Problem: jobs can be printed from the command line, but no output appears when attempting to print directly from applications such as Preview or Microsoft Office. The problem is not the same as the `Word doesn't print' from which many people seem to suffer - Office is perfectly aware of the printer. Server: HP Deskjet attached to a Debian Woody machine (`vihta') running CUPS 1.1.14. Local printing works perfectly. Cups is set up to be browsable from the LAN, with `Allow From [LAN IP range]' in the <Location /printers> directive in cupsd.conf. Client: Mac OS X 10.3.2 (`omena') attached to the LAN. The remote printer appears in the Printer Setup Utility as `Deskjet default queue' under `Shared Printers', and `Show info' reveals that it is `locally attached' and is referred to as `lp@vihta'. In Safari, http://localhost:631 gives all the usual info on the queue, and I can print a test page. I can print PS and PDF files from the command line using `lpr foo.ps' or `lpr foo.pdf'. I can also print from unixy programs such as Lyx and gv, which probably use lpr anyway. However, I haven't had any success printing from `native' OS X programs such as Office or Preview. I get a brief progress bar claiming that the job is `processing', but no job appears in the print queue window. I can successfully print to a PDF file which I can then print from the command line. All jobs, whether they produce printed output or not, leave the following message in /var/log/cups/error_log: I [04/Jan/2004:18:03:47 +0000] Job 23 queued on 'lp@vihta' by 'stephen'. I [04/Jan/2004:18:03:47 +0000] Started backend /usr/libexec/cups/backend/ipp (PID 2242) for job 23. though the following message sometimes but not always appears for unsuccessful jobs: E [04/Jan/2004:18:03:53 +0000] get_job_attrs: job #23 doesn't exist! On the server, all jobs - successful or unsuccessful - leave a trace in /var/log/cups/error_log of the form I [04/Jan/2004:18:14:19 +0000] Job 44 queued on 'lp' by 'stephen'. I [04/Jan/2004:18:14:19 +0000] Started filter /usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftops (PID 3393) for job 44. I [04/Jan/2004:18:14:19 +0000] Started filter /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstops (PID 3394) for job 44. I [04/Jan/2004:18:14:19 +0000] Started filter /usr/lib/cups/filter/cupsomatic (PID 3395) for job 44. I [04/Jan/2004:18:14:19 +0000] Started backend /usr/lib/cups/backend/parallel (PID 3396) for job 44. So, something recognizable is reaching the print server, but this `something' produces no output when it originates directly from Preview or Office. Any ideas what's going on? -- Stephen Cornell cornell.RemoveThis@zoo.cam.ac.uk Tel/fax +44-1223-336644 University of Cambridge, Zoology Department, Downing Street, CAMBRIDGE CB2 3EJ >> Stay informed about: Problems printing to CUPS server from OS X Panther

Search the PPD on the Mac (in /etc/cups/ppd/) and post all > lines starting with Cups. Thanks for your reply. On the client, /etc/cups/ppd is empty, though there is a binary file /etc/cups/ppds.dat. I tried copying the lp.ppd file from the server to the client (as lp.RemoveThis@vihta.ppd) but with no difference in the result. I set LogLevel to `debug' as you suggested, and here are the lines from /var/log/cups/error_log when I submit an unsuccessful job (note the clocks on the two machines appear to be about 30 secs out of sync). Sorry for including so much material - I'm not sure how much might be relevant, as there's nothing in here that looks suspicious to me (the only error is a Locale problem, which appears to be benign). I've wrapped some of the longer lines of output. ################ On the client:############################################## I [05/Jan/2004:21:59:00 +0000] Listening to 7f000001:631 D [05/Jan/2004:21:59:00 +0000] AddLocation: added location 'CUPS_INTERNAL_BROWSE_ACL' D [05/Jan/2004:21:59:00 +0000] AllowIP: CUPS_INTERNAL_BROWSE_ACL allow 7f000001/ffffffff D [05/Jan/2004:21:59:00 +0000] AllowHost: CUPS_INTERNAL_BROWSE_ACL allow @LOCAL D [05/Jan/2004:21:59:00 +0000] DenyIP: CUPS_INTERNAL_BROWSE_ACL deny 00000000/00000000 D [05/Jan/2004:21:59:00 +0000] AddLocation: added location '/' D [05/Jan/2004:21:59:00 +0000] DenyIP: / deny 00000000/00000000 D [05/Jan/2004:21:59:00 +0000] AllowIP: / allow 7f000001/ffffffff D [05/Jan/2004:21:59:00 +0000] AddLocation: added location '/admin' D [05/Jan/2004:21:59:00 +0000] DenyIP: /admin deny 00000000/00000000 D [05/Jan/2004:21:59:00 +0000] AllowIP: /admin allow 7f000001/ffffffff I [05/Jan/2004:21:59:00 +0000] Loaded configuration file "/private/etc/cups/cupsd.conf" I [05/Jan/2004:21:59:00 +0000] Configured for up to 100 clients.

Unfortunately you wrapped the whole stuff at the end, which made it really hard to read the log ;-( Unfortunately I couldn't see any special in the output.

Apologies for the late followups - I've had a rather busy week... Reminder: printing from an OS X client to a Debian server (running CUPS) works from the command line (or similar tools which use lpr, e.g. gv) but not from Preview.app Thomas Kaiser <Thomas.Kaiser.RemoveThis@phg-online.de> writes: > Stephen Cornell wrote in <news:wn7k05p89n.fsf@zoo.cam.ac.uk>: > > > On the client, /etc/cups/ppd is empty > > Ah -- okay.

From /etc/cups/ppd/lp.ppd, on the server: cupsVersion: 1.0 cupsManualCopies: True cupsModelNumber: 2 cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-postscript 0 cupsomatic" > > here are the lines from /var/log/cups/error_log when I submit an > > unsuccessful job > > Have you compared argv and envp (eg. by grepping for "StartJob: argv" in > error_log) when printing a PDF from the command line on the server (or more > general from a job that doesn't fail)? I've appended such lines to the end of this message, for a job sent from gv on the one hand (uses ghostscript and lpr) and directly from Preview.app on the other. Output is similar to the lpr case if I print from the command line on the server, or lpr foo.pdf from the client file as the argument to lpr from the client. The list of arguments is much longer when printing from Preview.app, so much so that the output in error_log is clearly truncated. Successful jobs seem to have few enough arguments that there is no truncation. I don't know whether this could cause the error I see. The biggests difference in error_log between successful and unsuccessful jobs is that I see lines of postscript for the former. When printing a PDF file, either via Preview or via lpr, the processes pdftops, pstops, and then cupsomatic run, but only for the command line jobs do I get a message `pdftops - opend PPD file /etc/cups/ppd/lp.ppd', followed by some postscript lines, then some PJL lines, then the converted file, then EOF etc. > > (the only error is a Locale problem, which appears to be benign). > > Does this also occur, when printing directly on the server?
