Hi,

I have installed cups in my Beagleboard black running on Debian 7 using 'apt-get install' command. I am trying to print to HP deskjet 1112 usb printer from system line but nothing is getting printed and the output of 'lpstat -t' shows the error : " /usr/lib/cups/filter/hpcups failed "

The error_log output is :

Request help to identify the issue

Only FYI:

As far as I see this has nothing to do with CUPS.

As far as I see the first error message comes from Ghostscript:
"Unable to open the initial device, quitting"
(this is in Ghostscript's gs_init.ps file).

Therefore Ghostscript does not produce any output which
lets then the filter from HP's HPLIP driver software
error out with "cupsRasterOpen failed" and finally
the HP backend errors out with "ERROR: null print job".

Neither Ghostscript nor HP's HPLIP driver software
belong to CUPS so that the issue does not belong to CUPS
(according to my analysis).

I guess that somehow the "Ghostscript command line"
is not correct or does not work as it should.
Usually this is alos no bug in Ghostscript but
"somewhere else" where the Ghostscript command line
with all its parameters is created.

I recommed to analyze what the actual root cause is
that you report this issue at your Linux distribution.

Addendum FYI:

On my SLES12 system with CUPS 1.7.5 and Ghostscript 9.18

that "Ghostscript command line" works:

Thank you for the comments.. I will raise this in the distributor's forum.

Meanwhile I tried to use cups 1.7.5 but after building and installing it, I am getting error :

lpstat: symbol lookup error: lpstat: undefined symbol: _cupsStrDate

I recompiled with -fPIC in CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS but the error is still coming..

We do not support or develop the software/driver you are using. Please contact the developer for assistance.

"hpcups" is part of the HPLIP driver package.

Hi Joahnnes,

I have reinstalled CUPS in a fresh OS and tried to print but the error is still occuring. However the error log message is a bit different. If you are able to deduct something from this, it would be a great help.

In the first lines itself, we can see error message unable to open listen socket. Also FindDevicebyID is not able to find the installed printer.

You can ignore the messages that belong to CUPS itself
(consider them as "false-positives" in your case) because
they have nothing to do with your failed print job processing.

In your case the cupsd does what it is supposed to do.
It accepts your print job and it starts the filters and the backend.
Then the filters and backend need to do the actual print job
processing work.
The cupsd does not do any actual print job processing work.
The cupsd only waits for the filters and backend
until they are completed.

In your case the filters fail as I already described.

The filters and backend belong to various software packages
(e.g. cups-filters, Ghostscript, HPLIP) that all are totally
separated from CUPS (in particular cups-filters does not belong
to CUPS but to OpenPrinting.org).

You need to trust us at least initially that when our initial
analysis indicates that the issue does not belong to CUPS,
then it really does not belong to CUPS (with very high probability)
so that it does not make much sense when you do something with CUPS.

Note that usually it is also no bug in Ghostscript itself
when a particular Ghostscript command line fails.

In particular "Unable to open the initial device, quitting"
is no bug in Ghostscript itself (with probability one,
cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almost_surely)
but "somewhere else" that made the Ghostscript command line,

see gs_init.ps

% If the initial device parameters are invalid, the setdevice may fail.
% Trap this and produce a reasonable error message.
{ setdevice } % does an erasepage
INITDEBUG { exec //false } { .internalstopped } ifelse {
(**** Unable to open the initial device, quitting.) = flush 1 .quit

} if

Accordingly it looks as if one or more of the various parameters
in your Ghostscript command line are invalid.

For example on my SLES12 system with CUPS 1.7.5 and Ghostscript 9.18

the following simpler Ghostscript command line also works:

cat /usr/share/ghostscript/9.18/examples/colorcir.ps \

| /usr/bin/gs -dQUIET -dPARANOIDSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH
-dNOINTERPOLATE -sDEVICE=cups -sstdout=%stderr
-sOutputFile=%stdout -c -f -_
| cat - >/tmp/gs.out

INFO: Start rendering...
INFO: Processing page 1...
INFO: Processing page 2...

INFO: Rendering completed

What do the above Ghostscript command lines result on your system?
Does it work with all those parameters?
Does the simpler one work?
If it fails with all those parameters but the simpler one works,
find out by trial and error what exact parameter(s) make it fail
and then report that to your Linux distribution.

You really need to analyze at your Linux distribution
what the actual root cause is why the Ghostscript
command line fails in your particular case.

Afterwards - i.e. when that specific root cause is found - it
might indicate an issue in whatever specific part of the overall
printing related software stack so that finally that specific
issue can be reported at the matching upstream software project.

