Does your Epson printer have a USB connection (mine has both parallel and USB) - it looks as if this problem is more to do with parallel printers.

Yes it does--I'd have to go get a cable--it'd be great if that's all there was to it. 
I wonder how I'd have to configure /etc/cups/printers.conf? What other files would I have to change? A glimmer of hope appears....... |

I found I got the error with localhost:631 when I hadn't switched my USB printer on. Just switch the printer on, localhost:631, add printer - it should have recognised your printer as a USB Epson.

It's been a while since I've printed anything. After several "dist-upgrade"s and a "dpkg-reconfigure cupsys", CUPS looked fine using the Web interface ("http://localhost:631" in a browser). What didn't work was the KDE printer subsystem (kcontrol > Peripherals > Printers) connecting to the CUPS server -- I got the same error that shame did.
But selecting Print Manager > Configure Manager... and going to the "CUPS Server" selection, and changing "/var/run/cups/cups.sock" to "localhost" in the "Host" field, seems to have solved the problem. |

I went & bought a USB cable rebooted went to localhost:631 tried to add printer & SUPRISE SUPRISE it went to the same ***damn blank page I mentioned before. I always have to enter username & password twice to get there. What a joy. I tried entering localhost in the host field in configure manager changing /var/run/cups/cups.sock without success & and for an "unknown reason" This is ridiculous.....
Unable to retrieve the printer list. Error message received from manager:
Connection to CUPS server failed. Check that the CUPS server is correctly installed and running. Error: the IPP request failed for an unknown reason. |

Yes, I think your solution may be found here:
http://kanotix.com/PNphpBB2-viewtopic-t-18742-start-30.html
Zitat:
I hand edited printers.conf replacing the "usb://MINOLTA ... blah .. blah" DeviceURI with "file:/dev/usb/lp0".
(Note: only one slash after the "file:") "/dev/usb/lp0" is the location of my USB printer.
This was the fix for my USB printer. I have dist-upgraded several times since first doing this fix, and it still works fine. good luck... |

@2radical:
with usblp. make sure the printer is started before! cupsd and before! starting the PC. make sure freeze-rc.d is not active.
Cupsd should start with S40cupssys or higher while usb should start long befor S10 or S20.
Even long after xprint foomatic or hpoj.
Parallel, USB does take a long time to initialize.
Do not take any driver, which came with version 1.1.xx of cups.
With most Ink-jet-printers you can use the generic-epson-fx.ppd if your printer does not appear to work correctly. or is not supported by the new driver. |

| My /etc/cups/printers.conf file gets deleted every time I reboot!! WHY?? Since when is a reboot supposed to delete system files? This is getting more ludicrous as time goes by. The Start page reads "Kanotix is a rock-solid Linux based on Debian-Sid......blahblah" Solid compared to what? Gas? Water? The ability to print should be an inherent basic capability of ANY distribution without having to go through endless configuration. I've spent an unconsciounable number of HOURS on this bull**** following every suggestion that has come down the pike to the best of my ability without resolve. Up until now I've been really happy with Kanotix, but this experience has really soured my opinion of it. |

joyboy@WorldsEnd:~$ apt-cache policy cupsys
cupsys:
Installed: 1.2.1-3
"Cupsd should start with S40cupssys or higher while usb should start long befor S10 or S20.
Even long after xprint foomatic or hpoj. "
I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about S10 or S20, and by "cupsd" do you mean cupsys?
I appreciate your guys help even though I haven't mentioned it... |

just a guess, but maybe it gets deleted b/c it could not locate the printer as configured.
try this: remove & purge cups, reboot, reinstall cups, set up your USB printer, then hand-edit printers.conf as suggested. at this point (not before this point), hopefully you can test your printer to confirm that it works.
if this doesn't help, then i'm sorry but i have nothing further to suggest. btw: this is not a problem only with kanotix, try googling and you'll see the same with other distros |

| I tried what you suggested but unfortunately, the same thing happened. I went to the blank localhost:631 screen again. KDE's wizard doesn't work either. This is an untenable situation. I'll give it a little more time, but then I'm off to something else, I'm afraid. What a pain in the ass. Thanks for your efforts--they have been appreciated, despite how PO'd I am..... |

My latest GoogleResults 1 - 10 of about 3,870,000 for "can't print"
I guess I shouldn't feel like the Lone Ranger on this issue. It makes me wonder how in the hell this code got released? Doesn't any testing occur beforehand? It certainly gives MS more fuel in their war against GNU/Linux. |

2radical: maybe you will find something useful here:
http://www.cups.org/str.php?L1738+P3+S-2+C0+I0+E0+Q
i agree that it's pretty bad for something as basic as printing does not function. that's why i maintain a dual-boot setup even though i use kanotix probably 90% of the time (except for at work where i must use windows)
piper: no, windows does not have similar printing problems or anything even approaching this. it has OTHER problems (security, etc) but the basic functionality does not break in this way |

jiro, I beg to differ, especially with XP, it is better now, much, but when XP first came out I was working as a tech and building computers and installing the software, it was in my opinion a nightmare for awhile  |

I don't have any printing problems and I have the same cupsys version everyone else has. I started with 2005-04 and am fully d-ued . Does anyone who started with 2005-04 recently (using h2's script to dist-upgrade) rather than Easter-RC4 have printing problems?

| I had some partial success in that I was able to at least install my printer through the web interface http://127.0.0.1:631/ by using root as username and supplying a password, however when I try to test it nothing happens. At least there aren't error messages. My /etc/cups/printers.conf file survived rebooting, too so that's an improvement. I tried replacing "DeviceURI usb://EPSON/Stylus%20C60" in printers.conf with "file:/dev/usb/lp0" but that made things worse with error messages, so I switched it back. This is some improvement although like I say I still can't print anything. |

@2radidical, sorry for this late post. I ment cupsd and cupssys. cupssys ist the hwPart and cupsd ist the part between Progr and printers.
Cupssys as module should start after usb or lpd-Module and cupsd should start after the printer and his filters is online. |

Can be a buggy usbcore.
size:
yourse: 106496
mine: 107936
next what is missing but bound to usbcore is: ehci_ucd no modules within your listing. Try replacing usb dependend files. |

Is ehci_ucd the usb 2.0 driver? I don't have that file. Is the correct command to insert it "insmod ehci_ucd" ?
The only usb dependent file I have to my knowledge is /dev/usb/lp0, which is a character device. It's permissions are crw-rw----
thanks, kurt |
