Tuxi,

thanks for your advice. I tried with no luck. My printer is a brother HL-2040 and seems to require the Brother linux drivers. I installed these on the client and set the printer address to the raw queue on the server but the test page just "prints" four blank pages...

I then decided to upgrade the cupsd server to version 1.2.1 (from source to avoid any depency problem with my debian stable installation). The install went OK, I had to reconfigure the printer, reinstall the Brother driver etc... etc... and this seems to have fixed the problem. I wasted half-a-day however and I have a source-only package on my otherwise clean debian stable machine....

So, I think it's a serious bug, it's certainly a regression from breezy...

thanks for your help

Stephane
