Does /var/log/cups/error_log show anything interesting about it?

Comment 2 antonio montagnani 2006-10-01 10:00:28 UTC
I am trying to print also a PDF file and I get same problems: from error_log I
find. Also same probelms with a Openoffice document (also small).Everything
worked, and CUPS test page is o.k.

Comment 3 antonio montagnani 2006-10-01 10:18:32 UTC
Acrobat works if file is small: I successfully printed a 700 kb file, no way to
print a 11MB file.Very embarassing situation, take in account that most
documentation is PDF

Comment 4 antonio montagnani 2006-10-01 12:00:10 UTC
Same problem with Openoffice writer.
Small documents are o.k. but no way of printing large documents
My printer is a Samsung ML -1610 laser with gdi driver

Comment 5 Tim Waugh 2006-10-01 12:08:47 UTC
The error_log snippet provided in comment #2 doesn't show any errors at all, or
even warnings.  Are there none shown in error_log when the problem happens?

Please provide an example document or image that does not print.  Thanks.

Comment 8 Tim Waugh 2006-10-01 12:31:44 UTC
Aha, now we're getting somewhere.  Can you please now edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
so that the LogLevel line reads:

LogLevel debug2

Then restart cups with '/sbin/service cups restart'.  Now you should get more
debug information shown in error_log, which would be very interesting to see.

Cups error_log

Done. restarted cups and tried to print a document....

Comment 10 Tim Waugh 2006-12-12 14:43:42 UTC
So, job 274 printed successfully by the look of it.  Can you get a log from an
unsucessful print?
