Problem Possible Cause and Solution How do I specify the IP address of my SMB server? It can be specified in the "Add Printer" dialog of the configuration tool, if you don't use the CUPS printing system. Unfortunately, CUPS currently doesn't allow to specify the IP address of SMB printers, so you will have to be able to browse the resource with Samba in order to be able to print. Some documents come out as white pages when printing. Some versions of CUPS, especially those shipped with Mandrake Linux before the 8.1 release, have some known bugs when processing the PostScript output from some applications. Try upgrading to the latest version of CUPS (at least 1.1.14). Some RPM packages for most popular distributions are provided as a convenience with this Linux Printing Package. I have CUPS and some options (such as N-up) seem to be always enabled even though I don't pick them in LLPR. There may be some local options defined in your ~/ .lpoptions file, which is manipulated by the lpoptions command. These options will always be used if not overridden by LLPR settings. To get rid of all options for a printer, run the following command, replacing "printer" with the name of the queue: lpoptions -x printer. I configured a printer to print to a file, but I get "Permission denied" errors. Most printing systems will not run as the super-user but as a special user (usually "lp"). Therefore, make sure that the file you have chosen to print to is accessible to the user owning the spooler daemon. On my PCL (or SPL) Unfortunately, some Unix applications may generate non- printer, I sometimes get compliant PostScript output that may not be supported by 5 error messages printing Ghostscript, or even the printer itself in PostScript mode. instead of my document. You can try to capture the output to a file and view the results with Ghostscript (gv or ghostview will allow you to do so interactively) and see if you get error messages. However, since the application is at probably fault, contact your software vendor to inform them of the issue. SOLVING PROBLEMS 5.21
