(SOLVED) Open Office printing all-black pages
« on: May 24, 2010, 01:59:58 AM »
Phoenix is great. I added a few extras, and replaced Xfburn with Gnomebaker, which unmounts a CD before blanking (they are mounted on insertion).  I added Cups, Foomatic, Gutenprint & Open Office.  Open Office printed all-black pages on my Epson tx550w.  Error was 'pstoraster failed'.  The fix was to un-install Cups & Cups-common (1.4.3) and get Cups 1.3.11.  I installed from source, and all was good.  Accessed cups via firefox (127.0.0.1:631).  Solved.

*Edit*  To increase the number of printers available, I have now uninstalled the gutenprint packages, and installed gutenprint 5.2.5 from source.
