Bug#380663: Supplemental: almost immediate failure
Needing to print a document today, I purged and reinstalled cupsys again. I
was able to print two copies of my one three-page document. Now when I try
to print a different, one-page document cupsd exits silently. I can restart
it at the moment with /etc/init.d/cupsys restart, but printing the document
causes it to exit again.
I just tested on another one-pager, and it also fails. Again, when I get
the uninformative "Error while printing" message from oowriter, cupsd dies,
but can be restarted.
I also can't print a text file using lp. Same behavior.
I'll repeat myself. Nothing should ever exit silently. Most certainly no
system daemon should do so.
