I recently switched from sharing a couple of printers from Samba (what a giant PITA to configure) to CUPS (mostly Just Worked). Except... Sometimes when printing from Windows my output is truncated. For example, I just printed a test page from my XP work machine and I have the the first 5 lines and part of the 6th, but that's it. Other times it works fine. The print server was Gutsy until the weekend but is now running Hardy, which doesn't seem to make a difference. And it only seems to happen on the inkjet, not the LaserJet 4. Windows client-side it's configured as an "Internet printer" at http://hostname:631/printers/OfficeJetK60. I was amazed at how much easier that was to set up than the old Samba way I was doing it. HP OJ K-60 using Common UNIX Printing System 1.3.7: Printer Driver: HP OfficeJet K60 Foomatic/hpijs (recommended) Printer State: processing, accepting jobs, published. Device URI: hp:/par/OfficeJet_K60?device=/dev/parport0 Thus far Googling hasn't turned up anything relevant, the closest was something where the top was truncated, but for me it's the bottom, and only sometimes and only from Windows (W2K & XP). Any clues? JP Mite be old drivers, do you have the latest hplip. Best way is to compile from source. Plus the new printer GUI is cool. http://hplip.sourceforge.net/ -------------------------------------------------- Brian Vagnoni PGP Digital Fingerprint F076 6EEE 06E5 BEEF EBBD BD36 F29E 850D FC32 3955 -------------------------------------------------- ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
