Hello. I'm using Fedora 13 x86_64
upgraded from fedora 12
turboprint upgraded to current version.
After push button "print" from gimp or test page from tollbox printer status changed to "Stopped"

Hello,

there seems to be a problem with the "backend" - the backend is the Linux component that transfers the print data to the printer.

Please send more information:

- how is the printer connected - USB or network?

- please find out the connection string "URI" - visible in TurboPrint Control Center, column "URI".

- from a terminal window, execute

sudo /usr/lib/cups/backend/tpu
( 64bit system: )
sudo /usr/lib64/cups/backend/tpu

and note the output (printer must be attached and switched on).

- also send the complete /var/log/cups/error_log directly after trying to print

The log file is large, so better send it by email to mail at zedonet dot de (replace "at" by "@" and "dot" by ".").
