Common Linux problems

	switch to the Printers tab in Printers
	configuration window to look at the list of
	available machines. Make sure that your
	machine is displayed on the list. If not, open
	Add new printer wizard to set up your
	device.
	• Check if the machine is started. Open
	Printers configuration and select your
	machine on the printers list. Look at the
	description in the Selected printer pane. If its
	status contains Stopped string, press the
	Start button. After that normal operation of
	the machine should be restored. The
	“stopped” status might be activated when
	some problems in printing occurred. For
	instance, this could be an attempt to print a
	document when the port is claimed by a
	scanning application.
	• Ensure the port is not busy. Since functional
	components of machine (printer and scanner)
	share the same I/O interface (port), the
	situation of simultaneous access of different
	user applications to the same port is possible.
	To avoid possible conflicts, only one of them
	at a time is allowed to gain control over the
	device. The other user will encounter “device
	busy” response. You should open ports
	configuration and select the port assigned to
	your machine. In the Selected port pane you
	can see if the port is occupied by some other
	application. If this is the case, you should
	either wait for completion of the current job or
	press the Release port button, if you are sure
	that the present application is not functioning
	properly.
	• Check if your application has special print
	option 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 command
	line parameter in the command item.
	• The CUPS (Common UNIXPrinting System)
	version distributed with SuSE Linux 9.2
	(cups-1.1.21) has a problem with ipp (Internet
	Printing Protocol) printing.Use the socket
	printing instead of ipp or install a later version
	of CUPS (cups-1.1.22 or higher).
