This may seem a silly question but after making changes to the files
did you amend the printer setup/definition to make sure that it
included the changes?
What I do is to open a browser and go to localhost:631 and then click
the "Printers" tab and select the printer you want to check or update
the definition of - then select the "Administration" tab and go to
"Modify Printer" and work through the screens.... ensure you really
are selecting the driver that you think you are.....
Of course you may already be doing that in which case something else
is the issue - also did you try to install the splix package from
updates-testing?
This is weird Mike , if I open Firefox and type in 192.168.0.5, IP
to
printer it shows a Information page
from there I can PRINT out reports of the printer from that page.
But I can't print out anything like a txt doc or Print Test Page.
I strongly feel that this problem has to be with Fedora 16 and the
initial clean install.
When I finished install I had to do a service cups start
Because cups was not running .
I guess I will have to do another clean install of Fedora 16.
I will do that tomorrow , For now I have to go to my sisters house and
help polish off the remaining Turkey from yesterdays dinner.
Thanks again Mike
