I use Epson WF 7510 printer, and I can print in any quality I choose (draft/normal/best) using system tools (OS X). But I cannot change the quality of printing in command line: lp -o EPIJ_Qual=... has no effect. How can I change the quality of print?

I would like to know how to cleanly reset the printing system (CUPS) to its initial state. Alternatively, it may suffice for me to know how to take a "snapshot" of CUPS configuration and to roll back to it later. This is to debug the following issue, which I could reproduce on several occasions on Linux Mint 21 and on Ubuntu 22.04. After booting a freshly installed Linux Mint 21 or Ubuntu 22.04 and connecting the machine to my office LAN for the first time, network TOSHIBA e-STUDIO3015AC printers are automatically added to the list of printers as "driverless" and function properly. However, after restarting the machine and after the printers get first removed, then added back to the list, the selection of 2-sided printing in the printing dialog is getting ignored. (The printing becomes one-sided unless changed in the printer options, but if printer option is set to two-sided, then one-sided printing does not work.) I noticed that the second time the automatically generated /etc/cups/printers.conf file contains many extra lines compared to the first time the printers were used, including this one:

Option sides one-sided

*This is basically a duplicate of my question on AskUbuntu.*

I've converted an automatic printing system from Windows with Acrobat Reader to Ubuntu with CUPS. This took about 10 minutes using CUPS, but now I'm getting a strange issue with incomplete prints rolling out, or nothing being printed whatsoever after a while. CUPS reports seemingly arbitrary errors. Sometimes it doesn't even report an error, and most of the errors reported are "broken pipe" errors. Usually after adding a printer to CUPS it will print fine for a while. When I come back a few hours later and try the exact same thing (even with the same file), the file might not print at all or come out of the printer with elements missing. This might be an unrelated bug, but also after a while CUPS' web interface stops responding. All I can access after this happens is the HTTP version of the main page. A restart of CUPS fixes this. I'm running a fresh installation of CUPS, with only remote administration enabled. The issue persists even after doing a sudo service cups restart. I've added the printers in many different ways (socket, ldp, ipp), with both generic PCL6 drivers and the printers' official KPDL drivers. Directly after adding a printer the prints will usually come out as expected. I'm printing using the most basic command possible: lp -d [printer-name] [numbers].pdf. I'm running Ubuntu Server 16.04. The printers I've configured are a Kyocera ECOSYS FS-1370DN, and a Kyocera ECOSYS P2135dn. The printers do not seem to be the issue though, as a HP printer I've used exhibits the same issue. I've been trying to figure out what is going wrong for longer than I care to admit. And I'm starting to feel pretty stupid. Every time I think I've fixed it bad prints start rolling out soon after. Acrobat Reader/the Windows print spooler never has trouble printing, even while CUPS spits out garbage. Other things I've tried without success: - Converting to PostScript (.ps) using pdf2ps before printing - Converting to PDF using GhostScript (fixing possible PDF errors) before printing - Printing web-downloaded test PDFs known to have printed well before. This is the weird one that's defying all logic to me: Uploading the PDF files through ftp (the printers are capable of printing PDF) also only works sometimes. This completely circumvents CUPS, so it must be the printers right? But no, printing the same file through Acrobat Reader works fine. As it stands the only option I see is to convert the Ubuntu server to a VM with an expensive Windows Server VM running alongside it, only used for printing... There must be a solution to this issue. EDIT: I've set up CUPS on my Ubuntu Server 16.04 at home and configured a Canon MG8100 on it. The first few prints came out fine. The next morning, every job I added showed it completed, but actually nothing came out of the printer. This means it does not have anything to do with the printers. I added the MG8100 using LPD. CUPS error log states the below errors. Keep in mind that all these errors occur for the exact same file on different times, and that the file was printed successfully in the same manner before. E [26/Nov/2016:13:35:44 +0100] [Job 158] The printer is not responding. When this is logged no print is made and CUPS keeps retrying the job until it is abandoned. Other times it fails like this: W [29/Nov/2016:11:45:01 +0100] [Job 169] /var/spool/cups/d00169-001: file is damaged W [29/Nov/2016:11:45:01 +0100] [Job 169] /var/spool/cups/d00169-001 (file position 35596): xref not found W [29/Nov/2016:11:45:01 +0100] [Job 169] /var/spool/cups/d00169-001: Attempting to reconstruct cross-reference table Which will result in a mangled print (Random parts being printed, and others being left out).

How can I tell the lpr command (cups) that my file is actually a pdf? lpr file.pdf won't print anything.

