Package: cups-filters
Version: 1.0.7-1
Followup-For: Bug #660348

Dear Maintainer,

I have just updated my Sid system and am still having problems with the
recommended foomatic filter from foomatic-db-compressed-ppds, Brother
HL-5240 Foomatic/Postscript.  After sending a print test page job the
CUPS web page shows, "processing since Thu 29 Mar 2012 05:45:46 PM CDT
"Spooling job, 10% complete." ". and lpq outputs:

$ lpq
Brother-HL-5240 is ready and printing
Rank    Owner   Job     File(s)                         Total Size
active  (null)  43      untitled                        1024 bytes

Meanwhile the printer is left with its status light flashing and no
sheet output at all.

I have restarted the computer and printer with the same result.
Reverting back to the Generic PostScript Level 1 Printer
Foomatic/Postscript1 driver and it works, although it seems quite slow.

If there is any advice for me to help you troubleshoot this issue,
please pass it along.
