Says "Job finished" but did not print

Post by tschiex »

I have been using TurboPrint since version 1. Initially had it on one linux Ubuntu computer.

Now I have an ArchLinux ARM computer (acting as a NAS), a Windows computer and the Ubuntu box. I decided to put the USB printer on the (always up) ARM computer so that I could print both from Windows and Linux w/o having to power up the Ubuntu computer to print from Windows.

Bought the ARM licence for Turboprint2, installed it on the ARM machine. The ARM machine prints well (test page ok, printing a pdf from command line ok) ! Fine. :D

Setup the Windows machine to print on the ARM server using http://armcomputername:631/printers/... The Windows computer prints well (printed a PDF). Fine. :D

Setup the Ubuntu box (that has CUPS and TurboPrint2 on it) to print on the ARM server using ipp://armcomputername/printers/... Well, looks like it works, connects, ink levels update themselves correctly (and the printer connected on the ARM wakes up when the Ubuntu box connects to gather the ink levels), tried a test page...

From the Ubuntu side, the test page is supposed to print (very quickly) and the job supposed to be finished. On the ARM server side, the printer wakes up, moves a bit but prints nothing (not even a page feed). The Ubuntu and ARM error-logs are not changed when I print the test page (not a single line). :(

The print.log of turboprint hower points to a problem (see end of mail) that seems to indicate gs has a problem with the file syntax ?
However, if I print the same PDF file from the ARM computer directly, everything runs 100% fine...

Or a pipe cannot be created :

Code: Select all

could not open freepipes pipe /var/spool/turboprint/tom/fd 
when /var/spool/turboprint exists:

Code: Select all

drwxrwxr-x  3 root lp   4096 Jan  6 23:25 turboprint
Cannot point out the issue from the log :(

Well after several modifications, reboots, modifications, printer deletions, creations... it suddenly works. :D

The last thing I did was changing the system.cfg of turboprint to disable gszedo (which is not distributed in the ARM version anyway apparently).

Hello,

thank you for your problem report and also for reporting that the problem is solved.

The log file shows that ghotstscript reports "/syntaxerror in -file-" which means that a syntax in the PDF file to be printed is reported ("G4G8-hart.pdf").

It is correct that the ARM version of TurboPrint doesn't contain the gszedo, the TurboPrint/ZEDOnet specific version of Ghostscript, so always the pre-installed version of ghostscript is used.

Can you print the same PDF file now?
