Printing problem

[SKF]

Hi, I've just upgraded to Feisty Fawn. Everything goes fine, except this little printing problem. I used to print to a distant printer on the university network, but it no longer works.
I tried to reinstall cups and it solve half of the problem. Now, the test-page print correctly, but I'm still unable to print any other kind of document. (pdf, openoffice, kate, kile...)

anyone has an idea ?
thanks,

SKF

Re: Printing problem

goto system settings>printers switch to admin mode and then print server manager? i think is the tab. toggle print filter. you have to move any installed printer from the left pane to the right pane for apps like Oo.o to use the printer.

Re: Printing problem

Hi SKF
First is the printer still there?
Were you using an IP address to the printer?
Is it setup as network printer thought a print server?
Has the IT department updated the print server and rename the printer?

At work we have over 10 print servers and we replace 2 or 3 a year.
In the last 2 years we have been renaming the print servers.
When we replace a print server we give a new name.
Because we have to test the new print server to make such that all the print driver are installed properly.
After a month of testing is done, then it go on line for all users.
The users are inform to change to the new printer server and printer name.
After about a week the old print server is removed.

I hope this info helps a little.
Good Luck
and check with the IT department.
