need help with printer diagnosis log

English Hardware
#1

Running opensuse 11.4 with Gnome on a Toshiba Satellite A200. Working away from home (far), I have a Dell 720 printer. Apparently the Lexmark 600 driver will run it. I succeeded in finding and installing the driver, but it fails to print. It gives me an error notice and offers to diagnose the problem. However, when I look at the log, I have no idea what to look for. I’ll paste the log (a long one) below. Thank-you. (too long for one post, so I’ll post two more with the rest of the log)

With verbose output like this, you should use SUSE Paste or similar, then post only the link to it here. For shorter otuput, please enclose in code tags.

Mmmm, no. Big logs are pasted into susepaste.org, or any other pastebin
you like. And what you paste into the forum has to go inside code tags
to be readable.

I don’t know where you obtained the driver from, or if you installed it without errors, but I note

D [19/Jan/2013:19:33:50 -0600] [Job 477] dellphotoprinter720: error  while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared  object file: No such file or directory
D [19/Jan/2013:19:33:50 -0600] PID 7725 (/usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertoz600) stopped with status 127!

Do you have libstdc++33-32bit installed? (That provides /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.5)

rpm -qa |grep libstdc

This may be the tip of the iceberg with an unsupported driver!

#8

Sorry about the long code. I knew I had seen something about long code and also the code marks, but did not know where to find instructions on that.

What I understand from deano_ferrari is that the driver I have is for a 64 bit system. I didn’t have libstdc++33 installed. I just did so and will see whether that helps. Thanks.

#9

The printer prints - black, no colour - so you are right; it is the tip of the iceberg.
I can live with this; but just as a comment - I spent hours over several evenings hunting for a driver under opensuse and suse in Yast and online, but found no opensuse rpm’s that included the Lexmark 600 or the 615 - which is also supposed to work. There were lots of other Lexmark drivers, but not those. I finally found some packaged driver that installed.

And again, sorry about all the code: from deano’s link to suse paste I’ve now learned how to find it (no obvious links on the forum webpage that I’ve seen so far) and pasted the code into there at SUSE Paste
I don’t seem to be able to edit my old posts and remove all that code, or I would.

#10

Yes, open source support for some Lexmark models is weak - not helped by the attitude of the manufacturer towards Linux. Anyway, I remember an old thread on this subject:

https://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/hardware/479931-dell-a10-922-photo-printer.html#post2499178

which linked to this guide

I presume you followed this guide too?

#11

The printer prints - black, no colour - so you are right; it is the tip of the iceberg.

Sorry to ask the obvious, but from what I’ve read, these have a colour and black cartridge, is that right? Check printing options etc.

If you’re positive that it is due to the driver, then it could be down to the ppd file for this printer in the /etc/cups/ppd/directory. Now, these can be edited if required, and it may be that this section of the ppd needs tweaking

*OpenUI *ColorModel/Output Mode: PickOne
*OrderDependency: 10 AnySetup *ColorModel 
*DefaultColorModel: Color
*ColorModel Color/Color: "<</cupsColorOrder 0/cupsColorSpace 1/cupsBitsPerColor 8/cupsRowCount 0>>setpagedevice"
*ColorModel Black/Grayscale: "<</cupsColorOrder 0/cupsColorSpace 1/cupsBitsPerColor 8/cupsRowCount 1>>setpagedevice"
*CloseUI: *ColorModel

These parameters are described here:

Unfortunately with Linux you have to verify printer support before
shopping. I had a Canon, and to get good printouts I had to get the
comercial drivers from turboprint (inexpensive for the results). Now I’m
the happy owner of a fully supported HP.

Maybe you can post now the output after adding that library, with the
new errors.

Only a mod can do that.

The printing option is set to colour. I’ve also just checked the code and it is exactly as the code below.
Colour would be nice, but B&W will do. Thanks.
