The real printer is "okipage 8w Lite". Such a printer wasn't present in the list of guteprint, so I selected "okipage 8p". Then I proceeded to print the image. The new job appeared in the print queue (lpq), but the printer did nothing. A few minutes passed, and the job disappeared from the queue. Workaround: print the image from gqview. (Simple "lp" is not that convenient because it's more difficult to select the zoom and position in command line.) 79156 1 imz 2008-10-04 04:38:51 +0400 I recalled that when configuring CUPS, I was able to select the correct model of the printer. So, it's not a model completely unknown to the world of GNU/Linux. /etc/cups/ppd/oki.ppd reads: *FormatVersion: "4.3" *FileVersion: "1.1" *LanguageVersion: English *LanguageEncoding: ISOLatin1 *PCFileName: "OKI4W.PPD" *Manufacturer: "Okidata" *Product: "(Okipage 8w Lite)" *cupsVersion: 1.0 *cupsManualCopies: True *cupsModelNumber: 2 *cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-postscript 0 foomatic-rip" *%pprRIP: foomatic-rip other *ModelName: "Okidata Okipage 8w Lite" *ShortNickName: "Okidata Okipage 8w Lite oki4w" *NickName: "Okidata Okipage 8w Lite Foomatic/oki4w (recommended)" etc. So, gutenprint could also suggest an exact option for this printer. But this comment is not essential: I doubt that the problem comes from an incorrect model specification in gutenprint's menu. I believe that simply gutenprint doesn't work well. 81678 2 imz 2008-11-25 20:09:38 +0300 (In reply to comment #0) > Workaround: print the image from gqview.

But still (gqview or whatever else), printing through the driver which is included in the distro is very bad: https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17558 . 81679 3 imz 2008-11-25 20:14:15 +0300 $ rpm -qa '*guten*' libgutenprint-5.0.2-alt1.M40.1 gutenprint-foomatic-5.0.2-alt1.M40.1 gutenprint-5.0.2-alt1.M40.1 gimp-plugin-gutenprint-5.0.2-alt1.M40.1 $ 81681 4 shrek 2008-11-25 20:23:10 +0300 my your not understand 83851 5 shrek 2009-01-03 20:09:29 +0300 для 4.0 только обновление безопасность
