<font size="-1"><font face="Tahoma">My goal is to just setup a couple
of HP LaserJets on my linux server with CUPS. I had some success
previously, but at the moment, I am running into walls.<br>
<br>
The Printers:<br>
1 HP LaserJet 2200 - a network printer on a windows 2000 pro
workstation.<br>
1 HP LaserJet 2100 - a network printer on a windows 2000 server<br>
<br>
The Linux Box:<br>
Slackware 9.0<br>
Kernel 2.4.20<br>
CUPS 1.2.1<br>
The HP2200 is setup to use the PPD from linuxprinting.org [
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-LaserJet_2200">http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-LaserJet_2200</a>
]<br>
The HP2100 is using another driver from the same site [
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-LaserJet_2100">http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-LaserJet_2100</a>
]<br>
<br>
Setting up the printers through the CUPS web interface was not a
problem. I set them up as samba printers and all is well with that.
They are both detected "idle, accepting jobs, published. " That is
pretty much where my success ends. When I try to print a test page to
the 2200, which is the one next to me, I get "Unknown operation
"print-test-page"!" <br>
<br>
Up until the start of this week, I was using CUPS 1.1.23 with limited
success. The HP2200 worked fine, but the 2100 wouldnt print anything.
A test page would print one or two lines and then countless blank pages
until I canceled the job.<br>
<br>
I was hoping upgrading would fix the issue, but it has actually set me
back, in that neither printer will print now.<br>
<br>
>From the server "lp -d HP2200 file" returns lp: Bad Request.<br>
<br>
I can provide more information as needed, I hope this rings some bells
in some people's heads and is something obvious that I am missing here.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
