The Linux Printing Usage HOWTO: Troubleshooting
This section covers some common things that can go wrong with your printing
system.
If your printer doesn't work:
- Do other print jobs work? (application problem?)
- Is lpd running? (check it using lpc) (print controller?)
- Can root send something directly to the printer? (print services?)
- Can you print from DOS? (cable/printer problem?)
Answering these questions can help find a solution.
