Re: [hpoj-devel] Can only print one document

[Scott <gn...@ga...>]

Brendan,
I'm not sure how you've setup CUPS to deal with HPOJ.  I had to create a
whole new configuration for the class and printer so that it would talk
directly to /var/run/ptal-printd/my_printer_pipe_file ..it went
something like this:
usb:/var/run/ptal-printd/usb_psc_1315

while ptal sets up 9 different pipes, I just use the one (not sure of
the use for the others - samba perhaps?) and it works fine.  If that
isn't the problem then perhaps it's something else.. i'm using a
compiled 2.6.7 kernel (i run debian sid/unstable) and so certain
functionality that was required before isn't used anymore as everything
talks through libusb now.  Make sure to check /var/log/syslog
/var/log/daemon.log and /var/log/kern.log (extra redundancy never hurts
:) ) for error messages on the second and subsequent prints.. perhaps
the answer is there.
