description |
System is Xubuntu 6.06.1 LTS.
Printer is a Brother HL-1650 (BRScript3, i.e. probably PostScript in all but name) over Samba (this does not seem to be an smbspool issue though).
CUPS can print its own test page.
lp SomePostScriptFile.ps works as well - but plaintext files (http://phpfi.com/153896 takes some script code as an example) and attempts to print from applications (e.g. acroread, GIMP) result in stopped jobs.
BTW while the user might be expected to find http://localhost:631 (after some googling), it's been tricky enough to have to figure out
sudo adduser cupsys shadow
/etc/init.d/cupsys restart
to even be allowed to add a printer. This should probably be considered automagically in future versions...
I assume something goes wrong in foomatic's attempt to convert into PostScript and found the ways to make it write a debug log, but the parameters it is called with are a mystery to me (and apparently to itself either, judging from the output linked above) - so I can't tell yet whether it fails because of wrong parameters, missing input or insufficient rights to write its output.
Note: the original reporter indicated the bug was in package 'cups'; however, that package was not published in Ubuntu. |

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Thanks in advance. |