CUPS.org User: h.blischke

Ison, are you sure your Ghostscript has the cups device compiled in?
Tot test this, execute
gs -h | grep cups
the result should look similar to
chp2200 cif cljet5 cljet5c cljet5pr coslw2p coslwxl cp50 cups declj250
^^^^^
if the cups device is compiled in.

CUPS.org User: isonthomas

Thank you Johannes, I will try to change the ghostscript command options (I am new to this and need to figure out how... ).

@h. Blischke, I confirmed that the ghostscript has the cups device is compiled in. The output of gs -h | grep cups is:

chp2200 cif cljet5 cljet5c cljet5pr coslw2p coslwxl cp50 cups declj250
/usr/share/cups/fonts : /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts :
Thank you

CUPS.org User: jsmeix.suse

Helge Blischke, only FYI:

When calling Ghostscript with a device that it does not know

the error message is different:

cat /usr/share/ghostscript/9.18/examples/colorcir.ps \

| /usr/bin/gs -dQUIET -dPARANOIDSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH
-sDEVICE=qqq -sstdout=%stderr -sOutputFile=%stdout -c -f -_
| cat - >/tmp/gs.out

Unknown device: qqq
Unrecoverable error: syntaxerror in --nostringval--
Operand stack:
defaultdevice false
Unrecoverable error: undefined in .uninstallpagedevice
Operand stack:

defaultdevice false

CUPS.org User: isonthomas

Thank you H. Blischke

From what I understood in your comment and Johannes', we can rule out the possibility of device detection issue.

@johannes,

I ran :

---

cat /usr/share/ghostscript/9.18/examples/colorcir.ps \

| /usr/bin/gs -dQUIET -dPARANOIDSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH
-sDEVICE=qqq -sstdout=%stderr -sOutputFile=%stdout -c -f -_ \

| cat - >/tmp/gs.out

on my system and got

---

INFO: Start rendering...
INFO: Processing page 1...
INFO: Processing page 2...

INFO: Rendering completed

as the output.

Then I replaced this ghostscript command with the one shown in the error log:

---

cat /usr/share/ghostscript/9.18/examples/colorcir.ps | /usr/bin/gs -dQQUIET -dPARANOIDSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dNOINTERPOLATE -sDEVICE=cups -sstdout=%sstderr -sOutputFile=stdout -sOutputType=0 -r600x600 -dMediaPosition=1 -dDEVICEWIIDTHPOINTS=595 -dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=841 -dcupsBitsPerColor=8 dcupsColorOrder=0 --dcupsColorSpace=17 -dcupsInteger0=26 -scupsPageSizeName=A4 -I/usr/share/cups/fonnts -c -f -_ | cat - >/tmp/gs.out

for which the output was the same :

---

INFO: Start rendering...
INFO: Processing page 1...
INFO: Processing page 2...

INFO: Rendering completed

Since both the commands (simpler one that you showed and the one in error log) give the same result, does it mean that ghostscript command parameters are not the problem?

Hi,

I tried printing to another printer as well(HP 1022n). I configured it using Generic PCL ppd file.

This time the error message was

/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip failed

error log file is

Here the "**** Unable to open the initial device, quitting" message is not present.

Also, when I give the print command "lp -d ",

---

usblp0:removed

message is shown on the screen. I executed

---

lpadmin -p -o usb-no-reattach-default=true

command to prevent this (as seen in error log) but even after this, the message is showing up.

I do not understand why the Ghostscript command line
that fails in the printing system does no longer fail
when you run it directly on the command line.

In your last CUPS error_log there is (excerpt):

... [Job 14] Starting renderer with command: gs ...
...

... [Job 14] renderer received signal 11

Again it is Ghostscript that fails but now with
"signal 11" i.e. SIGSEGV = segmentation fault.

Because Ghostscript fails in various ways for you
it seems from my current point of view
that "something is wrong" with Ghostscript
in your particular case.

I cannot tell what exactly is wrong in your particular system.

I think only together with your Linux distribution
you could make real progress in analyzing
what the actual root cause is why Ghostscript
fails in various ways your particular case.

Thank you for the suggestions Johannes.. I have raised this querry in debian forums and am waiting for a reply. Hope to find the root cause soon.

CUPS.org User: isonthomas

The issue got resolved. The problem was that the system was running out of memory when ghostscript command was invoked in the printing system. That is why the command ran successfully when explicitly executed in command line. After increasing the RAM size, printing is working without issues

Thank you Johannes and H. Blischke for the support.
