| I have a dot matrix printer that I've configured under CUPS 1.2.11 as a "Generic" type printer. This dot matrix printer is connected to the network via an HP JetDirect print server. When I try and print using this printer, nothing prints, and I get these errors in the error_log: E [03/Jul/2007:14:59:14 +0500] Unable to convert file 0 to printable format for job 25! I [03/Jul/2007:14:59:14 +0500] Hint: Do you have ESP Ghostscript installed? I've tried two different versions of Ghostscript, one GNU and one HP-UX depot package. I installed 1.2.11 from the source code under HP-UX 11.11. I copied these files from my Linux box the HP box: cp textonly.ppd /usr/local/cups/share/cups/model cp textonly /usr/local/cups/lib/cups/filter I believe these should work, but am suspicious. What do I need to do to get CUPS working with my dot matrix printer? -Thanks |
