CUPS Printing problems
I have just tried to move my printer from an old lenny system to my
desktop (running sid).
I seem to have created a printer OK, but an attempt to print a test page
fails. The view error log function on the cups web page shows the
following (I have tried to pickup key parts from a VERY LONG file -
debug is on at the moment)

Can anyone tell from this what is wrong - the log against the job just
says "/usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftopdf failed"
(I note in my older version of cups on lenny this filter didn't exist)
