Just a little more Info:

I've had some time this afternoon, so I set up the printer in a number of different ways:  SMB, JetDirect and IPP, all produced the same result, blank paper coming from the printer.  I don't know if this information might point someone in a direction that will help me troubleshoot this or not, but there it is.

Obviously the printer is getting the output, but the output is corrupted. Communications are working but drivers are not.

I would try different drivers (aka filters) to see if something works better, and if not (or even if you get it to work but with different drivers) then submit a bugzilla with information about your config.

OK, I have 2 networked printers in this office, both HP Color LaserJets. One is a 4500 and one is a 4550. I'm using both

of them via

JetDirect (which worked in FC1 without any modifications).

They both are

maxed out in memory and have duplex units. Upon upgrading

to FC2, both

still are accessed, but only blank sheets of paper come out

regardless of

what type of document I send to them.

Is the JetDirect card internal? Or is it an external printserver?
It is an internal card in the printers.
Which URL or address are you using to print to the printers?

I'm using the physical IP address of each of them, in this case Cubicle has an IP of 129.131.45.12.

Does CUPS actually claim to support them? If so, with which drivers or methods?

When you go through the printer setup, there are Drivers listed for both of the printers in the setup, so I hope that CUPS supports them. I included the 4550 in this message, as it is the only one included in the machine I can get to from this machine.

Can you post the relevant sections of the config files?

Are there any errors in the logs?

Nope, CUPS seems to think it did it's job, and at least paper came out.

Can you print to those networked printers from an FC1 box?

Yes, no problems except it is only black and white (no color), which I can deal with, I rarely need color anyway.

Are there *any* visible differences in the configurations between FC1 and FC2?
Nothing that is obvious.
DETAILS!!! <grin> It is impossible to troubleshoot anything without lots of details.

Sorry, I should know not to do this type of thing while I'm working on the aircraft, not enough time to really think about what you need.
