Bonjour,
I have several computers at home and one with an usr-printer attached.
I struggled sometimes to configure cups on other computers to use this
printer. Now I upgraded to f34, and the configuration no longer works:
"printer is misconfigured or no longer exists" is the answer if I send a
test page....
After deleting the printer, I try to use the discovery tool in the
administration page of cups (localhost:631) and it find the printer
attached to my main computer but at the end of the configuration, when I
try to print a test page, the answer is the same:
"printer is misconfigured or no longer exists"
This tool also finds old printers I configured many years ago and which
(really) non longer exist...
What to do?
Thank you.
Hi Fronçois
To configure a printer, never use cups, never use localhost:631.
Instead install system-config-printer, it will appear under
Applications-> Administration -> Print Settings.
There configure your Network Printers.
The printers will work with many applications, however, there are other
applications, wich give me the "Filter failed" error message.
