Xerox Phaser 6130: how to use it? (Solved)
Re: xerox 6130
well... there is a clue (I guess)peterw wrote:...I was wondering what happens to the output from dmesg as you plug and unplug your printer. That may give you a clue as to what is going on...
peterw
the only difference between the two dmesg (i.e. connected and disconnected) are two lines at the end of the file:
Code: Select all
usb 1-8: USB disconnect, device number 4
usblp0: removed
first is with printer disconnected and second with printer connected:rcrsn51 wrote:...Run: lsusb. Is your printer listed?...

I guess, this is what we are looking for:

I have run the same in LinuxMint using the same machine and the result:

Hi bambuko
The mystery deepens. I don't have your printer or set up but when I plug or unplug a printer dmesg tells me details about the printer but you don't get anything useful. Interestingly, lsusb shows your printer. When I do /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb I can see my Samsung printers but the messages ends
STATUS:BUSY; " "" and
STATUS:IDLE;" ""
And yours is a puzzle - it is much more different than mine. rcrsn51 is much more an expert than I, perhaps he can interpret what you have got. If I had the problem, I would try using a different usb port and then if the problem persisted try again on a different computer to see if the problem migrates to that one.

thank you peterw,
I have tried two different machines - both the same result
I have tried pristine install of the latest tahrpup 6.0.2 - still doesn't work
and yet it works fine with other linux, with older puppy distros (I have tried 5.2.8 ), etc
I am not knowledgeable enough to solve it myself so my only hope is with you guys.

Hi bambuko
Have just done a frugal install of tahr-6.0-CE_noPAE as I had that one available to try on the same PC that I have printers connected to.
dmesg - when removing usb and replacing it shows the printer being disconnected and connected but does not mention the make and name of the machine.
lsusb - shows one printers name but only recognises the other as a scanner (It is a scanner/printer)
/usr/lib/cups/backend/usb - shows same messages as before.
Http://localhost:631/admin/ - shows both my Samsung printers ready to be added.
The messages that I have got with tahr are slightly different than before as I expected dmesg output to be the same as before. For the tahr I have just used the kernel is 3.14.20. I wonder if there is a difference in the kernels that could be causing the problem? I, too, am not an expert. And in this case I don't know enough to take this further. Your best help now is rcrsn51 - I have watched his contributions to the forum and his knowledge is much greater than mine. I am but an enthusiastic Puppy fan.

Because this is a Postscript printer, it should only need a PPD file, not a full driver. I have attached the 6130N PPD that came from the Xerox download site.
1. Copy it to /usr/share/cups/model.
2. Delete your current printer and install again.
If it doesn't work, I have another PPD to try.

In case that PPD doesn't work, I have attached one from openprinting.org.

The one from open printing works OK, but has very few (well... none) default options to set.
Original one from Xerox has all the options, but I am unable to set auto paper feed - it insists on asking me to do manual paper feed ...
Having said all this - I am very happy customer - I have a printer in Puppy, even if remain puzzled why it was such a palava to get it going
No wonder some beginners chuck their toys out of the pram
If you can offer any suggestions about paper feed deafults on Xerox PPD file I would be grateful, otherwise I will take the one from openprinting.org
Once again - thank you for getting me out of caca

Is there a setting for paper feed on the printer's own control panel?Original one from Xerox has all the options, but I am unable to set auto paper feed - it insists on asking me to do manual paper feed
I am curious as to whether CUPS would work properly with a slightly older Puppy like Slacko 570 or Precise 571.
panic over
sorry - it was my cluster fuck up
I didn't notice that pdf document I was using as a test print, had in it's setting "manual feed tray"
Once I ammended it, all is fine
One thing still puzzling me is why the other PPD files ignored this setting - I suppose it is because they are so simple.
I am happy bunny now!
and sorry for the confusion.

Hi bambuko and rcrsn51
Glad you got the printer working and by following this post I have learnt a little more. Good news for all,
