packagesi suspect may be involved that were recently updated were cups and libcups, the kernel, and udev. i have since downgraded cups and libcups with unsuccessful results, so i went ahead and re-updated them.

after some fiddling around and restarting my computer from a cold boot, my printer would receive some kinds of signals from my computer, and jobs would successfully show up in the print queue, but they would print out and it would just be an entirely black page, or a mostly black page with some streaky colors in it. something is going terribly wrong.


I connect to a Brother network printer, which always worked fine from an install of Arch that I stopped updating around the time Gnome 3 came out. I reinstalled to another partition and just recently installed CUPS and setup the printer (same PPD, copied old config files), but some print operations from FF fail. It's not random, some pages will always print, others never will. When a job fails the printer LCD briefly displays a message like 'data discarded'. If I print the page to a .ps file, and print the .ps file with 'lpp file.ps' it works fine.


But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist.

restarted cupsd dropped and re-created the printer selecting the foomatic version of the driver and now it all works nicely again. It seems now that the latest version of cups may need the foomatic packages to work correctly with some printers.


not sure if this is the same problem but my epson RX580 stopped working after the latest update to the ghostscript package (it would only print out solid black pages). A package downgrade solved my problem.


Same here, cups stopped working after update for an Epson TX115, error is "client-error-document-format-not-supported" for simple pdfs. It can be fixed using foomatic drivers but up to yesterday the cups driver did it fine.


i will confirm what thoughtcrimes said, after downgrading ghostscript to 9.02-2, my previous drivers work as they did before... we should all make sure to file a bug report. not sure if that should be done through arch, or through the ghostscript develpment team directly... never done that before.


EDIT: found someone that had posted the bug in arch bug tracker here

i believe it is an upstream issue, but i'm too lazy to create a bugzilla account to post on ghostscript.com so i just added my two cents here.


If you're using Windows and you've installed a Epson driver, VueScan's built-in drivers won't conflict with this. If you haven't installed a Windows driver for this scanner, VueScan will automatically install a driver.


If the driver listed is not the right version or operating system, search our driver archive for the correct version. Enter Epson Stylus DX7400 into the search box above and then submit. In the results, choose the best match for your PC and operating system.


After you get your new driver, you need to put it on your computer. On Windows, there's a tool called Device Manager that helps with this. It shows you all the parts of your computer and the drivers they use. To finish setting up the new driver, you'll probably need to turn your computer off and on again.
