Printing problems with Minolta Page Pro 1250W

Hello Forum, Hoping someone can help me with the problem I have.

I am running 13.1 and have the title printer attached via USB. Yast correctly recognizes the printer but I cannot print the test page or anything else.

The CUPS error log returns the following:

E [12/Aug/2014:16:31:10 -0400] Unable to bind socket for address [v1.::1]:631 - Address already in use.
E [12/Aug/2014:16:31:10 -0400] Unable to bind socket for address 127.0.0.1:631 - Address already in use.

The page log yields:

PagePro-1250W root 21 [12/Aug/2014:20:19:39 -0400] 1 1 - localhost YaST2testprint_PagePro-1250W - -
PagePro-1250W root 22 [12/Aug/2014:20:21:08 -0400] 1 1 - localhost YaST2testprint_PagePro-1250W - -
PagePro-1250W root 22 [12/Aug/2014:20:21:08 -0400] 2 1 - localhost YaST2testprint_PagePro-1250W - -

The access log yields:

localhost - - [13/Aug/2014:00:09:38 -0400] “POST / HTTP/1.1” 200 183 Renew-Subscription successful-ok
localhost - - [13/Aug/2014:19:06:28 -0400] “POST / HTTP/1.1” 200 360 Create-Printer-Subscription successful-ok

Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks. . .I am still a beginning hack. LOL.

Did you download the required driver for it, before trying configure?

http://www.openprinting.org/driver/min12xxw

What is reported by the following?

lpstat -s

Thanks for the response.

Requested output:

john@linux-ingr:~> lpstat -s
no system default destination
device for PagePro-1250W: usb://MINOLTA-QMS/PagePro%201250W

That is probably my problem.

Which driver should be downloaded? RPM for LSB 3.2 (64 bit?) I am not sure how to go about getting it installed. Could you help?

Thank you.

I went through the driver installation. The driver seems to be installed.

And did you then reconfigure? Try manually reconfiguring using the CUPS web interface

localhost:631/admin

This is strange. When I go to YAST to configure, it cannot find the driver that seems to be installed. The driver is not in the available list. How do I get the driver to show up as an option in YAST printer configuration?

I don’t usually use the YaST printer utility to configure (so I’m not very familiar with it), but I just noted that when I did, I had to click on ‘Driver Packages’, then I could see a list of driver packages, including the ‘min2300w:Driver for Konica Minolta…’ which could be selected. Maybe that applies to you too?

Otherwise, use your favourite browser to configure

http://localhost:631/admin

*Use your root credentials when prompted. Follow the instructions given there.

Thanks for your help.

The driver you mentioned I also at one time saw in the list… but that is the wrong driver for mine.

Now YAST is giving me an error box saying "* No locally running CUPS daemon is accessibl*e". And it fails to now even identify the printer.

Furthermore I now have a situation where I cannot reach the 631 url that you gave. I was there before, but now it is unreachable. I am really lost as to what is going on.

I went through the following thread but did not really find any help there.

https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/484492-Cups-http-localhost-631-admin-gone-missing

It shouldn’t be. I checked by installing the package, and the 1250W is included, (and listed when I ‘pretend’ to configure for this model which I don’t actually have.)

Now YAST is giving me an error box saying "* No locally running CUPS daemon is accessibl*e". And it fails to now even identify the printer.

Furthermore I now have a situation where I cannot reach the 631 url that you gave. I was there before, but now it is unreachable. I am really lost as to what is going on.

I went through the following thread but did not really find any help there.

Check cupsd status (root terminal) with

systemctl status cups

If necessary start it

systemctl start cups

I know that I am suppose to print code a certain way but I cannot remember how to do it. Here is the output for the Cups status:

I am getting another error message from YAST It reads as follows:

The CUPS daemon seems not to listen on the official IANA IPP port (631).
Check with ‘netstat -nap | grep cupsd’ where the cupsd actually listens.
This happens when there is a ‘Listen …:1234’ or ‘Port 1234’ setting
(where 1234 means any port number which is not the official port 631)
in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf (check also if there is ‘BrowsePort 1234’).
The YaST printer module does not support a non-official port.
A non-official port leads to an endless sequence of further failures.
If you really must use a non-official port, you cannot use
the YaST printer module to configure your printers.

Here is the output from the netstat command.

linux-ingr:/home/john # netstat -nap | grep cupsd
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:631 0.0.0.0:* 10444/cupsd
unix 3 ] STREAM CONNECTED 712093 10444/cupsd

Can this output help you in helping me? Thanks

You’re referring to enclosing output within

[/CO..] tags. The web editor has a '#' icon for generating these.

Okay, so CUPS is running

I'm working on it... :)

For reference, I get

netstat -nap|grep cups

tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:631 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 613/cupsd
tcp 0 0 :::631 :::* LISTEN 613/cupsd

unix 3 ] STREAM CONNECTED 10072 613/cupsd

Can you check /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, and make sure first few lines look like the following

LogLevel warn
SystemGroup sys root

Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock

Here is partial output:

Should I add line “port 631” ?

Thank you for your help. Much appreciated.

Okay, I did add the Port 631 line and I got my YAST functionality back. It sees the driver but will not print. Here is the output of the error file.

What is a filter error?

Good.

However, I still cannot print.

Can you please start over by deleting the printer configuration. I’d like to once again suggest that you configure it using the CUPS admin page, and manually add via ‘Add Printer’. Follow the prompts given. When I did a ‘dummy’ install, I could select make as ‘Minolta’ and model ‘Minolta Page Pro, 1250W, min12xxw, 0.0.9,…’. Once you have finished, try a test print from the ‘Maintenance’ menu.

BTW, the configuration process with set up the URI in /etc/cups/printers.conf, and a corresponding .ppd file in /etc/cups/ppd/ directory. The beginning of the .ppd file contains the following (for comparison purposes)

You can see the driver (filter) defined as ‘min12xxw’. Make sure you have the correct .ppd file.

See how that goes.

After I enter the id and password I get

ADD PRINTER ERROR

Unable to add printer

Forbidden

Use ‘root’ and root’s password. (I did explain that previously.)

Sorry, I did not catch the idea of uid being ‘root’

I went through the process. No change. Still get the error: usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip failed. I specified the ppd file specific for my printer. Any other ideas? Thanks for your help.

On the Archlinux Forum, I found a thread where the owner of an HP was getting the exact same error.

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/15386

He solved his problem by:

'it works now.
i reinstalled all archlinux packages. pacman -S cups hplip foomatic-db ghostscript."

Can this information be used for you to help in my case? Thanks.
