Hi folks I have a new problem. I used cups for some time. Recently I reinstalled crux linux after a partition blew it's gasket. I have a hp officejet j5780. I installed hplip and cups. hplip 2.7.6-1 foomatic-filters 3.0.2-1 ghostscript 8.63-1 cups 1.3.8-1 If I print an image it prints perfectly. If I print the test images from either cups or from hp-toolbox they print fine. However if I try to print from the likes of openoffice or a textfile they do print but with complete disregard for spacing and formatting. No matter how I screen format the document, when I print it it comes out with no space whatsoever between successive lines. And I meant no space, the bottom of topline and top of bottom line are almost joined. I tried various other PPD files including the one from linuxprinting.org and from hpijs and gutenprint etc. No joy. Evenmore annoying is that I have a PCLinux installed in another partition with same ppd file as the driver and with similar setup. I even compared the files in /etc/cups/* between two installations without much use. Only real difference is the one under PCLinux is an older version of cups/gutenprint etc. Any help will be greatly appreciated. # lpoptions Default hp Collate=true Quality=300ColorCMYK fitplot=true prettyprint=true # cupsd.conf LogLevel info SystemGroup sys root Listen localhost:631 Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock Browsing On BrowseOrder allow,deny BrowseAllow all DefaultAuthType Basic <Location /> Order allow,deny </Location> <Location /admin> Encryption Required Order allow,deny </Location> <Location /admin/conf> AuthType Default Require user @SYSTEM Order allow,deny </Location> <Policy default> <Limit Send-Document Send-URI Hold-Job Release-Job Restart-Job Purge-Jobs Set-Job-Attributes Create-Job-Subscription Renew-Subscription Cancel-Subscription Get-Notifications Reprocess-Job Cancel-Current-Job Suspend-Current-Job Resume-Job CUPS-Move-Job> Require user @OWNER @SYSTEM O <Limit CUPS-Add-Modify-Printer CUPS-Delete-Printer CUPS-Add-Modify-Class CUPS-Delete-Class CUPS-Set-Default> AuthType Default Require user @SYSTEM Order deny,allow </Limit> <Limit Pause-Printer Resume-Printer Enable-Printer Disable-Printer Pause-Printer-After-Current-Job Hold-New-Jobs Release-Held-New-Jobs Deactivate-Printer Activate-Printer Restart-Printer Shutdown-Printer Startup-Printer Promote-Job Schedule-Job-After CUPS-Accept-Jobs CUPS-Reject-Jobs> AuthType Default Require user @SYSTEM Order deny,allow </Limit> <Limit Cancel-Job CUPS-Authenticate-Job> Require user @OWNER @SYSTEM Order deny,allow </Limit> <Limit All> Order deny,allow </Limit> </Policy> Order deny,allow </Limit> #printers.conf # Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.3.8 # Written by cupsd on 2008-10-18 13:16 <Printer fax> Info fax DeviceURI hpfax:/usb/Officejet_J5700_series?serial=CN7B1CF2K104TB State Idle StateTime 1224347056 Accepting Yes Shared Yes JobSheets none none QuotaPeriod 0 PageLimit 0 KLimit 0 OpPolicy default ErrorPolicy stop-printer </Printer> <Printer hp> Info HP Officejet J5700 series Location Local Printer DeviceURI hp:/usb/Officejet_J5700_series?serial=CN7B1CF2K104TB State Idle StateTime 1224350191 Accepting Yes Shared Yes JobSheets none none QuotaPeriod 0 PageLimit 0 KLimit 0 OpPolicy default ErrorPolicy stop-printer </Printer> __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
