Bug#886335: cups: cups printer does not print postscript jobs from windows client after upgrade to stretch
Package: cups
Version: 2.2.1-8
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
After upgrade to stretch the shared cups printer, an HP P1102
(configured as: lpadmin -p HP_P1102 \
-v usb://HP/LaserJet%20Professional%20P1102?serial=000000000Q80NARFPR1a \
-m foo2zjs:0/ppd/foo2zjs/HP-LaserJet_Pro_P1102.ppd -E)
does not print jobs from windows client (configured with a generic
Postscript driver, e.g. HP LaserJet 2300 Series PS)
and holds the jobs...
cups/error_log claims "<STDIN>: unknown file type" and
"loadFile failed: temp file: not a PDF file"
Local printing from the linux host has no problem
(the same printer queue is intended to be used from the local linux host and
from the clients on the subnet, i.e. setting up as a "raw" queue is not an
option, I guess)
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I have also tried to (re)configure the printer under another queue name
on the cups web UI, but without any progress...
* What was the outcome of this action?
The same: print jobs from windows client were held with "unknown file type"
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Printed test pages.
