Adobe Reader can't print to network HP3600dn after recent cups update

[Bill Morgan]

Binary package hint: cups

PDF printing used to work both from inside Firefox and from stand-alone Reader. After a CUPs update (I'm pretty sure...), it doesn't work. Evince works however.

The printer prints out:

PCL XL error
  Subsystem: KERNEL
  Error: IllegalTag
  Operator: 0x00
  Position: 2

I followed the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems and I notice AppArmor audit errors in my messages log. These are like this:

Jan 22 12:38:05 bill-desktop1 kernel: [1174365.999886] audit(1232649485.203:21): type=1502 operation="inode_permission" requested_mask="::rw" denied_mask="::rw" name="/dev/tty" pid=27015 profile="/usr/sbin/cupsd" namespace="default"

Turning off AppArmor with "sudo aa-complain cupsd" did not help.

My /var/log/cups/error_log is attached.

$ lsb_release -rd

Same problem using the recommended pxljr printer driver?

[Pascal De Vuyst (pascal-devuyst)]

Still a problem in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS or higher?
