| 443254 | 2006-04-04 01:12:00 | so I've installed gimp print now what?Go to the cups browser interface page (http://localhost:631) and set up the printer. Theoretically, the gimp-print drivers should show up in the drivers section. Make sure cups is started | Myth (110) | ||
| 443255 | 2006-04-04 07:09:00 | That seems to be doing great. It's further than it has been but stuck at 21% If my printer didn't work work in windows I'd think there was something wrong with it.

| 443256 | 2006-04-04 07:15:00 | I suspect that that test page might be a very compliated PostScript file. It looks pretty, though. It will produce a very big printer file for a non-PS printer. I have had it come out OK on various HP inkjet printers without trouble, but it might be a bit big for the memory in the printer. Cancel that, and try printing a text page. (There's probably a way round memory shortage if that is the problem... but you want the printer to work). (I'm using a LJ-4M on CUPS at the moment, but I've put 36 MB of ram in it, so it handles PostScript with no nonsense). | Graham L (2) | ||
| 443257 | 2006-04-05 05:07:00 | I found that when I used another driver from the cx3*** series and pointed it at usb_printer_#1 then my printer would start spitting out blank pages. I have since found this gentoo-wiki.com CVS is greek to me. Can someone put these instructions into english for me please? I can pull apart windows but I'm still only verging on advanced user in linux. |

| 443259 | 2006-04-05 11:49:00 | CVS is used quite a lot in Gentoo (and other Linux distros too I think). Its basically just a repository where all users (developers/contributors) can have access to the source code, and can make additions, edits, whatever to a particular application/library/ whatever. These additions are overseen by the main developers of said application, and tested by testers/contributors within the open source community. Issues and merits are reported on. If the application/library passes testing, it is released to the open source community (end users). If editing/further testing is required, the cycle starts over. Thats my interpretation of CVS and how it fits in to the larger scheme Congrats on getting the printer going BTW :thumbs: .. I know how irritating it can be when you know something should work, but for some reason its not (I had similar issue with CUPS, then had to get Windows machine to access printer attached to Linux machine. Got there in the end (needed a bit of editing in Samba) |

| 443260 | 2006-04-05 22:30:00 | Thanks for the info on CVS. Now I know why they call it dangerous to use and say things like "if you want to risk it" | apparition (3207) | ||
