Hi folks,
Fedora Core 2
(upgrade from RH 8.0)
HPdeskjet 690C
KDE desktop
Printing had no problem before upgrade. After upgrade
printing does not work.
Tests performed as follows;
1) Text Dorcument - Simple Text Editor
File --> Print --> Printer Name
in the droplist window
HP_deskjet_690C
----
Mail pdf file
Print to file (PDF)
Print to file (Postscript)
Send fo Fax
All were there as before upgrade.
Selected HP_deskjet_690C --> Print
No response. The 'Print window' closed but the printer
did not print.
2) OpenOffice Write Doc.
(OpenOffice 1.1.2)
K_Start --> OpenOffice.org_1.1.2 -->
OpenOffice.org_Printer_Admin
ony Generic Printer (Default printer) was there
--> Properties -- under Command_tab -> lpr -P
"HP_Deskjet_690C" --> OK --> Close
File --> Print -->
on Printer_Name droplist window
<HP_deskjet_690C>
Generic printer
Both of them were there
A)
--> sekected <HP_deskjet_690C> ---> OK
(Type SGENPRT)
(Location HP_Deskjet_690C)
no response, the 'Print window' close but the printer
did not print
B)
--> Generic Printer --> OK
(Status Default printer)
(Type SGENPRT)
the Print Window closed but no response. The printer
did not print.
K_Start --> System Settings --> More System Settings
--> Printer system switcher
To start Redhat-switch-printer window
under Available printing sytem
tbe button of CUPS already checked permanently
(only CUPS, no other selections)
I was not allowed to uncheck the botton.
Furthermore I run "yum update" daily.
Remark:
Neither the printer nor the Printer/Para-port has
problem. This PC has another mobile HD running WinXP.
Printing has no problem)
Kindly advise how to test the printer communcation and
fix the problem
TIA
B.R.
