Printer troubleshooting tool output

Description of problem:

I was printing a few documents on my Brother MFC-9330CDW printer.

The first printed fine, but then the low toner message appeared on the printer and cups refused to print any more documents.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get low on toner
2. Try to print
3.

Actual results: Print job goes to 'pending - toner low'


Expected results: Print job succeeds until toner is out.


Additional info: I've attached the troubleshooting tool output.

The printer works fine from another OS, so this seems to be a CUPS limitation/restriction.

The troubleshooting tool output lacks cupsd log due to bug #1293930, could you obtain it manually by following

thanks

Unfortunately its not doing it any more, even when I try to print the same document.

However, I did turn the debug logs on when I was looking at this yesterday so there may still be soemthing. There are only 1000 lines in the 'journalctl -u cups -e' output - is there a way to get more lines?

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Hi Bradley,

you can set ErrorLog to /var/log/cups/error_log in /etc/cups/cups-files.conf, so you can get more info (and if you set LogLevel to debug2 in cupsd.conf). Are you still experiencing this issue?

I didn't manage to reproduce this; must be transient.
