Tuesday August 21, 2007 Ubuntu Gutsy Printing Sort Of Working
|
At the same time I had my display problems with the latest Ubuntu Gutsy updates, my ability to print stopped too. This is to an HP Laserjet 3050 which I'd just got working via an Airport Express base station last week. |
I noticed that today's Ubuntu updates had new printer related packages so I installed them all, and printing is working again. Sort of. It happily printed out an email from Thunderbird for me, but when I went to print out a PDF file (such as the one you can download from here), with two pages per physical page, nothing comes out. If I look at the document print status it's set to "Held". If I Release that, it'll say it's processing for a while, then go back to the "Held" state. I ended up just canceling the print job.
That PDF file prints just fine from Adobe Reader 6.0 on my Powerbook (to the same printer through the same Airport Express base unit).
If anybody has any clues on what might be going wrong, or how to debug this further, I'd be very interested to read about them. Maybe evince simply can't handle it.
