Hi all :e
(Sorry if this in the wrong section: I don't know where to post it else).
I'm lost again.
I installed CUPS by following the handbook (including manually adding the relevant *.ppd for the printer, which in itself according to openprinting is 'excellently' supported), and for once everything worked
P). That is to say, except for this fact:
1. On completion I printed a test page, it took extremely long for CUPS to process it, it kept hanging on 51% and when I cancelled the job (via the webinterface) the printer immediately started printing. A very nice print out, nothing wrong with it.
2. I typed something in Kwrite and printed that; printer started immediately and print output was visible/ok.
3. I printed a document with Koffice3 (Koffice4 not available as a package?), the printers control lights (that it receives data) start to blink, the CUPS-webinterface says 'job finished' (kdeprint_EiSwjRJT), the printer stops blinking, no output, the printer is ready to receive the next job (control light).
Huh?
Would anybody happen to have any clue?
This FreeBSD8-release, the printer is an HP Laserjet 6 on parallel port. Under XP (the double boot) everything works perfectly.
I am in your debt for help; thank you in advance
