--- Begin Message ---Package: xfprint4 Version: 4.4.2-1~bpo40+2 Severity: normal I have been configuring my printer, an old HP DeskJet 6122 inkjet model, to work on Etch. After successfully setting up the printer with the CUPS web interface, and configuring 'lpoptions' so that 'lp' and 'lpr' have nice-looking output, I then moved on to configuring GUI apps. I use XFCE4 instead of Gnome or KDE. Trying to print a test document from 'mousepad', I got a dialog box with an error message: "client-error-bad-request". I thought I needed to do further XFCE configuration to allow printing, but when I checked Xfce -> Settings -> Printing System Settings I found that the "Printing System Selection" was already set to CUPS. Reading the relevant documentation available at Help -> Xfhelp4 (file:///usr/share/xfce4/doc/C/xfprint.html) I found this interesting blurb: The xfprint4 application allows the user to print files of many different types and to set the printing options. For this it makes use of the a2ps application. [...] After a quick 'aptitude install a2ps' I found that all of the printing features of XFCE were working as indicated by the documentation. Printing my document using 'mousepad' now worked fine. I am currently using the backports.org version of XFCE4 (see above), but previously was using the 4.3.99.1-1 version available from the standard Etch repositories. I believe the old version at least had a "Recommends" on 'a2ps' and 'psutils', but this backports version has only a "Suggests" on 'psutils' and no mention of 'a2ps' at all in its dependencies!
