One thing that might help: Gabriel and Thomas, can you send me the PPD
files from /etc/cups/ppd/ for your printers? I might be able to do
some debugging of foomatic-rip manually even though I don't have the
printers in question with the PPD file.
I did a lot of testing and here is what works and what doesn't:
* Using the Brother HL-2060 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.3 driver works
perfectly well! I tried it because it was selected by default when I
reinstalled the printer.
* Using the Brother HL-2060 Foomatic/hl1250 (recommended) driver fails
with a segfault of foomatic, as reported previously. Files related:
hl1250.ppd and debug (from /var/log/cups/error_log).
* Using the propietary driver from Brother fails silently (no segfault,
the task is reported to work and the printer seems to wake up but
doesn't print anything). Files related: HL2070N-prop.ppd and
debug-prop.
This applies to Debian Sid x86_64 updated this morning. I'll try on x86
in the next few days and let you know.
The following Ubuntu bug report seems related, by the way:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/foomatic-filters/+bug/321164
It includes a patch that I didn't try.
