More investigation: Using ubuntu live DVDs : commands in system-config-printer of ubuntu 13.10 work OK. In ubuntu 14.10 they do not work.
I uninstalled system-config-printer 1.5.6 from my xubuntu 15.04, then installed version 1.3.8 The commands work OK. So some change between system-config printer 1.3.8 and 1.4.3 seems to have stopped the commands from working. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to system-config-printer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1500636 Title: commands passed to cups fail. File missing Status in system-config-printer package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: xubuntu 15.04 64 bit system-config-printer 1.5.6 when I click the button "Print self test page", I expect the printer to produce a self test page instead I get error "client-error-bad-request" and no self test page. the cups error log has the entry Print-Job client-error-bad-request: No file in print request. Note that I can get the printer to generate the self test page by printing a command file from terminal. So it seems that system-config-printer is not providing the command file, or not providing the command filename to cups?
