Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: splix
I am running Ubuntu 10.04 beta 2 (with daily updates) and use a Samsung
ML-1710 printer. Printing used to work fine until the day before
yesterday, when I got the printer status message "SpliX Cannot read
pixel line", and the printer refused to print anything. When I removed
the job from CUPS and tried to print another document the message
changed to "processing page 2", although the document had only one page.
Removing jobs or rebooting the system did not change anything. I was
still able to print on my second printer.
>From several web articles and bug reports I got the hint that removing
and recreating the whole printer installation might fix the problem, at
least temporarily. That is what I did today, and my ML-1710 started
working again, and even printed the same document that seemed to have
caused the problem (in the log, I changed its name to yyy-yy.pdf).
In my humble opinion an error in printing a single document should not
block the whole printer queue, so even if the "pixel line" message were
justified it should not block the printing of other documents. I have no
way of telling whether this is a splix or a cups issue but since the
original message mentioned splix I am putting it under this package.
I am attaching the concerning section of my cups/error_log file (1000+
lines), which contains the message. The section is about my first
attempt to print and about the second attempt 13 minutes later, after
removing the first job unplugging and reconnecting the printer's USB
cable.
