Would be grateful if someone can solve my Printing problem.
I have Redhat-8; kernel 2.4.28; cups 1.1.17; gimp-print-4.2.7; printer is Lexmark Z42 (inkjet)
I have never succeeded in printing anything. The installation of the printer was straight forward but when, at the end of the installation, I pressed the 'print test page button, no output results but no error message either.I used the KPRINTER wizard to install.
Below are extracts of the cups debug error_log on July 5. pick out lines that I feel are significant:
StartJob: argv = "inkjet","13","root","(stdin)","1","page-bottom=36 cpi=12
16:43:05 +0100] StartJob() id = 13, file = 0/1
16:43:05 job-sheets=none

16:43:07 PID 7806 stopped with status 32!
16:43:07 +0100] CancelJob: id = 13
At present I can only print by moving files to Windows using my ZIP drive!
