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 the detail 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 choose r Condition Suggested solutions The printer does not print a document from Acrobat Reader.
