Problems Printing in 6.3

dukepro

I ran into a problem printing schematic pages in 6.3.0 on linux.  A job

is submitted to the CUPS, but nothing ever prints.  Reverting back to

6.2 avoids the problem.

 

Has anyone seen a similar problem?  If so, how did you fix it?

 

Thanks,

    - Chuck

    I run 6.3.0 on Gentoo, and printing via CUPS from Eagle works fine for me.

    Typically, though, I just print to PDF and do my printing from a PDF viewer.

    You might want to try that to help isolate the issue.

     

    Whenever I have CUPS issues I always look at the following:

     

    1) the CUPS web interface at http://localhost:631. Occasionally the error

    message shown besides the printer there is useful. Often it isn't.

     

    2) more often, I end up examining the CUPS error log in /var/log/cups.

    Changing the LogLevel variable in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf to 'debug' (then

    restarting CUPS) will spew tons of information in the logs and usually show

    what is tripping up the output.

     

    The paths I show above may not be the same paths used on your distribution.
