Re: New Cups printer problem

A print test from localhost:631 or from kde prints nothing.

cat printtest.txt > /dev/lp0 prints the simple text file though it must be manually ejected.

less /var/log/cups/error_log ends in multiple lines of "get-printer-attrs: resource name '/printers/Mail PDF' no good!"

Background:  System is Woody with 2.4.18 kernel.
dpkg -l |grep cups and dpkg -l |grep foomatic show the following packages installed (ii):

   cupsomatic-ppd
   cupsys
   cupsys-bsd
   cupsys-client
   cupsys-pstoraster
   kdelibs3-cups
   libcupsys2
   libcupsys2-dev
   foomatic-bin
   foomatic-db

As usual, I seem to have overlooked something, but what?

Stupid question I know, but do you have the "hpijs" package installed? I think it is required with that PPD... You also need GS, but that will automatically be pulled in if you have the hpijs file installed.
