Suggested solutions

 

 

The machine does not print.

• Check if the printer driver is installed in your system. Open Unified Driver Configurator and switch to the Printers tab in the

 

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 from the printers list. Look at the

 

description in the Selected printer pane. If its status contains Stopped, press the Start button. Normal operation of the machine

 

should be restored. The “stopped” status might be activated when some problems in printing occur.

 

• 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 command line parameter in the

 

command item.

“Cannot open port device file”

Avoid changing print job parameters (e.q., via LPR GUI) while a print job is in progress. Known versions of CUPS server break the print

error message appears when

job whenever print options are changed and then try to restart the job from the beginning. Since Unified Linux Driver locks the port

printing a document.

while printing, the abrupt termination of the driver keeps the port locked and unavailable for subsequent print jobs. If this situation

 

occurs, try to release the port by selecting Release port in the Port configuration window.
