cups problems

[Thierry de Coulon]

Hello,

Since MacOS X uses cups, I thought I could share my Colour Laserjet 2500L over 
the network. SO I connected it (over USB of course) to my PowerBook and, as a 
matter of fact, it worked great and all my Linux machines yould use it.

I seem to recall it used to work 100% (but maybe I didn't print big 
documents). Anyway, for a few weeks now (so this could have to do with one of 
these poorly documented "updates" MacOS insists on downloading regularly), 
some documents, allways full of graphics but not necessarily "huge", only 
print partly, or not at all: loading starts, then suddenly the orange light 
lights up and the "printing stopped" appears in the printer control center.

Now I took the time to configure my Linux Laptop (this meant downloading the 
required ppd file and setting the printer in cups) and see: the very same 
documents print completely and with no problem.

So this is neither a document, nor a printer problem. Is this a "Mac-cups" 
problem, or a network problem?

Seems I'll soon be back to considering using MacOS only for video jobs....
