Can't print to CUPS 1.1.14 after upgrading to cupsys 1.2.2

[Francis J. Lacoste]

An update to dapper broke my network printing config.

After upgrading to cupsys 1.2.2-0ubuntu0.6.06 which appeared recently in dapper-updates, network printing fails mysteriously.

My printer is connected to a box running Woody which has an old version of cups: 1.1.14-5woody12. After the upgrade, all print jobs fails. On the server everything seems to be working fine. The printer even seems to receive a job since it turn some lights on, but nothing is printed. In the error_log, I don't have any significant error message. I once got a:

I [23/Aug/2006:15:40:14 -0400] Job 1331 queued on 'Levi_Strauss' by 'guest'.
I [23/Aug/2006:15:40:14 -0400] Started filter /usr/lib/cups/filter/cupsomatic (PID 27325) for job 1331.
I [23/Aug/2006:15:40:14 -0400] Started backend /usr/lib/cups/backend/parallel (PID 27326) for job 1331.
E [23/Aug/2006:15:42:34 -0400] Bad request line "g"!

but the jobs requested before that had only the first three lines (Job #, Started filter, Started backend)

My printer is a Brother HL-1250 and I'm using the foomatic + hl1250 GS driver.

Downgrading to 1.2.0-0ubuntu5 solved the problem

Could you try adding:

deb http://www.grad.hr/~ivoks/ubuntu/cups ./

to /etc/apt/sources.list and upgrade packages. Then try printing and report results.

Thanks

(this could be duplicate of bug 55828)

Indeed after installing the cups packages present in that archive, network printing to the Woody server works again.

Thanks

Thanks for testing.
