Product: foomatic
Component: foomatic
Summary: foomatic-gswrapper causes printing to fail
Version: 2.0.2-20021205.1mdk
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Foomatic, specifically foomatic-gswrapper, as installed with Mandrake, always
fails for my printer, an OfficeJet K60 connected over a SMB connection to a
Win2K server. I have not seen this behavior on any of the few other printers I
have available. It has failed under Mandrake 8.2 forward, and since installing
version 9, I have kept up with all posted package updates.
It fails with the trace I have included below. Mr guess is the script either
munges some of the strings or some other unexpected problem leads to the
"unable to open the initial device" error printed below. However, if I remove
or rename /usr/bin/foomatic-gswrapper, the problem DISAPPEARS and printing
works fine.
