and switch to the Printers tab in Printers
configuration window to look at the list of
available printers. Make sure that your
machine is displayed on the list. If not, invoke
Add new printer wizard to set up your device.
• Check if the printer is started. Open Printers
configuration and select your machine on the
printers list. Look at the description in the
Selected printer pane. If its status contains
"(stopped)" string, press the Start button.
After that normal operation of the printer
should be restored. The "stopped" status
might be activated when some problems in
printing occurred. For instance, this could be
an attempt to print document when port is
claimed by a scanning application.
• Check if the port is not busy. Since functional
components of MFP (printer and scanner)
share the same I/O interface (port), the
situation of simultaneous access of different
"consumer" application to the same port is
possible. To avoid possible conflicts, only
one of them at a time is allowed to gain
control over the device. The other
"consumer" will encounter "device busy"
response. You should open ports
configuration and select the port assigned to
your printer. In the Selected port pane you
can see if the port is occupied by some other
application. If this is the case, you should
wait for completion of the current job or
should press Release port button, if you are
sure that the present owner is not functioning
properly.
• Check if your application has special print
option such as "-oraw". If "-oraw" is specified
in the command line parameter then remove
it to print properly. For Gimp front-end, select
"print" -> "Setup printer" and edit command
line parameter in the command item.
• The CUPS (Common Unix Printing System)
version distributed with SuSE Linux 9.2
(cups-1.1.21) has a problem with ipp
(Internet Printing Protocol) printing.Use the
socket printing instead of ipp or install later
version of CUPS (cups-1.1.22 or higher).
