I have tried printing with CUPS. I never ran into problems with it and I had installed it many times with other distros. But with Gentoo it can't print. I have emerged cupsd and gimp-print-cups. My printer has an attached device in /dev/ and a CUPS driver (it's a HP printer so it is very known). The configuration steps did not cause a problem too. Here are 2 lines from the error log : I [21/Jun/2002:15:36:04 +0200] Job 5 queued on 'Printer' by 'root'. E [21/Jun/2002:15:36:04 +0200] Unable to convert file 0 to printable format for job 5! I guess there's something wrong with a missing filter or something.
Emerge the latest ghostscript.
I also experience this bug. I have ghostscript emerged. Logfile also reads: E [30/Jun/2002:12:12:51 +0200] print_job: resource name '/printers/lp' no good! E [30/Jun/2002:12:13:02 +0200] print_job: resource name '/printers/lp' no good! I also tried remerging cups.
Forgot to say: I used cups for some time and I have this problem since I upgraded to a newer version (can't remember which one).
Ehm... forgot to restart cupsd... ^_^' Sorry. Please somebody close this bug.
