Network Printer problems from one machine.
« on: August 04, 2010, 04:06:01 PM »
I have one machine on my network that does not want to print properly as all other machines do print ok.

I have a 'HP Photosmart C4580 all in one printer / scanner' and is set up to be a network printer / scanner.

On the problem computer with PCLinuxOS 2010.2  2.6.32.12-pclos1.bfs installed with all updates.

Using the HP manager or viewing the printer details in a web browser all seem ok.

Trying to print from a open office write doc instead of the document I get at the top of the printed page

"%!PS-Adobe-3.0 %% BoundingBox: (atend) %%Creator: (Openoffice.org 3.2) %%For (my name)"

Next tying to print from a web page (a google map) I get this

"%!PS-Adobe-3.0 %%Creator cairo 1.6.4 (http://cairographics.org) %%creationDate: T"

Anyone any idea what to try next please.
I have tried reinstalling all the 'hplip' and 'cups' packages with no improvement.

suddenly I now also have this problem. everything worked fine till this morning.

i have two machines each having it own printer, they both worked fine.

yesterday i used pcc to set up a third machine to use the printers on the first two machine (with the third machine local cups server)

now printing is broken from any machine

i get the printout you mentioned when printing from firefox,  similar printouts when printing from openoffice, and adobe acrobat.
