs with either kernel. I keep switching between these kernels due to ongoing problems with CD burning. Think this might be fixed in CUPS 1.1.19. now the Printer Configuration app (print manager) just hangs with the message: "Loading printer information, Please wait..." (and wait, and wait, and *wait*.....). I'm forced to kill the print manager session. This happens either when loading _during_ a print job, or without any print job in the queue. kernel-2.4.20-9.athlon.rpm in now the default, with the following package versions cups-1.1.19-0.rc5.3.i386.rpm cups-libs-1.1.19-0.rc5.3.i386.rpm printman-0.0.1-0.20021202.14.i386.rpm What version of redhat-config-printer? Run it from the command line. I did a clean reinstall of the sytem, and print configuration works ok now with redhat-config-printer-0.6.47-1, cups-libs-1.1.17-13, cups-1.1.17-13. The sluggishness may have been caused by other packages that I had installed from rawhide. (...sorry about that!). |
