Thanks, yes the test print works. Picture is of test print which is not perfect with some stripes and blotches but is basically fine overall (Fun logo, Temperature 0ºC, Firmware version 0.10, etc.)
Then in picture followed by other tests:
-
help cd | lprepeated many times (the half lines of text) - print of clipart file via
lp ~/Downloads/clipart1574.pngseveral times (the five dark blotches) - print of clipart from browser with headers/footers on (just the “clipart157… file:///hom…” line result, the space above/below is from manually tugging on paper not the feed setting it is supposed to have!)
- print of clipart from browser with headers/footers off (the final short blotchy section pulled out manually)
You can see the random clipart PNG file I found on the DevTerm screen, basically what gets printed is sort of a correct start but then it always just stops after a millimeter or two. (Although sometimes in earlier tests as in my first post it would either switch to random dingbat characters or other mess sometimes too.)
Update: maybe from Printer Troubleshooting on R-01 - #4 by guu the printer driver does not automatically update? I can try more things tonight but as I said I did already sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade and the update does fetch from the clockwork repository, just no new packages from them! And that post was re. different platform/architecture where it was working fine for me too; it’s the more common CM3 distro where it’s broken for me!)
