FUJI-XEROX APEOS-PORT V C3375 PPD file

venanks · March 25, 2024, 7:37am

Hi all. Need some help from CUPS experts in getting this printer to work. Apparently we can use the MacOS version of the driver for this to work. The instructions can be found in LINSKILL REPO.

I tried to follow this and then installed / added the extracted and modified PPD file using YAST Printer. When I tried to print I get this error:

/usr/bin/lp: Unsupported document-format "application/postscript".

Hope some one can point me in the right direction.

Late here, so only a speculative guess… do you have ‘cups-filters’ package installed?

Printer supports PCL6, PCL5, optional PostScript 3. Try to use generic drivers.

+1 from me on that recommendation.

I tried to install generic PCL6 and generic Postscript, there was no error but then it didn’t print either. Yes, cups-filters package is installed.

I am not sure if this is because its a network printer and there is some sort of network security that is implemented at the campus level or just the driver doesn’t work.

This was the message I got from /var/log/cups/error_log:

W [26/Mar/2024:12:05:54 +0800] CreateProfile failed: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown:The name org.freedesktop.ColorManager was not provided by any .service files
W [26/Mar/2024:12:05:54 +0800] CreateDevice failed: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown:The name org.freedesktop.ColorManager was not provided by any .service files

Any other suggestions?

Returning to your opening post, how did you invoke the print job specifically?

Put CUPS into debug mode with

sudo cupsctl --debug-logging

Get the printer name as configured

lpstat -t

Substitute the printer name in the following command, and attempt to print a pdf file perhaps with something like

lp -d <printer_name>  /path/to/you/foo.pdf

Does that print successfully?

If not examine the CUPS error log…

egrep -iA3 "filter|error" /var/log/cups_error_log

This might tell us more.

You can discard those messages. They are not relevant to your printing issue.