I am running CrunchBang based on Debian 6. I can't do anything printer related. It is saying I am unauthenticated. I have tried: family@familydesktop:~$ sudo lppasswd -a family Enter password: Enter password again: family@familydesktop:~$ sudo lppasswd -a root Enter password: Enter password again: Yet I still can't add a printer. What do I do?

I have connected a networked HP laserjet printer and need to add it as a print queue using lpadmin which takes a URI parameter. However, I have seen different formats for the URI like: > ipp://1.2.3.4/ipp/print or just simply: > ipp://1.2.3.4 and many more. How do I know what URI my printer is expecting?

What should I do if jobs are getting stuck in the print queue even after restarting spooling? $ stopsrc -g spooler $ startsrc -g spooler $ lpstat -oQUEUENAME | wc -l; sleep 30; lpstat -oQUEUENAME | wc -l 139 139 $ oslevel 6.1.0.0

When printing with Linux is there an alternative to using CUPS ? After using it for a couple of weeks printing suddenly stopped working. The 'processing' light would come on and that would be the end. CUPS would list the job as finished. I cannot find any solution that works.

I asked here some months ago how to print and check results with lp command (CUPS) in Ubuntu. After few working around, I was able to print normal text files. I was able to print selecting some options (double sided print, media size, paper tray input, etc.) I got the linux drivers here (PPD files): https://www.openprinting.org/download/PPD/ Now I have a little problem: When I send a .pdf file to the printer (Ricoh MP Aficio 1106 EX connected by TCP-IP), the print goes slow, getting +30 seconds to send the file to the printer. The .txt files print at the moment I send them. Do you have any idea how to solve it? I tryied change the socket of the machine to 9100 port, but that only generates errors. EDIT1: I tryied using LPR command, instead LP: lpr -sPrinterIP /absolute/path/to/file.pdf But works slowly too. EDIT2: I installed qz-tray, a kind of print server/API. When I try PDF demo, it prints slow too. EDIT3: I tryied now with default PDF viewer (EVINCE) because I though I have a lack of memory and printed the same file. It worked well, at normal speed. EDIT4: I tyied some other drivers (generic and recomended by the printer maker ones), same speed. EDIT5: I found this link: https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Using_Your_Own_Filters_to_Print_with_CUPS But cannot understand if filtering is "f..king me off", because my printer is a PCL one (and i am using a pxl driver...). Could anyone explain me this? EDIT 6: Found the origin of the problem: When I print a text-only-pdf file, it works like a charm. But when I send an image-pdf file, the print enters in a pre-print process (I cannot completely assure this) and get +30seconds to send any package to printer (this checked with wireshark). I can asume that PPD file (driver file provided by Ricoh Support) has anything in the code that send any order to process the file. I found this in the PPD file. I think is the root of this slowing problem: *%========== Ghostscript Command line ========== *FoomaticRIPCommandLine: "(printf '\033%%-12345X@PJL\n@PJL JOB\n@PJL SET COPIES=&copies;\n'%G|perl -p -e "s/\x26copies\x3b/1/" (gs -q -dBATCH -dPARANOIDSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dNOMEDIAATTRS -dNOINTERPOLATE %B%A%C %D%E | perl -p -e "s/^\x1b\x25-12345X//" | perl -p -e "s/\xc1\x01\x00\xf8\x31\x44/\x44/g" (printf '@PJL\n@PJL EOJ\n\033%%-12345X&apos" *End Found this article https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/printing-foomatic/2012/002791.html taht confirms my ideas: the ppd driver is rendering all files with ghostcript. EDIT 7: Ricoh support told me that "lp" printing command may be using "default PDF viewer" to process the file, and slow the print process. I don't know how to check it. Thanks a lot.

I have a shared over the network printer connected via USB to a Windows box. I am printing from my Linux laptop with Pop_OS 19.10 but sometimes it will say that the print Job is complete but actually hasn't printed anything. I've already saw a loo of people with the same problem however, in my case it happens randomly. Today I've received an email with two pdfs. The first pdf I've tried to print didn't print, the second one printed without any problem. I've tried to print again the first pdf, just to check, but I had the same problem again. This has been happening to me for the couple of weeks or so. Up to that time I had no problem printing from my linux laptop.

