Description of problem: I have a locally connected USB HP-PSC-1210 printer that is working ok for print jobs from the local host, but which fails when I try to print to it via CUPs from a remote machine. On the local machine: /var/log/messages contains: Aug 21 09:54:45 ontap hpiod: unable to read uri:hp:/usb/psc_1200_series?device=/dev/usb/lp0 Device::DeviceID: No such device lpq shows: psc-1200-series--1 is ready no entries Document print status from the gnome printer applet shows only unreleated completed jobs. On the remote machine: /var/log/messages contains nothing relevant. lpq shows: psc-1200-series--1 is ready no entries Document print status from the gnome printer applet shows the failed print jobs as stuck with a "Sending" status. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): hplip-0.9.4-3 cups-1.1.23-16 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.try to print anything from ermote machine to shared printer 2. 3. Actual results: Accepts jobs, then nothing. Jobs gets stuck with "sending" status. Expected results: Working printing system. More informative error messages to the user. Additional info:
How have you configured this queue?
On the "server" (the machine with the printer) from Desktop->SystemSettings->Printer as a shared printer. On the "client" I set printer in the "Browsed Queues" to be the default printer. Can do much more right now as I'm getting: root@ontap:~# service cups restart Stopping cups: [ OK ] Starting cups: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/printconf-backend", line 7, in ? import backend File "/usr/share/printconf/util/backend.py", line 42, in ? import rhpl.ethtool ImportError: /usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/rhpl/ethtool.so: undefined symbol: iw_pr_ether [ OK ]
Presumably this works now? It certainly works for me..
