Re: Problem with printing on change of printer

As Reinhard write, it is cups problem.
In "/etc/cups/mime.convs" you must uncomment line:

application/octet-stream       application/vnd.cups-raw        0       -


Line in "/etc/cups/mime.types":

application/octet-stream

should be uncommented too (althought not necessary when You specify
"-l" lpr switch - equivalent of "-o raw")

The (real) printer is a pcl/postscript printer (although a LexMark, I
used a HPLJ Color 4500 printer driver). And in DOS/Wordperfect I set up
a postscript printer driver for HPLJ Color 4500)

I set up another machine in exactly the same way as the problem machine,
and have no problem in printing . On the problem machine the cups
error.log produces the following entries:

"I [29/Jan/2008:09:20:01 +0000] Default destination set to 'HPLJ4500' by
'root'.
E [29/Jan/2008:09:20:12 +0000] print_job: Unsupported format
'application/vnd.cups-raw'!
I [29/Jan/2008:09:20:12 +0000] Hint: Do you have the raw file printing
rules enabled?"


Is something missing from the Dosemu setup or in CUPS?

I do use cups, but my technical skills are low so although I can see the
relevant cups files I do not what I should be looking for.

Would it be possible to let me know what I should be looking for/doing.
I would be very grateful.

1. Search files in your /var/log/cups directory for "unknown format"
phrase (or sth like that).

2. Because you set up your program to send PCL commands to printer you
can although try to create RAW printer in cups (then no filters should
be used for printing and everything created by program will be send to
printer "directly").
