[hani270]

hello

we have workgroup network in the home, and the printer "hp laserjet p1005" connected at the server (OS : windows server 2003) and I am connected to the Internet by the server without problems.

but when i want to print any file, it remains in (processing) and no print.
it's picture for this problem :


sorry for bad english!

looks like it cant find the lp path: install xpp, it might help

found this issue:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...er/+bug/372407

maybe something to check there

[hani270]

i have installed xxp, but nothing is new.
i am beginner and your answer is not clear.

thanks dino.

what is the output of:

sudo gedit /etc/modules

other question:
is your system having only 1 lp or several (maybe lp0 is wrong, try lp1, or else, check your devices)

another silly question:
is your printer ready to print ? (power on, paper ok, cartrige ok, no standby, etc)

[hani270]

this is "/etc/modules" content :

# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded
# at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored.

lp

i have one printer, and when i change lp0 to lp1, i see "not connected" !!
(my printer is ready)..

is foo2zjs is installed (might be: sudo apt-get install foo2zjs)

then run:

cat /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1005.dl > /dev/usb/lp0

I may be off target here but doesn't the location parellel:/dev/lp0 signify a printer that is connected directly to your computers parallel port rather than via a network? I would suggest you remove it, then go through the add printer wizard and select a networked printer.

It may also help if you check on one of your other machines as to how they describe the location of the printer. It may comprise a location (eg your network name/location) or an IP address.
