Printing problem

[Kjetil Halvorsen]

Hola!

I am connected to a (non-local) printer on the local network. The printer
works nice from windows macines, but from ubuntu
(neither 8.04 nor 8.10) am I able to print. What might be the problem. I am
using the troubleshooting guide, which cannot
solve the problem, but gives the following information output:

Page 1 (Choose printer):
{'cups_dest': <cups.Dest object at 0x8c4de40>,
 'cups_instance': None,
 'cups_queue': 'LaserJet-1005',
 'cups_queue_listed': True}
Page 2 (Check printer sanity):
{'cups_device_uri_scheme': u'socket',
 'cups_printer_dict': {'device-uri': u'socket://
172.16.150.143/Impresora:9100',
                       'printer-info': u'LaserJet-1005',
                       'printer-is-shared': True,
                       'printer-location': u'172.16.150.143/Impresora',
                       'printer-make-and-model': u'HP LaserJet 1005
Foomatic/foo2zjs (recommended)',
                       'printer-state': 3,
                       'printer-state-message': u'No %%BoundingBox: comment
in header!',
                       'printer-state-reasons': [u'connecting-to-device'],
                       'printer-type': 36868,
                       'printer-uri-supported':
u'ipp://localhost:631/printers/LaserJet-1005'},
 'is_cups_class': False}
Page 3 (Printer state reasons):
{'printer-state-message': 'No %%BoundingBox: comment in header!',
 'printer-state-reasons': 'connecting-to-device'}
Page 4 (Print test page):
{'test_page_attempted': True,
 'test_page_job_id': [13],
 'test_page_job_status': [(13, 'LaserJet-1005', 'Test Page')],
 'test_page_successful': False}
Page 5 (Printer state reasons):
{'printer-state-message': 'Attempting to connect to host 172.16.150.143 on
port 9100',
 'printer-state-reasons': 'connecting-to-device'}


Hopefully this can lead somebody to a solution.

Greetings,

"Perhaps there is no such thing as unilateral power. After all, the man 'in
power' depends on receiving information all the time from outside. He
responds to that information just as much as he 'causes' things to
happen...it is an interaction, and not a lineal situation. But the myth of
power is, of course, a very powerful myth, and probably most people in this
world more or less believe in it. It is a myth, which, if everybody believes
in it, becomes to that extent self-validating. But it is still
epistemological lunacy and leads inevitably to various sorts of disaster."
