Installation Stopped Working
Posted: Sat Dec 02, 2006 1:33 pm
I have been using Turboprint on my Ubuntu installation for a couple of years and it has been working just fine.
I have a Canon S600 attached to the parallel port on the Ubuntu computer as tp0. I wanted to attach it as a network printer (the S600 has two ports: a parallel and a USB) through the print server that is connected to the USB port. So, following the instructions on the Turboprint web site manual, I created a second entry, tp1, which pointed to the print server and its port.
To make a long story short, the result of this action was to break the already working local parallel port connection while not allowing access to the USB port; the printer is not seen by the system. I know this because the printer icon that Ubuntu displays when it passes a print file to the print spooler doesn't show, even though the application gives the impression that printing has completed properly.
I would be grateful for clues as to what I need to look at to fix this. [If it makes any difference, I start the Turboprint setup tool with a gksudo command.]
Thanks very much,
