CUPS broken (as in printing, not coffee !)
Hi,
Another problem after a Sid upgrade. CUPS dosn't print anymore.
Symptoms are :
- printing from OpenOffice on <lp> wakes up the printer (some noise) but
nothing prints. Not job in CUPS web admin.
- 'lp file.txt' from a terminal give a job, but is marked 'aborted' in
CUPS console
- printing from OpenOffice on Generic Printer gives a nice 'completed'
job in CUPS web console, but nothing on the printer.
For this job, /var/log/cups/error_log gives :

Is there a problem with Gostscript ?
I must admit I'm lost. Printing used to work, so I never took
the time to understand it. My bad. Any help appreciated.
