From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020513 Description of problem: i upgraded to rh7.3 and now i cannot print out anything other than plain text. my setup: my printer is an epson stylus color 900 sitting on a windows xp box on a machine on the same subnet. the printer works fine for the xp box. i am using the gimp-print driver. it also used to print out bitmaps and other documents requiring ghostscript rendering. but after i upgraded to 7.3, it didn't do anything: just showed job in lpq, as 'done' but that's it. no printout. i removed the printer entry in printconf-gui and re-installed with same parameters, and it works *slightly* better: now the printer on the remote xp box *does* start, but what it does is chunk out tons of blank pieces of paper (for the Test Letter Postscript page in printconf-gui). it does, however, print out a test ASCII text page for the linux box, from printconf-gui, perfectly fine, *if* i de-select the default option of 'render text as postscript' in the Driver Options tab. i have tried the omni-print driver, as well, and it sends a bunch of blank pages out the printer, too, *although* one of them does have a *piece* of the printout, but it is a bit warbled.

also, the print jobs seem to 'hang around' in the lp queue.. here is a printout of lpq: [root@vp184136 root]# lpq Printer: lp0@vp184136 Queue: no printable jobs in queue Server: no server active Status: job 'root@vp184136+184' saved at 07:02:35.436 Rank Owner/ID Class Job Files Size Time done root@vp184136+155 A 155 it 123 07:01:26 done root@vp184136+184 A 184 it 123 07:02:35 [root@vp184136 root]#
I'm having the same problem after upgrading from 7.0 to 7.3. I can print test pages from the printtool, but lp/lpr do nothing even though lpq suggests that the job has been completed.
I'm experiencing a similiar failure with an HP855Cse after scratch installing 7.3. I had no problems under 7.2, apparently using the cdj850 driver. Now, I see jibberish at the top of a page and then many blank pages generated. This happens when I attempt using printtool test too. The gimp driver is silent for me too...
(Moving to the correct component.)
If you reconfigure the queue (remove it and add in again), does that make the problem go away? That driver changed name.
We no longer ship LPRng.
