[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#404936: Same problem here

[Simon Josefsson]

Hi!  I began seeing the same problem a few weeks ago too.  I have a HP
Photosmart 3310.  It happens on all files.  I downloaded the 'pstops'
mention in this bug report, but it did not fix the problem for me.
Both the new and old 'pstops' generate the same output (and the same
exit codes, 0) for the file I tried it on.

Symptoms are that printing doesn't work, even though lpq says:

jas at mocca:~$ lpq
PhotoSmart-3300 is ready
Rank    Owner   Job     File(s)                         Total Size
1st     jas     1       Test Page                       223232 bytes
jas at mocca:~$

The log contains:

mocca:/home/jas# cat /var/log/cups/error_log
E [26/Jan/2007:10:41:02 +0100] CUPS-Add-Modify-Printer: Unauthorized
E [26/Jan/2007:10:41:24 +0100] [Job 1] /undefined in ESPwl
E [26/Jan/2007:10:41:24 +0100] PID 7228 (/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip) stopped with status 3!
mocca:/home/jas#

And the GNOME printer admin tool says 'Status: Ready:
/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip failed' which seems somewhat weird.

I can't find the old cupsys binary packages, so I can't try reverting
to the old version.  Anyone have a backup of them for i386?

Any other ideas?
