--- Begin Message ---Package: cups Version: 2.1.3-5+b1 Severity: normal Tags: upstream 401dne.ppd was obtained from printer-driver-postscript-hp and has the line *cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-postscript 0 hpps" in it. Using /usr/sbin/cupsfilter -p 401dne.ppd -m printer/foo -e > out.ps 2>log results in an empty out.ps and these lines in the log: : ERROR: Improper environment: Must be run by CUPS. ERROR: hpps (PID 3392) stopped with status 1 The hpps filter contains # CUPS provided environment try: device_uri = os.environ['DEVICE_URI'] printer_name = os.environ['PRINTER'] ppd_file = os.environ['PPD'] except KeyError: bug("Improper environment: Must be run by CUPS.") sys.exit(CUPS_FILTER_FAILED) so it seems to me that hpps expects DEVICE_URI, PRINTER and PPD environment variables. But cupsfilter does not provide DEVICE_URI. It would enhance the cupsfilter command if it was considered for inclusion. But I am not even sure that would be a complete fix as PPD=/home/brian/401dne.ppd DEVICE_URI="" PRINTER=cupsfilter /usr/lib/cups/filter/hpps 1 1 1 1 1 < in.ps > out.ps gets 12345X@PJL JOBNAME=hplip_1_1 @PJL SET USERNAME="1" @PJL SET JOBNAME="1" @PJL SET JOBATTR="JobAcct1=1" @PJL SET JOBATTR="JobAcct2=b'alpha6'" @PJL SET JOBATTR="JobAcct3=b'lan'" @PJL SET JOBATTR="JobAcct4=20160524054830" Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/cups/filter/hpps", line 216, in <module> os.write(output_fd, to_bytes_utf8('@PJL SET JOBATTR=\"JobAcct5=%s\"\x0a' % opts['job-uuid'])) KeyError: 'job-uuid' and necessitates adding an option with PPD=/home/brian/401dne.ppd DEVICE_URI="" PRINTER=cupsfilter /usr/lib/cups/filter/hpps 1 1 1 1 'job-uuid=246' < in.ps > out.ps Regards, Brian.
