Hello, list!
I'm facing serious problems with my new bought HP ColorLaserjet 2025dn.
I plugged it in the right interface and it got detected. I did set up
/etc/printcap as following:
p|local line printer|HPColorLaserjet:\
:lp=/dev/ulpt0:\
:sh:\
:mx#0:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/HPColorLaserjet:\
# :if=/usr/local/libexec/ps2pcl:\
:if=/usr/local/libexec/psif:\
:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:
where the filter "psif" is like this:
#!/bin/sh
IFS="" read -r first_line
first_two_chars=`expr "$first_line" : `\(..\)''
case "$first_two_chars" in
%!|\033%%)
# %! or ESC% : PostScript job, print it.
echo "$first_line" && cat && printf "\004" && exit 0
exit 2
;;
*)
# otherwise, format with enscript
( echo "$first_line"; cat ) \
| /usr/local/bin/enscript -o - && printf "\004" && exit 0
exit 2
;;
esac
When I now start printing from Firefox the printer does no job except of
printing out the following message:
Unknown device: HPColorLaserjet
Unrecoverable error: undefined in .uninstalledpaged rand stack:\
defaultdevice
Later on I got this mail by the system:

Your printer job
could not be printed
/var/log/lpd-errs contains the following:
Apr 22 18:11:34 grissom lpd[7465]: lp: job could not be printed
(cfA009grissom.einundvierzig.org)
Apr 22 18:11:44 grissom lpd[7465]: mail sent to user frank about job
<unknown> on printer lp (FATALERR)
and "dmesg" says:
ugen1.3: <Hewlett-Packard> at usbus1
ulpt0: <Printer> on usbus1
ulpt0: using bi-directional mode
ulpt0: offline
What can I do now? Has anybody any clue for me where to look?
Greetings Frank
