Package: cups
Version: 1.3.8-11
Severity: normal
Printing PDF documents
either through acroread
or through okular
often stops after several pages
displaying the error message:
"/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstopdf failed"
on http://localhost:631/printers/
/var/log/cups/error_log shows
E [24/Sep/2008:11:14:20 +0200] PID 15255 (/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstopdf) stopped with status 1!
E [24/Sep/2008:11:14:49 +0200] [Job 4] Job stopped due to filter errors.
Tried output to a PostScript file
followed by
$ lp file.ps
with the same result.
(file.ps looks fine
with ghostview, etc.)
(I'm not sure why the filter pstopdf is called
in any case; the configured printer driver
is HP...Postscript.)
Thanks
