cups raw-printing with 1.9.2.7-6b and hl-1240

[hanswurst]

hi,

i'm desperately trying to print from my linux-box to a brother hl-1240 attached to a wl-500g's lpt-port. i use cups (1.1.23) and 1.9.2.7-6b version of the modified firmware. unfortunately raw-printing from a linux client does not work the way it's supposed to work. :> raw-printing from windows does.
i added a printer via the cups webinterface with these settings:

device: AppSocket/HP JetDirect
device uri: socket://192.168.0.1:9101
vendor (aka driver i guess): Raw
model: Raw Queue (en)

a "successful" printjob from a linux client looks like this:

[admin@router /tmp]$ tail -f syslog.log
...

Oct 6 21:24:13 p9101d[70]: Finished job: 67260 bytes received

the printout of the cups-testpage usually only contains 4 lines.

%!PS_Adobe-3.0
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 612 792
%%Pages: 1
%%LanguageLevel: 1
%%Document

i asume it is some sort of postscript which somehow gets interpreted wrong. do you have any idea how to debug this problem? i don't know if it is cups' fault or p910nd's. i'm kind of lost here and could use some help.

thank you for your replies

You've to select correct vendor and model, not the Raw.

ok, i did that now and i get


[admin@router /tmp]$ tail -f syslog.log

looks like some sort of cups problem to me because the printjob basically contains zero bytes. :>

edit: i played around with the vendor/model settings in cups and found out that HP/HP Laserjet Series CUPS v1.1 (en) works. i guess the supplied ppd-file from linuxprinting.org might be damaged or incompatible. not a nice solution but a solution after all.

install ghostscript or something..
