-- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to cups in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1200919 Title: /usr/share/cups/drv/cupsfilters.drv broken Status in “cups” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “cups-filters” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Did buy a Brother MFC8510 printer that worked out-of-the box (after changing the protocol the printer is accessed with at http://localhost:681, that is, since dnssd seems not to fully work for me, see the warning) but stopped working about 2 months ago. At the same time /var/log/cups/error_log started to fill with the following warning: E [13/Jul/2013:14:28:13 +0200] [cups-deviced] PID 2778 (dnssd) stopped with status 1! E [13/Jul/2013:14:28:40 +0200] [cups-driverd] Bad driver information file "/usr/share/cups/drv/cupsfilters.drv"! moving the file away stopped the warnings and returned my printer to a working order again. Will attach the file to this bug report: Didn't find it in apt-cache so I assume it might be a remains from an old version of an package.
