Bug Description
After upgrading to Intrepid from Hardy on PPC, I cannot print anymore. I've got a Brother HL-1430 laserjet printer using the recommended PPD. The "data" LED of the printer blinks for a second, and then shuts off again.
If I try with the test page, it comes off blank, or with some grey squares (but in Hardy it came with the Ubuntu logo and all).
For example, trying "man -Tps printf | lpr" doesn't print anything; nor it works from any other application (e.g. a PDF in evince). The queue is always empty when using PS files, else when printing PDFs from evince it stays in queue indefinitely.
In response to what I send to the printer, looking at the logs, I can see:
D [17/Sep/
D [17/Sep/
D [17/Sep/
D [17/Sep/
D [17/Sep/
D [17/Sep/

I'm attaching the cups error_log.
Quite severe in importance, imho. This is a machine shared by a lot of users, so none of them can print as long as this lasts.
ii cups 1.3.8-11 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - server
