Package: cups Version: 1.5.2-5 Severity: important Hello maintainers of cups Debian packages, I am experiencing a very awkward issue.
After the 1.5.0-13 -> 1.5.2-5 upgrade, my printer (an HP LaserJet 1320 connected via parallel port) printed a few pages and then printed a page with the following error message: ERROR: timeout OFFENDING COMMAND: timeout STACK: -mark- -mark- -mark- After that, I have no longer been able to print anything, not even simple text files as in: $ echo test | lpr When I try, the printer does nothing (but sometimes the "printing" LED blinks) and lpq says $ lpq lj is ready and printing Rank Owner Job File(s) Total Size active (null) 503 untitled 1024 bytes but nothing happens for a long time, until I lprm the print job. Since /var/log/cups/error_log says: E [07/Mar/2012:21:40:23 +0100] Filter "oopstops" not found. E [07/Mar/2012:21:40:23 +0100] Filter "hpgltops" not found. E [07/Mar/2012:21:40:23 +0100] Filter "pstoraster" not found. E [07/Mar/2012:21:40:23 +0100] Filter "pstoraster" not found. W [07/Mar/2012:21:40:23 +0100] failed to CreateProfile: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown:The name org.freedesktop.ColorManager was not provided by any .service files W [07/Mar/2012:21:40:23 +0100] failed to CreateDevice: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown:The name org.freedesktop.ColorManager was not provided by any .service files I thought it could perhaps be bug #662025 and tried downgrading foomatic-filters to version 4.0.9-1 (even though I had not upgraded it recently...), but this didn't help. I thought that maybe it needed colord (which I didn't install, as it is only a recommendation, not a dependency, and pulls in many other packages that I would rather avoid seeing on a headless box that should run a print server and only a few other services): I tried installing colord and its numerous dependencies, but this didn't help either. I tried upgrading cups, cups-bsd, cups-client to 1.5.2-6 (currently in unstable), but no joy. If I downgrade to the previously working version: # cd /var/cache/apt/archives/ # dpkg -i cups_1.5.0-13_i386.deb cups-bsd_1.5.0-13_i386.deb cups-client_1.5.0-13_i386.deb cups-common_1.5.0-13_all.deb libcupsdriver1_1.5.0-13_i386.deb cups-ppdc_1.5.0-13_i386.deb libcups2_1.5.0-13_i386.deb libcupscgi1_1.5.0-13_i386.deb libcupsimage2_1.5.0-13_i386.deb libcupsmime1_1.5.0-13_i386.deb libcupsppdc1_1.5.0-13_i386.deb # dpkg --purge cups-filters libcupsfilters1 # dpkg --configure --pending # dpkg-reconfigure cups (enable raw and add parallel backend, that somehow got disabled) I am again able to print text files and PDF files. I have just pinned packages cups-common cups cups-ppdc libcups2 libcupscgi1 libcupsdriver1 libcupsimage2 libcupsmime1 libcupsppdc1 to version 1.5.0-13, but I would of course like to use my printer with up-to-date cups packages! Please help me to figure out what went wrong!
