I have set a Canon s630 to work with DSL, using aps and gimp-sprint ( using s450 driver ).I have printed a test page ok, but cannot print anything else !!! did i missed something ?? Posted by roberts on Sep. 03 2004,19:59
What did you name your printer? How/What are you using to attempt to print?You can search the forum for export command so the apps will know your printer name. Posted by bibilit on Sep. 03 2004,20:35
I did not named the printer at all ( or don't think i did ... maybe s450 )I tried a small test with Ted, but nothing happened when i hit the print button ( i believed everything was ok when the test page worked ) Some clues ?? Posted by roberts on Sep. 03 2004,21:08
Did you select I from aps menu to Install the printer after the test page printed? It is there that you can give the printer a name. You are prompted "Your choice"with the default of lp If you did select I, but now have forgotten the printer name then from a shell window type cat /opt/printcap If you have nothing there, you exited Apsfilter program too soon. To test print, first be sure to start the printing daemon using DSLpanel , then from the shell type this lpr -h -Plp filetool.lst This will print your filetool.lst on the printer lp with no header page type lpr --help will show all the commands type export PRINTER=lp This will allow apps to find your printer without you having to specify each time with the lpr command Posted by bibilit on Sep. 04 2004,17:45
