I have spent the last couple of days trying to track down what is going on. When printing some pdf files from 'Document Viewer' in Fedora, and most pdf sent from a Win7 laptop (the printer is networked) it throws an error "ERROR: rangecheck OFFENDING COMMAND: filter STACK 120585 --nostringval--..." Pdf files that fail to print, from either Fedora Document Viewer or Win7, can be printed without error from Fedora via Xpdf. All test pages sent from the printer-config on Fedora throw the same error, the stack number varies. I have looked at the on board printer setup, and fiddled with the emulation (it can use PCL 6, KPDL 2 and others). Changes to emulation have no effect, and it always reverts to KPDL. Fedora printer-config provides a number of printer drivers for this device, and I have had it set to the recommended, and tried a few others...nothing seems to change the behaviour. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Terry; just a thought; you don't say, but I will assume wireless networking via router ? could the IP address of the printer have changed ? I had such a problem; the IP address is now locked to the MAC address ! regards Rohan McLeod

I had two Kyocera FS600's, they needed parts which were too expensive, but did sterling service. I set them up for KPDL, they did not have PS, and they worked well. If that is what the on board setting keeps reverting to, see if that will work, consistently.

PS I did post a question on Linux Questions a few days ago but had no response, so thought it OK to ask here.

Hope you get it working. I am still trying to sort out a "Broken Pipe" error message for a Canon LBP-5050N. I know others have made work, but no reports yet on Debian 7.8. I might have more success with a Brother 4075CW which is colour, networked, wireless and has BrotherScript, a superset of Postscript, but not necessarily so suitable for photos.

Cheers,
