Printing Issues Salix 14.0 64bit [Solved]
Posted: 18. Apr 2014, 12:35
Hi all,
I am having persistent issues in printing from my Salix-box - Salix 14.0, 64bit, multilib.
The PC runs a Nvidia graphics adapter (current nvidia driver) and the printer is a HP Laserjet 6 MP, connected via an intel netportexpress pro to my internal network. Printing system is CUPS as supplied by Salix.
The HP Lj 6MP is known to run with the postscript driver, but always printing a blank page after the document is printed,
or with the Gutenprint driver.
However, on this machine, its only the postscript driver which is working. Whatever other driver I tried, none worked.
Either no image or corrupted image.
Now, if I want to print of PDF documents, some (but not all!) result in just a single blank page, regardless which PDF-Viewer I choose.
Printing from word processors works.
Interestingly, I am having an HP laptop (older model) running same Salix version, printing through the same environment to that printer,
flawless with Gutenprint!
Only difference is the graphics adapter (intel) and no multilib.
Where must I start looking to find out what goes wrong?
Thanks for you help.
