Package: printer-driver-gutenprint
Version: 5.2.11-1+b2
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I own a Brother MFC7420 printer (which requires proprietary drivers that use
gutenprint).
It has been working correctly with printer-driver-gutenprint 5.2.10. Since the
upgrade to
5.2.11-1+b1 (and idem with 5.2.11-1+b2), the printer stopped working, with the
following
message in /var/log/cups/error.log:
[cups-deviced] PID 27449 (gutenprint52+usb) stopped with status 1!
Similar issues can be found in Ubuntu [1] and ArchLinux [2].
I solved it for the moment by downgrading printer-driver-gutenprint to 5.2.10

Olivier,
As the *cupsfilter line shows, you are using the Brother driver to send
the print job to the printer. Gutenprint plays no part in this process,
so there can be no bug in it. I am consequently closing the report.
Maybe there is a bug in brlpdwrapper, but we cannot deal with that
because it is closed source.
Regards,
Brian.
