thanks


Thank you for your report, Frederik.

I have no access to Raspbian. All my testing was done on i386 using the
same cups and cups-filters package versions you used.

A full error log would be useful. It will compress very well with gzip
before being sent as an attachment.

Would you also do (as root)

 cupsfilter -p /etc/cups/ppd/<the_b210_ppd> -m printer/foo -e /usr/share/cups/data/default-testpage.pdf > out.dat 2>log

and post log.

What might also prove useful later on is avahi.log from

 avahi-browse -art > avahi.log

avahi-browse is in the avahi-utils package.

Regards,

Brian.