I'm trying to print duplex on my Samsung M2070 Printer. I installed the driver from the Samsung website with the provided install.sh and then added the printer to the system in the Printers section of the System Preferences. I see the Printer in LibreOffice Writer, and I can print with it, but there isn't a duplex function in the print window (On Win7 there is a Checkbox). Do you have any ideas? **Update** I clicked on "Print" in LibreOffice and then "Properties" and "Paper". I saw the disabled duplex combobox. I thought on a driver issue, so i went to CUPS administration to check my driver. It wrote, that my driver is able to print duplex.

I have setup KVM on Ubuntu 17.10 (host) and have Windows 10 running as guest OS on it. Attached to the computer is a USB printer. I would like to be able to print from the guest OS. Printer works fine when printing from host, but I cannot print from guest OS. So far, the guest OS has been able to successfully connect to the outside world and can even access other computers on the Windows network. I have looked around SE but only found answers to VirtualBox or Linux guest.

When printing a PDF using Atril document viewer, I get the following weird behaviour. The needed printer is the one dissapearing (it is a **network** printer, using Line Printer Deamon protocol, *lpd*). Yet, when opening the PDF using a browser, printer is available: This happened since today. I ran sudo apt-get upgrade last week but printed fine after that (here is the list of upgraded packages). Using Xubuntu 22.04.1.

I have the following problem: I setup my printer **EPSON stylus SX525WD** via CUPS. To do so, I: 1. Accessed the web interface at http://localhost:631/admin 2. Clicked on "Add printer" 3. Selected *EPSON656CC1 (Epson Stylus SX525WD) (Epson Stylus SX525WD)* at *Discovered network printers* 4. This provides me with the following address: *dnssd://EPSON656CC1%20(Epson%20Stylus%20SX525WD)._printer._tcp.local/* 5. When I finish the setup, the printer is listed under the *Printers* tab in the web interface, the status is *Idle*.

So at the moment I'm quite confused why I can't reach the printer when I ping it, but the CUPS web interface finds it when using the automatic setup wizard when adding a new printer as well as running lpstat -t. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what to try next? I couldn't find anything similar in https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/CUPS/Troubleshooting and I don't really understand what to make of the traceroute results. Any help is much appreciated :)

I have to PC and netbook runs on fedora * PC - Fedora 21 (Workstation) * Netbook - Fedora LXDE Both of these computers are connected to the same network (PC wired and netbook wireless) My HP Deskjet 1010 printer is connected to the PC via a USB cable. I want to enable printing over network for my netbook.

Debian 11 (bullseye). Recently I installed new printer Brother HL-L2400DW, it have USB and wireless connectivity. I have CUPS on http://localhost:631/printers/ The problem is printer have a very long delay (~10min) before it starts printing via WiFi. It stays in "deep sleep" mode, and it may take up to 10 minutes to start printing. I tried restart CUPS but it doesn't change anything. I'm printing from LibreOffice Writer, relatively small docs. error_log EDIT: The issue seems to be with the CUPS server related. CUPS for Linux lacks the clear manual how to use web-based administration tool to manage printers and jobs on server. Before reconfiguring CUPS I had only one entry on the CUPS printers page *http://localhost:631/printers*: HLL2400DW HLL2400DW Brother HL-L2400DW for CUPS Logically, this is quite correct, as I have only one printer, and I used Brother Driver Install Tool and I followed vendor manual how to configure printer. Connection: lpd://local_IP/BINARY_P1 However, it turns out that this is not enough for CUPS. Solution was to go to the CUPS admin UI (http://localhost:631/admin), then add the printer using the first option for a network printer CUPS itself detected. "Add Printer" > "Discovered Network Printers" > choose the first option Now CUPS Printer page shows two printers: Brother_HL-L2400DW Brother HL-L2400DW Home Lab Printer - IPP Everywhere HLL2400DW HLL2400DW Brother HL-L2400DW for CUPS but in Writer "Print" menu now I have 5 printers under different(!) names. So all this just adds the confusion.

As you know, latex documents often have quite a substantial amount of page margin. I don't like that. The printing dialog offers the option to print the document scaled up (let's say 120%), but then the whole document is moved towards the bottom-right corner. How to center such enlarged pdf? I'd prefer a solution that does not involve preprocessing of the pdf in any way, because it is just one more step (and I am already doing it with pdfjam - looking for a better way).

I am trying to print to Epson WorkForce WF-2650 All-In-One Inkjet PRinter from my Arch Linux desktop. Both the desktop and the printer are in network range

.168.0.1/24

. 1. Initialize Printer Service The first thing I did was to install CUPS.

sudo pacman -Syu cups cups-pdf

Then I enabled then started the service.

sudo systemctl enable cups
sudo systemctl start cups

2. Add Printer After setting up the printing service I tried to add the printer via Gnome Print. I was able to locate the printer by ip but as soon as clicked add I got

to add new printer.

