25 Jan 11 - 12:03 PM (#3082150) Subject: RE: Printer Problems From: GUEST,Jon I doubt if I can help but what is your printer and Ubuntu version? I've only had one occasion where prints disappeared into a black hole. That only affected colour prints on my Epson. It turned out to be a bug in ghostscript 8.64 which caused problems for lots of different printer makes and models. Changing to Ghostscript 8.70 fixed it. |

It kept eating paper and generally doing a half ass job so I gave it a "Factory authorized thump: and that did it. It now resides in the recycle bin in a rather smashed condition. The new Kodak works well. |

Among other things, Lady Hillary and I work the computer section of our regional rummage sale--first weekend in May for those near us--we reject more printers than we accept. Either they are in garbage shape or they are so old that it is not worth the effort to check them out. |

It turned out to be that I had removed freeware and removed a couple of shared files with it, including one vital to the USB ports. My solution was drastic in the end, so I won't suggest you follow it. |
