Bug#523327: cups: Can't print self-test page
Package: cups
Severity: normal
For an Epson 1290, CUPS offers both "Print test page" and "Print
self-test page". The former works fine, producing a CUPS-generated
page. The latter fails, producing the error:
Error from /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstoraster
in the web interface. I can't find a corresponding error in the logs.
This seems to be because the relevant bit of log is missing: the last
rotated logfile error_log.1.gz ends at 05:20 this morning, the current
log file error_log starts at 12:28 today, and there is also a logfile
error_log.O which is 1,048,589 bytes long and contains entries from a
few seconds apart all in the minute of 12:28. I tried to print the
self-test page at about 12:23. It looks as though the logging system
got rather busy and some entries were lost altogether...
