next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
Installed apsfilter to help with my HP 672c DeskJet. Got messages that
lpd "cannot execv /usr/local/apsfilter/filter/aps-cdj670--auto-color",
which was where the if: in /etc/printcap pointed. That file did not
exist, however /usr/local/apsfilter/filter/aps-cdj670-mono-auto-color
DOES exist, so I inserted the word "mono" into the if: address in the
/etc/printcap that apsfilter created. Now, upon using the lpr command,
the printer makes a
noise as though it's about to print, but nothing happens except that the
light on it flashes forever - even through a reboot.
/var/spool/lpd/cdj670--auto-color/log contains a couple of messages that
look like:
a2ps : -Xmono : unknown paper format or
^........missing paper format
I really need some help deciphering what's wrong here. Apparently I
made a poor selection curing the instalation process.
After rebooting with another Operating System, when I printed a page
out, the printer first kicked out a "staggered " error message about
unknown paper size and "stack underflow". This was apparently still in
the printer's buffer.
Please, can you help me?
