This printer has worked and stopped or it never printed?<br>
<br>
Having set up and had printers fail on systems time and time again
first see if you can confirm that the printer is working.<br>
I have a server with -gt 50 printers configured in it. <br>
When I am told an application fails to print. I have a short look
around and then ask out printer admin to confirm the printer prints!<br>
<br>
Often the printer is at fault not the config.<br>
<br>
Do you have the proper PPD in place for the printer?<br>
<br>
OR ...<br>
Did you check the /etc/host file ... it looks like<br>
<br>
127.0.0.1 localhost <br>
123.456.789.99 hostname.domainname.ext hostname
loghost<br>
123.456.789.101 PRINTERNAME<br>
<br>
<br>
lpadmin -p <printer name> -v lpd://<printer IP< -P
/etc/cups/ppd/ps-ppd-file -L "NA" -D "NA" -E<br>
<br>
And put that output into a ppd file with the printer name in
/etc/cups/ppd<br>
<br>
<br>
lpadmin -p <printer name> -v lpd://<printer IP< -P
/etc/cups/ppd/ps-ppd-file -L "NA" -D "NA" -E >
/etc/cups/ppd/<printer name>.ppd<br>
<br>
<br>
...AT LEAST that is how I have set them up.<br>
<br>
