Troubleshooting>
The machine does not
print.
The CUPS (Common Unix Printing
System) version distributed with SuSE
Linux 9.2 (cups-1.1.21) has a problem
with ipp (Internet Printing Protocol)
printing. Use the socket printing instead of
ipp or install later version of CUPS (cups-
1.1.22 or higher).
Some color images
come out all black.
This is a known bug in Ghostscript (until
GNU Ghostscript version 7.05) when the
base color space of the document is
indexed color space and it is converted
through CIE color space. Because
PostScript uses CIE color space for Color
Matching System, you should upgrade
Ghostscript on your system to at least
GNU Ghostscript version 7.06 or later. You
can find recent Ghostscript versions at
www.ghostscript.com
.
Some color images
come out in
unexpected color.
This is a known bug in Ghostscript (until
GNU Ghostscript version 7.xx) when the
base color space of the document is
indexed RGB color space and it is
converted through CIE color space.
Because PostScript uses CIE color space
for Color Matching System, you should
upgrade Ghostscript on your system to at
least GNU Ghostscript version 8.xx or
later. You can find recent Ghostscript
versions at www.ghostscript.com
.
The machine does not
print whole pages and
its output is half page
printed.
It is a known problem that occurs when a
color printer is used on version 8.51 or
earlier of Ghostscript, 64-bit Linux OS,
and reported to bugs.ghostscript.com as
Ghostscript Bug 688252. The problem is
solved in AFPL Ghostscript v. 8.52 or
above. Download the latest version of
AFPL Ghostscript from http://
sourceforge.net/projects/ghostscript/ and
install it to solve this problem.
I encounter error
“Cannot open port
device file” when
printing a document.
Please avoid changing print job
parameters (via LPR GUI, for example)
while a print job is in progress. Known
versions of CUPS server break the print
job whenever print options are changed
and then try to restart the job from the
beginning. Since Unified Linux Driver
locks port while printing, the abrupt
termination of the driver keeps the port
locked and therefore unavailable for
subsequent print jobs. If this situation
occurred, please, try to release the port.

Common Macintosh problems
The printer does not
print PDF file correctly.
Some parts of
graphics, text, or
illustrations are
missing.
Incompatibility between the PDF file and
the Acrobat products:
Printing the PDF file as an image may
solve this problem. Turn on Print As
Image from the Acrobat printing options.
N
OTE: It will take longer to print when you
print a PDF file as an image.
Condition Suggested solutions
The printer does not
print a document from
Acrobat Reader.
You should change the Print Method
option to Print as Image when you print
from Acrobat Reader.
The document has
printed, but the print job
has not disappeared
from the spooler in Mac
OS 10.3.2.
Update your Mac OS to OS 10.3.3 or
higher.
Some letters are not
displayed normally
during the Cover page
printing.
This problem is caused because Mac OS
can not create the font during the Cover
page printing. English alphabet and
numbers are displayed normally at the
Cover page.
When printing a
document in Mac OS
with Acrobat Reader 6.0
or higher, colors print
incorrectly.
This problem is caused because the
resolution setting in the printer driver
may not be matched with that in Acrobat
Reader.
Make sure that the resolution setting in
your printer driver matches that in
Acrobat Reader.
