Can anyone on this list help? # Thanks I am having a problem with CUPS and Gnome. I am running Gnome 2.6.2, Gnome-Office, and Xorg all installed via ports. I have a P4 2.6 with 1G of ram %uname -a FreeBSD p4.hawaii.rr.com 5.2.1-RELEASE-p9 FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE-p9 #9: Sun Oct 3 10:25:03 HST 2004 root at p4.hawaii.rr.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/P4BSD1 i386 I recently attached a HP 890C DeskJet printer. I installed Cups and gnome-cups-manager from ports. I am able to use the web interface and install the printer. The test page prints fine. I can also print a text file from gedit without trouble. # I can also print a test page from gnome-cups-manager The problem is with AbiWord2, gnumeric and the pdf files. The Print Preview screens show blank and when I click on file; print; and then the paper tab, the "Paper size" field is not bold and reads "no options are defined". I did define the paper in the web setup of cups and these programs do show the 890C as the printer. Of course, I am unable to print from these programs. Here is a little info: %pkg_info | grep cups cups-1.1.20.0 The Common UNIX Printing System: Metaport to install comple cups-base-1.1.20.0 The Common UNIX Printing System: headers, libs, & daemons cups-lpr-1.1.20.0 The CUPS BSD and system V compatibility binaries (lp* comma cups-pstoraster-7.07_1 GNU Postscript interpreter for CUPS printing to non-PS prin gnome-cups-manager-0.18_1,1 Admistration tool for cups libgnomecups-0.1.8,1 Support library for gnome cups admistration %cat /etc/printcap # This file was automatically generated by cupsd(8) from the # /usr/local/etc/cups/printers.conf file.
