When I print the printer dialog reports "Printer State: /usr/lib/cups/filter/ps2pdf failed". This occurs with test page (although ablank page is ejected when I do this) and with an image printed from the image previewer. Also when I print from mutt (via a2ps). This time I got a line down the centre of the page (as it was attempting to put two pages into one, so that's the centre divider). Sometimes a dialog appears saying things went wrong "Print error, there was a problem processing document `(stdin)' (job xyz)" Clicking Diagnose prints a testpage (blank as before) then hangs for alot of debug output. Why is it running ps2pdf anyway?
Printer is a Laserjet 5M with PS simm, duplexer, >11MB memory. Connected via ethernet (Jetdirect, port 9100). Printing from our Windows laptop is fine. Printing from this PC was fine under Hardy. I'm sure it used to work under Intrepid, but can;t be sure, nor when it stopped working.
