Printer problem
in [Slackware]
|
From: Frits on 11 Jun 2010 07:04 Since I upgraded from Slack-13.0 to 13.1 I can't get my printer working correctly. My printer an Epson Stylus COLOR 880 used to work in all earlier versions of Slack. I suppose it has something to do with CUPS , but I don't know what to do about it.The printer is recognized in CUPS, so far so good,but when I am trying to make a test print, the whole sheet is painted black. The active job log shows the following: "/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstoraster failed" I would appreciate any suggestions to correct the problem.

Further googling gave me the solution in www.linuxquestions.org Fixed it by downgrading ghostscript-8.71 to 8.70 from Slack-13.0.

I had a similar problem--it printed the test page just fine but for everything else it printed each page as 8 micro copies white on black. Bizarre. Reverting to 8.70 fixed it though. -- Jim Kalb http://jimkalb.com

This patched ghostscript-8.71 did work for me.
