Created attachment 38984 [details] log of the printer queue
What model of printer is this? Does this work (as root)?: cat /etc/fstab > /dev/lp0 (I'm assuming this is a parallel port printer plugged into the motherboard's builtin port.) Could you attach /etc/alchemist/namespace/printconf/local.adl please?
The printer is a HP Photosmart 1218 connected via the USB port. The printer did suddenly started working in Linux again a week later. And had no problems since. Not attached the requested file as i suspect it would be of no benefit now the printer seems to be working agian.
Okay, closing. Wonder what that was about.
