TurboPrint & PrintFab

Hello Amistad, for printing labels I do not recommend the borderless mode. In borderless mode the printer is much slower and is restricted to certain quality and paper modes. Only if you really need to print at the borders of the labels, borderless mode is useful. Set up your new page format using 3...

Printers are probed by Cups when TurboPrint opens a Cups connection. So the only way to stop printer probing is to remove the interface drivers for all interfaces that are not used. If you are connecting your printers via the "socket" protocol, you could move all other backends from the &q...

Please make sure the printer is connected an online, then try the following shell command: sudo /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb (enter your admin password when requested) Your printer should be listed then - if not, there is a problem with the USB interface. If the printer is shown, enter the TurboPrint c...

Hi Fonkie, how long did you wait after pressing "+" in the Control Center of TurboPrint? Maybe one of the CUPS backends needs some more time to complete the printer search. To find out if endless printer probing is the reason for your problem, you could temporarily move some or all CUPS ba...

Hello Mickey Mouse, apparently the selected device driver for sending to printer via the USB interface to the printer is wrong. Please open the TurboPrint Control Center and change your printer setup. As connection you should select the entry with your printer name and "TPUSB" appended. Th...

Hello,

the problem was found & fixed - please download TurboPrint 2.02-2.

Hello, the TurboPrint daemon should is run at installation time and during the boot procedure. Does it work after a reboot? You can also start it manually from command line using sudo /etc/init.d/tpdaemon start If you get an error message please post. The daemon is not required for keyfile installat...

Hello, it should work like this: - make sure that both color and black cartridge are installed in the printer - in TurboPrint choose "Cartridge"="Black & Color" (TurboPrint 2: "Mode"="Black & Color") and "Color Mode"="Grayscale" (Tu...

Are fonts / lines not sharp or is the image too "noisy" (dithering not smooth)? If color accuracy is already okay I can suggest the following: - switch to unidirectional printing (print dialog -> "Printer Settings": "Print direction" = "Unidirectional" - use a...

Hello,

this sounds like a problem that was recently fixed. Please check if you already have the current version TurboPrint 2.02-1.

Hello, there seems to be a network communication problem. First you have to determine the printer's IP address. If your Stylus Color 3000 has Epson's network module, there is a button next to the network cable. By pressing the button you can print a network information page that also contains the IP...

Hello,

a new version 2.02-1 that should fix the problem is now available on

ftp://ftp.zedonet.com

(but not yet on the download page).

Please let me know if that solves the problem on your Linux installation.

Hello cliff, is your first question TurboPrint related? I assume that the modem behaviour is the same with TurboPrint installed and without. Regarding the "No connection to TurboPrint Daemon" message, apparently the turboprint daemon was not initialized at system startup. Please try the fo...

Hello Hans, with TurboPrint 2 Studio you can add and use new color spaces. If you have an ICC profile of the Kodak ProPhoto color space, you will not need to convert it to sRGB before printing. Just select this color space in TurboPrint - the colors will be interpreted correctly then. Unfortunately ...
