Hi rickrich,

i'm runnin gentoo (gentoox its an xbox1). And i tried what you told the other one. After all the foo2zjs-wrapper testpage worked! But, when i want to print the cups testpage it doesnt. You've got any idea what this could be?

$ locate foomatic-rip

Sorry, been having problems with installing locate/slocate and updating the db caused errors.

So this entry is missing with me: "/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip"

I found something bout that in bugzilla: http://bugs.gentoo.org/144849, but they discuss and tell that its not necessary to be created. Ill be searching on!

Found something different: From the cups error logfile

Set the URI in CUPS to be:

usb:/dev/usb/lp0

When I installed the printer I did this like usb:/dev/usb/lp0
in the /etc/cups/cupsd.conf there I cant change something like that. Is there another part of cups i should read through?
When i access via localhost cups, i see the printer, it is with foo2zjs driver but it doesnt print the testpage: this time the error "/usr/libexec/cups/filter/foomatic-rip failed" occurred. The first time this happened. Maybe i need some other packages of foomatic. I really dont know. Maybe you can help me. Ive seen in another thread that you recommended setting the LogLevel to debug, to check the logfiles. Isnt in my config the loglevel debug on? its not commented out. Okay im sorry. just my cupsd.conf, maybe you see something i dont see.

thx!

Another error ive hab was application vnd.cups-command. Okay hope thats not too much information!

Happy new year!

Try changing DeviceURI in /etc/cups/printers.conf to:

DeviceURI file:///dev/usb/lp0

and /etc/cups/cupsd.conf to:

FileDevice Yes

Then, restart CUPS (e.g. cd foo2zjs; sudo make cups).

This is NOT my problem... it is a CUPS problem.

Now ive got this error:

"/usr/libexec/cups/filter/foomatic-rip failed"

I checked my installation of foomatic, maybe theres also a problem...Yea, maybe also with CUPS. Have to read me more into cups and printing under linux (using gentoo), seems not too easy to set up, unfortunately! Youre right, its not your problem, i have to solve it.

Thanks a lot!

Hi rickrich,

we talked in another thread, were you also told me, that it is a cups problem. So i looked for the cups error log to show you.

What if the problem is only that cups is always in that debug mode (i didnt need to change this setting).

Ciao, Fil

Since foo2zjs-wrapper works and CUPS doesn't work, the problem is with CUPS. I don't read CUPS error logs. Check with your distro.
