(Get the code!)
Hi all,
I have what sounds like a similar problem to others on this thread.
My setup is Ubuntu 7.04 (Desktop, 32bit) on an AMD 64 3200+ with a gig of DDR Ram. I have two printers:
* A monochrome HP LaserJet 6L connected on LPT1,
* A Konica Minolta 2530DL Network attached colour laser printer.
The HP Laserjet printer is fine all the time.
The 2530DL works fine "most of the time" but sometimes the printer will take an "age (30mins+) to print something. Opening the print queue and looking at the printer properties gives me messages such as - network host busy trying again in 30secs, or the job might be printing but the percentage complete sits at odd figures like 36% for ages.
Repeatedly opening and closing the printer queue and pausing and resuming things doesn't seem to make much difference. It is this end that is the problem, the print job is not being sent to the printer, it's not that the printer is taking an age to process the job itself.
The weird thing is, that once the printer bursts into life, all subsequent jobs are fine... for a while at least.
I'm happy to do some digging if someone has some decent questions!
