Some pages come
out all white (nothing is printed), and
I am using CUPS.
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.
I can't print to an SMB (Windows) printer .
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.
My application seems to
be frozen while LLPR is running.
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.
How do I specify the IP
address of my SMB server?
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 documents come out
as white pages when printing.
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. Try upgrading to the
latest version of CUPS (at least 1.1.14). Some RPM
packages for the most popular distributions are
provided as a convenience with this Linux Printing
Package.
