Bug#935004: cups-filters: print test page problem solved by upgrading to github version (1.25.1)



Sorry for the delay, I just ran 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get remove cups-filters' and 'sudo apt-get install cups cups-filters hplip printer-driver-gutenprint printer-driver-hpcups' and I saw that it is trying to install the same version of cups-filters as I had reported the bug in. Can you explain how I should install the version you uploaded to Debian Unstable? I don't often use Debian so I am not familiar with this process.

Also, is there a reason why you think the new version would fix the problem? Perhaps since my time is limited and no one else has reported this bug, we should regard it as a potential misconfiguration, or an issue that may have arisen from my trying to install and then uninstall the Github cups-filters package as I explained in my original report.

Thanks!

Dear Maintainer,

I get the following error when trying to print a test page on my inkjet (via
the web interface):

    Print Test Page
    Print Test Page HP_Photosmart_Plus_B210_series Error

    Unable to print test page:

        Unsupported format "text/plain".

I will try to attach the PPD.

The software works fine when I install the latest version of cups-filters
from GitHub. Here is something from error log

I have just uploaded 1.25.2 to Debian unstable; could you try this version,
from the Debian repos?

Cheers,
   OdyX
