Description of problem: Attempting to print on an HP LJ 1100 (driver LaserJet 1100 Foomatic/hpijs), returns the subject line error. The printer settings are all correct. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cups-1.2.4-11.5.1.el5 hpijs-1.6.7-4.1.el5 How reproducible: Every time Additional info: http://groups.google.fi/group/linux.debian.bugs.dist/browse_thread/thread/d424197640262536/21b5ff70e85b3120?lnk=st&q=cups+%22printmode+mismatch+with+pen%2C+tray%2C+etc.%22&rnum=3#21b5ff70e85b3120
This fixed the problem: Setting LJ-1100 device-uri to "parallel:/dev/lp0" (was "hp:/par/HP_LaserJet_1100?device=/dev/parport0".)
Seems like an HPLIP problem of some sort. Please set up a queue using the original 'hp:/...' device URI and perform the following steps to obtain full debugging output: 1. Edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and edit the 'LogLevel' line to read: LogLevel debug2 2. Stop CUPS: /sbin/service cups stop 3. Clear out the error_log file: >/var/log/cups/error_log 4. Start CUPS: /sbin/service cups start 5. Now submit a print job. When it fails, please attach the /var/log/cups/error_log file as an attachment to this bug report. Thanks. (Afterwards, you can reset the 'LogLevel' line in your /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file back to what it was, probably 'LogLevel info')
I no longer have access to that computer, but I will ask its owner to do this. It might take a few days.
Any news?
Euhm, no. In fact, I got no feedback back then and by now I have forgotten whose printer that was. Sorry.
OK, closing.
