First of all, I'm not quite certain where the best place to fix this bug is (or even if cupsys itself needs to be fixed). Please reassign this bug if it's really only a bug in foomatic-filters. ;) Anyway, I was setting up a printer today and I ran into the problem that I didn't have the foo2qpdl binary from the foo2zjs package available. The problem was that CUPS' error reporting was quite poor. CUPS said that the status of the printer was "/usr/bin/foomatic-rip failed". But it didn't say _why_ it failed. I had to run 'foomatic-rip - -v -P printername' by hand, and pipe some postscript through it in order to find out why it failed. Ideally, CUPS would say something like: "foomatic-rip failed: foo2qpd: no such file". - -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (530, 'testing'), (520, 'unstable'), (510, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-k7 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages cupsys depends on: ii adduser 3.102 Add and remove users and groups ii cupsys-common 1.2.7-4 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.13 Debian configuration management sy ii gs-esp 8.15.3.dfsg.1-1 The Ghostscript PostScript interpr ii libc6 2.5-9+b1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcupsimage2 1.2.7-4 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libcupsys2 1.2.7-4 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libdbus-1-3 1.0.2-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libgnutls13 1.6.3-1 the GNU TLS library - runtime libr ii libldap2 2.1.30-13.4 OpenLDAP libraries ii libpam0g 0.79-4 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpaper1 1.1.21 Library for handling paper charact ii libslp1 1.2.1-6.2 OpenSLP libraries ii lsb-base 3.1-23.1 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii patch 2.5.9-4 Apply a diff file to an original ii perl-modules 5.8.8-7 Core Perl modules ii procps 1:3.2.7-3 /proc file system utilities ii xpdf-utils [poppler-util 3.02-1 Portable Document Format (PDF) sui ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-15 compression library - runtime Versions of packages cupsys recommends: ii cupsys-client 1.2.7-4 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - pn foomatic-filters <none> (no description available) ii smbclient 3.0.25a-1 a LanManager-like simple client fo - -- debconf information: * cupsys/raw-print: false * cupsys/ports: 631 * cupsys/backend: ipp, lpd, parallel, socket, usb cupsys/portserror: * cupsys/browse: true -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGZbDhshl/216gEHgRAlg0AJ4t52Pkgu9SWYB1haQV2H1r4WcrBwCgzNZG OReLG01kI9fdRBowvbFefYQ= =Z27B -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