Since that failed I moved to the CUPS web page on

:631

. On navigating

> Printers > Add Printer

I saw my printer in

Network Printers

. When I hit

it identified the connection as

://192.168.0.156:515/PASSTHRU

. However there were only two models to choose from:

-Pin Series

and

-Pin Series

which do not correspond to my printer. So I fell back to the Generic drivers. I tried printing a small PDF file with the

IPP Everywhere Printer

and

PDF Printer

drivers but neither of them printed properly. In both cases I got plaintext gibberish. Command

-p WF2650 -E -v lpd://192.168.0.156:515 -m everywhere

did not work either, so I started searching for functional drivers. 3. Find Printer Drivers When I searched the official repository , I only found one package for scanner drivers and no printer drivers. Nonetheless I did try

pacman -Syu imagescan

and it did succeed but no printer drivers. Then I visited AUR and found a lot of Epson-related packages . There were two AURs and I wasn't sure which one covered my printer so I tried both. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2 For both AURs I downloaded the snapshot containing the

, extracted then cd'd to it. Then I downloaded the source in that directory and tried to install each. Unfortunately both attempts failed.

sudo pacman -U ./epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2-1.2.3-1.tar.gz 
loading packages...
error: missing package metadata in ./epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2-1.2.3-1.tar.gz

error: missing package metadata in ./epson-inkjet-printer-escpr-1.8.0-1.src.rpm
error: './epson-inkjet-printer-escpr-1.8.0-1.src.rpm': invalid or corrupted package

Then I went to the official Epson download page and searched . Unfortunately only

and

packages are provided . I considered converting one of the two into a compatible format but the site suggested against it. >If you want to use the driver other than the above distribution, >we recommend that you build from the source file and install it. Is it okay install the

package with

on Arch? Would it break my system? If it is not an option what should I do from here?

System: Debian 12. I get an error message in CUPS after having installed a PPD file (from Settings > Printers). Here is the message: "Use "pdftops-renderer" option (see cups-filters README file) to use Ghostscript or MuPDF for the PDF -> PostScript conversion." I have the same message with another printer after installing the driver. If I don't install the PPD files, I don't get the error message, and printing succeeds… but of course, I don't benefit from the options of the driver. The same PPD files worked fine on Debian 10. Edit (thanks a lot, @thecarpy): here are some logs that seem to me more relevant: W [24/Feb/2025:18:29:50 +0100] CreateProfile failed: org.freedesktop.ColorManager.AlreadyExists:profile id \'Xerox_WorkCentre_3225_XRX9C934E42F10A-Gray..\' already exists W [24/Feb/2025:18:29:50 +0100] CreateProfile failed: org.freedesktop.ColorManager.AlreadyExists:profile id \'Xerox_WorkCentre_3225_XRX9C934E42F10A-DeviceN..\' already exists W [24/Feb/2025:19:00:55 +0100] [Job 8] Grayscale/monochrome printing requested for this job but Poppler is not able to convert to grayscale/monochrome PostScript.

On macOS, the creation of banner pages for cups is simple: you create a file prepended with #CUPS-BANNER and then write certain parameters for headers, footers, and information to be displayed. Example from [CUPS' website](https://www.cups.org/doc/spec-banner.html) :

#CUPS-BANNER

# What to show on the cover page
Show job-id job-name job-originating-user-name time-at-creation

# The header and footer text
Header Cover Page
Footer Cover Page

# Arbitrary "notice" text
Notice All work and no play makes Johnny a dull boy.
Notice All work and no play makes Johnny a dull boy.
Notice All work and no play makes Johnny a dull boy.
Notice All work and no play makes Johnny a dull boy.

This is how the all job sheets are stored. On linux, CUPS banners are stored in files called _PDF_ banners. These banners draw from some template that is a pdf file and contain certain attributes (example from my system):

#PDF-BANNER
Template secret.pdf
Show printer-name printer-info printer-location printer-make-and-model printer-driver-name printer-driver-version paper-size imageable-area job-id options time-at-creation time-at-processing

_(/usr/share/cups/banners/secret and template is at /usr/share/cups/data/secret.pdf)_ The question for me is how to make my own PDF banner for printing. On macOS the answer is obvious but on Linux it is considerably harder because I don't know what is done to these template PDFs to make them filled in dynamically in such a way. I even heard somewhere that CUPS supports postscript and ascii banners.
