Common Linux problems

CONDITION

SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS

“File in Use”
message appears
during installation.

Exit all software applications. Remove all

software from the StartUp Group, then restart

Windows. Reinstall the printer driver.

“General Protection
Fault”, “Exception
OE”, “Spool32”, or
“Illegal Operation”
messages appear.

Close all other applications, reboot Windows

and try printing again.

“Fail To Print”, “A
printer timeout error
occurred.” messages
appear.

These messages may appear during printing.

Just keep waiting until the machine finishes

printing. If the message appears in ready mode

or after printing has been completed, check the

connection and/or whether an error has

occurred.

Refer to the Microsoft Windows documentation that came with your

computer for further information on Windows error messages.

CONDITION

SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS

The machine does
not print.

Check if the printer driver is installed in your

system. Open Unified Driver Configurator

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,

please, 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, please, 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.

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.

Some color images
come out all black.

This is a known bug in Ghostscript (until GNU

Ghostscript version 7.05) when the base color

space of the document is indexed color space

and it is converted through CIE color space.

Because Postscript uses CIE color space for

Color Matching System, you should upgrade

Ghostscript on your system to at least GNU

Ghostscript version 7.06 or later. You can find

recent Ghostscript versions at

www.ghostscript.com.

Some color images
come out in
unexpected color.

This is a known bug in Ghostscript (until GNU

Ghostscript version 7.xx) when the base color

space of the document is indexed RGB color

space and it is converted through CIE color

space. Because Postscript uses CIE color

space for Color Matching System, you should

upgrade Ghostscript on your system to at least

GNU Ghostscript version 8.xx or later. You can

find recent Ghostscript versions at

www.ghostscript.com.

The machine does
not print whole pages
and its output is half
page printed.

It is a known problem that occurs when a color

printer is used on version 8.51 or earlier of

Ghostscript, 64-bit Linux OS, and reported to

bugs.ghostscript.com as Ghostscript Bug

688252.

The problem is solved in AFPL Ghostscript v.

8.52 or above. Download the latest version of

AFPL Ghostscript from http://sourceforge.net/

projects/ghostscript/ and install it to solve this

problem.

I encounter error
“Unable to open mfp
port device file!”
when printing a
document.

Please avoid changing print job parameters (via

LPR GUI, for example) while a print job is in

progress. Known versions of CUPS server

break the print job whenever print options are

changed and then try to restart the job from the

beginning. Since Unified Linux Driver locks mfp

port while printing, the abrupt termination of the

driver keeps the port locked and therefore

unavailable for subsequent print jobs. If this

situation occurred, please, try to release the

mfp port.

When printing a
document over the
network in SuSE 9.2,
the printer does not
print.

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).

Refer to Linux User’s Guide that came with your computer for further

information on Linux error messages.
