	•	Check if the machine has started. Open

		have been activated when problems in
		printing occurred.
	•	Check if your application has special
		print options such as “-oraw”. If “-oraw”
		is specified in the command line
		parameter, then remove it to print
		properly. For Gimp front-end, select
		“print” -> “Setup printer” and edit the

		of ipp or install a later version of CUPS
		(cups-1.1.22 or higher).
