| gnarface | plasma41: Brother DCP-L2550DW, though it might be relevant that i'm using it in HP emulation mode with the open source HP driver, not Brother's closed-source ones (though fwiw the non-free Brother printer driver in the repos doesn't list it as a supported model anyway) | 00:35 |
|---|---|---|
| gnarface | |cos|: in the past with other machines, this type of behavior has frequently been associated with impending failure of a bus-attached device (usually something PATA, like an optical drive) or a failing power supply, not sure if that helps much with fixing it, but might help narrow it down to which device it's waiting for | 00:39 |
| gnarface | if it only happens while it's on battery, it might just be the battery | 00:40 |
| rustyaxe | lexmark network printers wrk well with cups | 00:50 |
| rustyaxe | i heard brother were linu friendly. O_o | 00:50 |
| gnarface | rustyaxe: they are, at least as much as Nvidia is anyway, which is why i'm strongly suspecting it's actually chromium's fault here, but looking for more data points to be sure | 00:53 |
| gnarface | (to be clear, Okular printed the pdf just fine from the same machine moments later, using all the rest of the same exact software and hardware) | 00:53 |
| rustyaxe | Can you pick print using system dialog and try that? | 00:57 |
| rustyaxe | In chrome | 00:57 |
| rustyaxe | i have to do that on the wintrash machine at one of our customer sites. I dont have privileges nor pay sufficient to care :) | 00:58 |
| gnarface | not sure what you mean? and it's chromium not chrome | 00:58 |
| rustyaxe | Same thing. when you are in print, theres a lttle "link" looking bit about system printer dialog | 00:58 |
| gnarface | i think that's what the user did... | 00:58 |
| rustyaxe | Sec ill try to reproduce it | 00:58 |
| gnarface | as opposed to printing how exactly? | 00:58 |
| rustyaxe | at the bottom of dialog, click More Settings. | 00:59 |
| rustyaxe | at VERY bottom, Print using system dialog (Ctrl+Shift+P) | 00:59 |
| rustyaxe | At least in chromium, that's an option when go to Print. | 01:00 |
| gnarface | hmm, not seeing it here | 01:00 |
| gnarface | this is on daedalus with kde | 01:01 |
| fsmithred | I've seen that in firefox recently. | 01:01 |
| rustyaxe | https://i.imgur.com/IkxurQT.png | 01:01 |
| rustyaxe | Thats in chromium | 01:01 |
| fsmithred | the one in firefox is similar | 01:03 |
| gnarface | rustyaxe: oh, sorry, you just mean the "print using system dialog" link not a "more settings" button on the system dialog itself, i got it. yea, that's what was used to print. | 01:08 |
| rustyaxe | I has to click more settings first | 01:08 |
| gnarface | maybe relevant that Okular's print dialog looks entirely different...] | 01:09 |
| rustyaxe | oof | 01:09 |
| gnarface | but what's weird to me is they're both printing through the cups daemon to a network attached cups printer using the same driver... or they should be, afaik | 01:09 |
| gnarface | i used to deal with printing issues in netscape and ie across versions 3/4/5, so it's easy for me to just blame this on the browser though | 01:10 |
| rustyaxe | gremlins | 01:10 |
| rustyaxe | Cant blame the usual suspects so gremlin it is | 01:11 |
| gnarface | well, could be some conflict with the "HP Emulation Mode" but this is the first time i've seen it misbehave | 01:11 |
| gnarface | and again,... still seems weird it would only happen with one program and not the other, if they're both using the same driver and hardware | 01:12 |
| rustyaxe | it looks so neat outside | 01:12 |
| gnarface | well, if anyone can reproduce it, let me know | 01:12 |
| gnarface | i understand this is probably not a common setup | 01:12 |
| gnarface | (I assume most people would just go to Brother's website and download the latest unpackaged drivers direct, but that creeps me out a bit) | 01:13 |
| alv_ | ok who want to test the dng@lists.dyne.org mailing list si welcome !!! i found out that all the lists wasn't working at all | 14:47 |
| alv_ | and fixed | 14:47 |
| temp_forever | i got a bunch of test emails :-) | 14:54 |
| temp_forever | ty for fixing it | 14:55 |
| sosmlg | hello guys :3 | 15:35 |
| plasma41 | gnarface: Looks like that printer speaks PostScript as well as HP's language PCL. Do you get any better result with using PostScript? | 18:17 |
| paculino | Hey, the forum search seems to be slightly broken with javascript off right now (and through a proxy and with a cookies whitelist). The search function timeout gets stuck at seven seconds. | 23:44 |
| UsL | sometimes it can be worth it to enable js on the few sites you use often | 23:46 |
| fsmithred | paculino, are you logged in or not? | 23:48 |
| fsmithred | with javascript off, it works for me only when I'm logged in. Allow js and I can search when not logged in, but must wait 30 seconds between searches. | 23:55 |
| paculino | I tried both logged in and not | 23:56 |
| paculino | Oh, I see the problem maybe | 23:58 |
| paculino | Somehow I only remain logged in on the site besides the search function | 23:58 |
| paculino | Nevermind; it logged me out the first time, but not the second | 23:59 |
