Problems with JetDirect network printers
Posted: Mon Feb 09, 2015 9:25 pm
Hi,
I'm using Turboprint for ages (since 2007). Just recently I upgraded my main OS from Mandriva 2010.0 Official 64b to CentOS 7.0 64b. All the time I used on Mandriva (2208, 2010) Turboprint 2.17-2 x86_64 with my two printers HP LJ1100 and Canon Pixma iP6700D. Both printers are connected all the time through network devices Edimax PS-1206P (HP) and PS-1206U (Pixma) so I used in the configuration of Turboprint a Jetdirect IP address and port. Everything worked fine all the time.
After upgrade of OS to CentOS 7.0 I installed the old Turboprint and tried to print on both printers. However only garbage was coming out of the HP (1 page each time, manual controlling was required) and nothing was coming out of the Pixma. So I thought that I need latest Turboprint. Therefore I upgraded to the latest version 2.35-2 x86_64 of Turboprint. However the behaviour remains - only garbage is printed on each page and I need to manually enable each page print directly on the printer (HP for the moment). If I print 1 page, it comes out 4-6 pages with garbage.
Therefore I made a test. I connected HP directly to my PC and setup new printer in the Turboprint (with LPT/USB converter). When I printed something after the setup (test page, my PDF), printing worked great. No issue was encountered.
My question is - why my printers with the same Jetdirect devices don't work under latest Turboprint and CentOS 7.0 while they were working under older OS and older Turboprint? Do you have any idea what is wrong? How can I debug the issue with printing through network and Turboprint? Are you able to help me resolve this issue?
Thanks for your help/advice in advance.
Regards,
Jan
