I have a problem connecting to a printer on my home network.
The printer is a Samsung that was previously connected to Tahr32 and working fine. My other computers automatically saw that printer in CUPS and could use it.
Now I have Xenial64 on the PC attached to the printer and I cannot connect to that printer via CUPS.
The tahr version of cups was about 1.4ish I think? Now Xenial uses 2.1.3 which has some network issue I believe. Probably a security "feature". Not sure.
Unable to print to a shared printer on Xenial64
Yes, CUPS is running normally.Is cups running normally?
Can you see the printer in cups.
Check the defaults . My browser was set to "auto " which did not work
I can see the printer on the server, not on any other PCs on the network.
What do you mean your browser was set to "auto"?
I have followed the instructions for setting up the P910nd print server. It works ok for Xen64 to Xen64, but my wife's older PC (that I'm not allowed to change, again) does not play.
When I click print test page in CUPS on that PC, it comes up with
Code: Select all
Unsupported format 'application/vnd.cups-banner'!
The PC with the error is running Carolina with upgraded CUPS to 1.4.8 .
Note, this PC printed perfectly to earlier CUPS on the print server

Is the new build using the old Ghostscript?
These are a few other mentions that popped up....
Unsupported format 'application/vnd.cups-raw'!
Maybe clear your /var/cache/cups directory?
foomatic?

Just a thought, Don....and a query?
You haven't by any chance installed Chrome on there, have you.....as a .deb package? Because if you have, it'll muck up all kinds of things, and give you permissions problems throughout Pup.
Debian/Ubuntu are multi-user systems,of course, and they adjust everything for a '/home' directory.....which Pup doesn't have. Unfortunately, CUPS is often one of the victims of this.
You can find instructions for fixing this at the top of post #1 of my Chrome thread, here:-
