Package: cupsys Version: 1.2.7-4etch5 Severity: normal Hi,
I'm running a thin-client. The box running the apps sends print jobs (and graphics to the Xserver) to the box on my desk. The box on my desk has a hp laserjet 1100 connected via parallel port. The box running the apps is running the printer driver, whatever it is that does all the processing, and sending raw print output via ipp to the box on my desk for printing. (Both running cups of course.) When I use xsane to "copy", producing a print job, the job seems to print correctly but remains in the queue. FWIW, something simple like 'echo foo | lpr' prints and disappears from the queue, as does printing a text document with nothing in it but 'foo' from OpenOffice. /var/log/cups/error_log says: E [25/Oct/2008:06:28:52 -0500] PID 29137 (/usr/lib/cups/backend/ipp) crashed on signal 9!

Let me know if you need further information.
