Jaunty cannot print to Printer on a local printserver

[adonet]

A HP Laserjet printer is connected on a router via a printserver. The printer can be used bij alle computers that are connected on the router. It works from Hardy Heron 8.04.2 (didn't with 8.04 and 8.04.1 without a workaround). The printer works from Suse Linux, Fedora 10, Windows XP and Vista.

I use this URI: socket://192.168.2.10:9100

Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope cannot connect to the printer and just says that the printer might not be connected. On the printer the data receiving LED is blinking, but nothing happens.
Even not with the workaround that did the job in the early versions of Hardy Heron 8.04 and 8.04.1
That workaround was to add this line: net.ipv4.tcp_frto = 0
in this file: /etc/sysctl.conf
The bug in Hardy was found to be in the kernel.

Any help would be appreciated very much

Please provide the output of the following command on a terminal for some useful printing related debugging information:
apport-collect -p cups 365951

Can you also provide a cups error_log after trying to print as described here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems#cupserrorlog

In another forum thread I found out that many others had related problems and Till Kamppeter made a solution available in the jaunty repos.

adonet,
If I understand correctly the poppler update in jaunty fixed this bug, can we close this bug report then?

[adonet (jeroen-adolfse)]

Pascal,

Yes, We can close this bug as far as I'm concerned.

Thank you for your help.
