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--
