Common Linux problems

Common Macintosh problems

CONDITION

SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS

The machine does

not print.

•

Check if the printer driver is installed in your

system. Open Unified Driver Configurator
and switch to the Printers tab in Printers

configuration window to look at the list of

available printers. Make sure that your
machine is displayed on the list. If not,

please, invoke Add new printer wizard to set

up your device.

•

Check if the printer is started. Open Printers

configuration and select your machine on the

printers list. Look at the description in the
Selected printer pane. If its status contains

“(stopped)” string, please, press the

Start

button. After that normal operation of the
printer should be restored. The "stopped"

status might be activated when some

problems in printing occurred.

•

Check if your application has special print

option such as “-oraw”. If “-oraw” is specified

in the command line parameter then remove
it to print properly. For Gimp front-end, select

“print” -> “Setup printer” and edit command

line parameter in the command item.

Some color images

come out all black.

This is a known bug in Ghostscript (until GNU

Ghostscript version 7.05) when the base color

space of the document is indexed color space

and it is converted through CIE color space.

Because Postscript uses CIE color space for

Color Matching System, you should upgrade

Ghostscript on your system to at least GNU

Ghostscript version 7.06 or later. You can find

recent Ghostscript versions at

www.ghostscript.com.

Some color images

come out in
unexpected color.

This is a known bug in Ghostscript (until GNU

Ghostscript version 7.xx) when the base color

space of the document is indexed RGB color

space and it is converted through CIE color

space. Because Postscript uses CIE color

space for Color Matching System, you should

upgrade Ghostscript on your system to at least

GNU Ghostscript version 8.xx or later. You can

find recent Ghostscript versions at

www.ghostscript.com.

The machine does
not print whole pages

and its output is half

page printed.

It is a known problem that occurs when a color

printer is used on version 8.51 or earlier of

Ghostscript, 64-bit Linux OS, and reported to

bugs.ghostscript.com as Ghostscript Bug

688252.
The problem is solved in AFPL Ghostscript v.

8.52 or above. Download the latest version of

AFPL Ghostscript from http://sourceforge.net/

projects/ghostscript/ and install it to solve this

problem.

I encounter error
“Unable to open mfp

port device file!”

when printing a
document.

Please avoid changing print job parameters (via

LPR GUI, for example) while a print job is in

progress. Known versions of CUPS server

break the print job whenever print options are

changed and then try to restart the job from the

beginning. Since Unified Linux Driver locks mfp

port while printing, the abrupt termination of the

driver keeps the port locked and therefore

unavailable for subsequent print jobs. If this

situation occurred, please, try to release the

mfp port.

When printing a

document over the

network in SuSE 9.2,
the printer does not

print.

The CUPS (Common Unix Printing System)

version distributed with SuSE Linux 9.2

(cups-1.1.21) has a problem with ipp

(Internet Printing Protocol) printing. Use the

socket printing instead of ipp or install later

version of CUPS (cups-1.1.22 or higher).

Refer to Linux User’s Guide that came with your computer for further

information on Linux error messages.

CONDITION

SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS

The printer does not

print PDF file correctly.
Some parts of graphics,

text, or illustrations are

missing.

Incompatibility between the PDF file and

the Acrobat products:

Printing the PDF file as an image may

solve this problem. Turn on

Print As

Image

from the Acrobat printing options.

It will take longer to print when
you print a PDF file as an image.

The document has
printed, but the print job

has not disappeared

from the spooler in Mac
OS 10.3.2.

Update your Mac OS to OS 10.3.3. or

higher.

Some letters are not

displayed normally
during the Cover page

printing.

This problem is caused because Mac OS

cannot create the font during the Cover

page printing. English alphabet and

numbers are displayed normally at the

Cover page.

Refer to Mac OS User’s Guide that came with your computer for
further information on Mac OS error messages.
