Public bug reported: Binary package hint: cupsys
error.log: [] PID 13288 (/usr/lib/cups/cgi-bin/printers.cgi) crashed on signal 9! and cups crashes (stops). After /etc/init.d/cupsys start cups tries to print the file again and crashes again. affected versions: 1.2.4 (edgy) and 1.2.8 (feisty) not affected: 1.2.0 and 1.2.2 (dapper) Even this bug is provoked by a 3rd-party-driver, it's cupsys to blame: 3rd-parties should not be able to rise signal 9. Steps to reproduce: 1. Download the _rpm_ version of the Brother lpr and cupswrapper driver. http://solutions.brother.com/linux/sol/printer/linux/lpr_drivers.html http://solutions.brother.com/linux/sol/printer/linux/cups_drivers.html 2. convert them with alien (don't use --scripts) 3. ln -s /etc/init.d/cupsys /etc/init.d/cups ln -s /etc/init.d/cupsys /etc/init.d/lpd 3. install the generated debs 4. install the attached tar-file with the ppd and cups-filter 5. /etc/init.d/cupsys restart 6. Set up a bsd lpd:// printer queue for Manufacturer:Brother printer: MFC-5840CN (handmade) or MFC-5840CN (hes) or something similar (can't remember exactly). 7. Send printer test page. If you have a bsd lpd running, you can downgrade to cupsys 1.2.2 to get a running version, which breaks again at upgrading to 1.2.4 or 1.2.8.
