Problem with printing in KDE and OOo2

[slunsky]

Hi,

I am having problems with printing under KDE apps - always an error message saying "A print error occurred. Error message received from system:

cupsdoprint -P 'HPLJ1300' -J 'file:///' -H 'sp-server:631' -U 'slunsky' -o ' copies=1 multiple-document-handling=separate-documents-collated-copies orientation-requested=3' '/tmp/kde-slunskygYVkLr/kdeprint_hYm7WrFH' : execution failed with message:
client-error-bad-request "

appears and also under Open Office 2.0.2. while trying to print to CUPS I get error message saying simply "Printing Error"

My configuration is Kubuntu 6.0.6 TLS i386, KDE 3.5.3., CUPS on server

Can someone please give me hint what to do?


THX

Re: Problem with printing in KDE and OOo2

According to http://linuxprinting.org/show_printe...-LaserJet_1300 you should be able to print postscript out of the box and you should get full functionality with the hplip package. The only thing I can suggest is that my LJ-2200 didn't work with the old fashioned parallel port, so I had to switch to a USB connection. But, I suspect that was a function of my computer, not of the driver.

Re: Problem with printing in KDE and OOo2

Thank you for your answer. Somehow I managed to get through this error. The thong is that printer is connected to printer server I am printing using CUPS server.

Unfortunately CUPS server has different locale (8859-2) from my computer (UTF-8) and this was a problem. After trying to print file which has local Czech characters in its name I got that error. It was fine when printing file without local Czech characters.

If someone has met the same problem I would like to share experiences with him.
