I can't make a printer the system default. 6. 9 Solving Problems Problem I am using BSD lpr (Slackware, Debian, older distributions) and some options chosen in LLPR don't seem to take effect. Possible Cause and Solution Legacy BSD lpr systems have a hard limitation on the length of the option string that can be passed to the printing system. As such, if you selected a number of different options, you may have exceeded the length of the options and some of your choices won't be passed to the programs responsible for implementing them. Try to select fewer options that deviate from the defaults, to save on memory usage. Most Unix applications that offer a Landscape orientation option in their printing options will generate correct PostScript code that should be printed as is. In that case, you need to make sure that you leave the LLPR option set to its default Portrait setting, to avoid unwanted rotations of the page that would result in cropped output. If the data being sent is in Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) format, some earlier versions of CUPS (1. 1. 10 and before) have a bug preventing them from being processed correctly. When going through LLPR to print, the Printer Package will work around this issue by converting the data to regular PostScript. However, if your application bypasses LLPR and feeds EPS data to CUPS, the document may not print correctly. To be able to configure and use SMB-shared printers (such as printers shared on a Windows printer), you need to have a correct installation of the SAMBA package that enables that feature. The "smbclient" command should be available and usable on your system. Most Unix applications will expect a command like the regular "lpr" command to be non-interactive and thus return immediately. Since LLPR is waiting for user input before passing the job on to the print spooler, very often the application will wait for the process to return, and thus will appear to be frozen (its windows won't refresh). This is normal and the application should resume functioning correctly after the user exits LLPR. It can be specified in the "Add Printer" dialogue of the configuration tool, if you don't use the CUPS printing system. Unfortunately, CUPS currently doesn't allow you to specify the IP address of SMB printers, so you will have to be able to browse the resource with SAMBA in order to be able to print. Some versions of CUPS, especially those shipped with Mandrake Linux before the 8. 1 release, have some known bugs when processing PostScript output from some applications. Some RPM packages for the most popular distributions are provided as a convenience with this Linux Printing Package. Problem I have CUPS and some options (such as Nup) seem to be always enabled even though I don't choose them in LLPR. I configured a printer to print to a file, but I get "Permission denied" errors. On my PCL (or GDI) printer, I sometimes get error messages printing instead of my document. Possible Cause and Solution There may be some local options defined in your ~/ . lpoptions file, which are manipulated by the lpoptions command. To get rid of all options for a printer, run the following command, replacing "printer" with the name of the queue: lpoptions -x printer Most printing systems will not run as the super-user but as a special user (usually "lp"). Therefore, make sure that the file you have chosen to print to is accessible to the user owning the spooler daemon. Unfortunately, some Unix applications may generate non-compliant PostScript output that may not be supported by Ghostscript, or even the printer itself in PostScript mode. [. . . ] Your printer appears on the Printer List, and is set as the default printer. For a Network-connected Macintosh NOTE: Some printers do not support a network interface. Before connecting your printer, make sure that your printer supports a network interface by referring to Printer Specifications in your Printer User's Guide. 1 2 3 4 5 Follow the instructions on "Installing Software for Macintosh" on page 32 to install the PPD and Filter files on your computer. WHEN PRINTING A DOCUMENT CONTAINING MANY PAGES, PRINTING PERFORMANCE MAY BE ENHANCED BY CHOOSING SOCKET FOR PRINTER TYPE OPTION. 6 7 8 9 10 Your printer's IP address appears on the Printer List, and is set as the default printer. Enter the printer's IP address in the Printer Address field. If you cannot determine the queue name for your printer server, try using the default queue first. Click Add. 33 Using Your Printer with a Macintosh Printing NOTES: · The Macintosh printer's properties window that appears in this User's Guide may differ depending on the printer in use. [. . . ]
