Bug Description
Binary package hint: cupsys
As of today most documents are not printing on my machine. No error message is given. An example of a pdf that doesn't print is included.
My version of cupsys: 1.3.9-2ubuntu5; my release: Intrepid.
Part of my cups page_log reads:
aserJet_4350 dave 137 [18/Dec/
LaserJet_4350 dave 138 [18/Dec/
LaserJet_4350 dave 139 [18/Dec/
LaserJet_4350 dave 139 [18/Dec/
LaserJet_4350 dave 140 [18/Dec/
LaserJet_4350 dave 141 [18/Dec/
LaserJet_4350 dave 141 [18/Dec/
and the ones with the 0 are the failures.

I have two machine which are running Intrepid. One has 1.3.9-2ubuntu4, the other 1.3.9-2ubuntu5. My printer is a Brother DL-5250 DN which is accessed over the local network. I discovered this printing problem when printing out postage for my Ebay sales. For instance, I click on "View Paypal Transaction" and then "Print Packing Slip". This causes the status light to blink yellow, as expected. But instead of churning its innards and ejecting a printed page, the blinking turns back to a steady green. Printing from gedit, xpdf, evice, lpr, and Openoffice all fail the same way. Directly printing from Firefox, as in selecting File->Print works correctly as does printing a test page from system- config- printer. When printing does work, the yellow blinking takes an inordinately long time before the printer actually sucks up a sheet and prints on it.
