Bug#769058: cups: "/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip failed" after last CUPS update
Package: cups
Version: 1.7.5-7
Followup-For: Bug #769058
Sorry for the delay, it has been a very busy week for me, and for some reason
my last reply never arrived to the tracker.
I tried setting the print queue to raw, but... I can't still print.
I even went and created a separate queue for the CL3005W in raw mode (device
URI is "usb://KONICA%20MINOLTA/mc1600W?serial=06796", and I named the queue
"CL3005Wr"), then I setup one of my remote clients to print to it. Not only
nothing came out of the printer, this time I didn't even got any error on the
server! Dunno if somehow the print job got mangled and the printer rejected the
bad data (I did noticed that the printer "Ready" LED blinked briefly during one
of the failed attempts), or it simply went to nowhere - I'll have to recheck
this later.
Remote Windows clients can still print to the unmodified queue, sane as for
anything running older CUPS versions. In fact, I've been using the same
server/client setup since 2007 or so, in several Linux flavors (including older
Debian Sid servers). using clients both in Windows and several Linux distros,
and only in this year I had CUPS patches break it, because SOMEHOW it's now
considered a "you're doing it wrong" case. At most I think the whole
FINAL_CONTENT_TYPE should be exposed as an user-modifiable option somewhere in
the config files.
