I can't print when I installed both Linux Print Package (LPP) and MFP driver on the same machine simultaneously. Can't scan via Gimp Front-end. • Since both Linux Printer Package and MFP driver make a symbolic link to "lpr" printing command, which is commonly used on Unix clones, it is not recommended to use both package on the same machine. • Check if Gimp Front-end has "Xsane:Device dialog." on the "Acquire" menu. If not, you should install Xsane plug-in for Gimp on the your computer. You can find Xsane plug-in package for Gimp on Linux distribution CD or Gimp home page. For more information, refer to the Help for Linux distribution CD or Gimp Front-end application. If you wish to use other kind of scan application, refer to the Help for application. I encounter error "Unable to open MFP port device file!" when printing a document. Avoid changing print job parameters (via SLPR utility, for example) while a print job is in progress. Known versions of CUPS server break the print job whenever print options are changed and then try to restart the job from the beginning. Since Linux MFP driver locks MFP port while printing, the abrupt termination of the driver keeps the port locked and therefore unavailable for subsequent print jobs. If this situation occurred, try to release the MFP port. Common Macintosh Problems Problems in the chooser Condition The printer does not print a document from Acrobat Reader. The document has printed, but the print job has not disappeared from the spooler in Mac OS 10.3.2. Suggested solutions Change the Print Method option to Print as Image when you print from Acrobat Reader. Update your Mac OS to OS 10.3.3. or higher.

Make sure that the print job is a PS job. Check to see if the software application is waiting for a setup or PS header file to be sent to the printer. Open the PostScript driver properties and set the Option Tray item of the Device option to Installed.
