Printer error on second job
Hello everyone,
I have a strange problem with my printer, a Lexmark E120. The details of the system:
- linux mint 7 with xfce
- printer is connected to an asus wl-520gu router that has print server capabilities (the router always did a good job when printing from windows so I assume it has no problems)
- I configured the printer using system-config-printer 1.1.3 that comes with the distribution
I tried more than one driver with this tool but every time with the same result: the first job that I print, regardless of how many pages or copies of the document I print, comes out great. On the second job the printer will only print the first 1-2 rows of the document and then after the page comes out, it flashes the error led.
If I turn off the printer and then start it again the first job will print well again, second will fail.
Does anyone know what could be wrong? Any help appreciated.

Solved
I found the problem, I was using the wrong protocol (AppSocket/HP JetDirect) while the wl-520gu router works with LPR/LPD protocol with the following URI: lpd://192.168.1.1/lp
