Hi Is there anyone that knows anything about printing that can help me? dmesg (snippet) output: ---8<--- parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [PCSPP,TRISTATE] lp0: using parport0 (polling). lp0: console ready ---8<--- Jobs can be submitted but just sit there interminably. Nothing prints! Host is configured with LPRng (alternatives). CUPS is not installed. # lpstat -t scheduler is running system default destination: hplj4 printer hplj4@olympus unknown state. enabled since Feb 18 00:01 2003. available Printer: hplj4@olympus Queue: no printable jobs in queue Status: job 'tom@olympus+493' saved at 23:49:41.080 When I start redhat-config-printer I get the following errors on the console: ---8<--- (redhat-config-printer-gui:17616): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid cast from (NULL) pointer to `GObject' (redhat-config-printer-gui:17616): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: file gobject.c: line 972 (g_object_get): assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed (redhat-config-printer-gui:17616): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid cast from (NULL) pointer to `GObject' (redhat-config-printer-gui:17616): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: file gobject.c: line 972 (g_object_get): assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed ---8<--- Although I get the errors above the utility seems to work OK and it configures a /etc/printcap. I must have a hole in my head because I can't work this out...Any help is appreciated.
