[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#515918: raw sauce

I'm seeing this with an HPLJ5L.

The pdf source printed is not in fact raw. It is a graphical rendering of the 
pdf source. It's making my poor old printer run out of memory.

I've seen this in syslog:
> Feb 24 18:40:14 localhost parport0: prnt/backend/hp.c 571: INFO: status=1000 printing...
> Feb 24 18:43:09 localhost parport0: io/hpmud/pp.c 517: compat_write_data transfer stalled
> Feb 24 18:43:09 localhost parport0: io/hpmud/musb.c 1384: unable to write data hp:/par/HP_LaserJet_5L?device=/dev/parport0: Invalid argument
> Feb 24 18:43:09 localhost parport0: prnt/backend/hp.c 595: ERROR: 1014 media-jam-error; will retry in 30 seconds...

Which is all good apart from the "Invalid argument" bit.

The file associations on this machine have been messed up by other recent updates.

Those Unauthorizeds seem spurious.

The filter errors may be more significant to the problem at hand.

Job 149 was a CUPS printer test page.

Must away.
