Package: foomatic-filters
Version: 4.0.17-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
I have a good old Canon BJC-250 printer that I've been using for years on my
Linux stations. Currently it's plugged to an old Pentium box (since it's
parport) running Wheezy which acts as a print server. The printer had worked
flawlessly with older distros/CUPS/foomatic versions, and I'm using the
bjc250gs drivers as it is the fastest driver for it (and it allows to tune some
printer-specific features).
However, since having moved all my systems to Wheezy (i386 and amd64, all clean
installs), the bjc250gs driver is unusable for me, since it always causes
foomatic-rip to end abruptly, and therefore nothing is sent to the printer. I
had enabled debugging messages on CUPS, but found nothing interesting except
for this:

stopped with status 9.
It happens on ALL of my Wheezy installs (ranging from that old Pentium MMX-225
box all the way up to a Sandy Bridge i5 laptop). My only workaround is to use
the Gutenprint driver, which not only is slower, but harder to set up and
getting good print quality from that one is not exactly straightforward, unlike
with bjc250gs.
Trying to find documentation or useful resources online with foomatic-related
errors it's like a shot in the dark, because there is nothing clear, just
dozens and dozens of users with the same error, but on different printer/driver
combinations, none of those apply to my case.
