[hpoj-devel] troubles with PSC 1300 series

[David V. <dav...@sb...>]

I have a PSC 1350 that I can't get working. I have tried deleting the 
installation several times and starting over from scratch for this. 
Everything seems to setup fine, and it recognizes that the printer is there 
and KDE, cups, and yast are all able to tell me that they see the printer. 
However, when I try to print it just sits at the processing stage forever and 
never prints. From the command line is says that connecting to the device 
failed.

linux:/home/root # ptal-device
mlc:usb:psc_1300_series

linux:/home/root # ptal-print `ptal-device`
ptal-print: connecting to device "mlc:usb:psc_1300_series"... failed!

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions. Thanks

David

I had a lot of problems with an HPOJ 4110 and my problems were resolved 
by running the 0.91 driver (my distro only had the 0.90 driver on the 
CD).  After installing the driver, I ran the "Testing basic device 
connectivity" section of Setting up basic device connectivity 
<http://hpoj.sourceforge.net/hpoj-0.91/doc/setup-connect.html>.  This 
verified the functional aspect of the USB --> printer connection.  
Contrary to what the HPOJ doc recommended, I used the Mandrake printer 
setup tool instead of the CUPS WWW tool to setup my printer queues.  
Every time I used the CUPS tool, I got zip, nothing.  I found myself 
completely confused as to what needed to be done with CUPS WWW to setup 
the printer, the printer drake made it easy.

BTW, the printers have been installed and running fine for about 4 
months now.  Prior to that, they would run a few days and mysteriously 
go offline!

I'm getting nearly the same thing as David with my PSC1210

with localhost:631 psc1200, printer state processing, accepting jobs
	print test page:  "Could not connect to remote server 
		http://bruce:631/printers/psc1200?op=print-test-page"
	
	ptal-init setup     	currently defined mlc:usb:pcs_1200_series
	ptal-init status    	ptal-init has been started
	ptal-init start	    	stopping the driver
				starting the driver
				mlc:usb:pcs_1200_series
	lpr goodmen	no response
	ptal-connect mlc:usb:pcs_1200_series print
			unable to open device "print"

ptal-cups start or ptal-cups stop causes
	ptal-connect connecting to device "mlc:usb:pcs_1200_series" ... Which stays 		  
for more than 20 minutes.

bruce, david,

I initially had difficulty due to some conflict with printer.o (with my
PSC 1350).  After I got the latest bits and built it myself, this
conflict is resolved.  Prior to doing that, I had to:
ptal-init stop
stop cups (/etc/init.d/cupsys stop)
rmmod printer
restart cups
restart ptal-init

Then I could print.  Try the latest bits though first if you haven't
(and I'd suggest build it yourself instead of using pre-packaged
bits--that's more likely to reflect your current configuration.)

YMMV,

I'm running RH-9 and /etc/init.d/cupsys  does not exist, so this didn't work.  
No cupsys on the system.  /usr/sbin/cupsd stop didn't work  ("unknown 
argument").

I don't have any idea what "bits" are or what this means.

On RH should be /etc/init.d/cupsd

bits in the case is either the latest RPM or download and build the
latest CVS source from hpoj.sf.net
