Package: foomatic-db-hpijs Version: 20061031-1 Severity: normal
I hope this report is filed against the correct package. Problems printing with CUPS to a HP-710C deskjet, eventually traced to pnm2ppa not being present. I fixed the problem with apt-get install pnm2ppa. The following reply received from the Cups mailing list is what led to the discovery: Well, the printer is driven by foomatic-rip, and the printer's PPD specifies the following command to be executed: D [21/Jun/2007:17:33:14 +0100] [Job 230] renderer command: gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dPARANOIDSAFER \ -dBATCH -r600 -sDEVICE=ppmraw -sOutputFile=- - | pnm2ppa -v 710 -B 2 -t 10 -b 150 -l 10 \ -r10 -x 160 -y 50 -i - -o - But the command requested in that shell sequence, ppm2ppa, is not found, at least not using the search path values defined in the PATH variable: D [21/Jun/2007:17:33:14 +0100] [Job 230] sh: pnm2ppa: command not found Thus, Ghostscript comlains about not being able to write data to STDOUT: E [21/Jun/2007:17:33:17 +0100] [Job 230] /ioerror in --.outputpage-- -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-686 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages foomatic-db-hpijs depends on: ii foomatic-db 20061031-1 linuxprinting.org printer support ii foomatic-filters 3.0.2-20061031-1.2 linuxprinting.org printer support ii hpijs 2.6.10+1.6.10-3 HP Linux Printing and Imaging - gs foomatic-db-hpijs recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
