Till, The printer is a kodak aio hero 9.1 and the driver is my c2espC driver, with command filter command2esp. This all used to work, for both print self test and clean heads. But recently I noticed that it no longer worked.
However, if I make a text command file called "selftest" containing #CUPS-COMMAND PrintSelfTestPage and then send that page to the printer via cups using lpr selftest The printer does generate its selftest page. So it seems like cups and my command filter still work. That makes me think this could be a problem with system-config-printer. Do these command buttons in system-config-printer currently work for other printers that have command filters? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to system-config-printer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1500636 Title: commands passed to cups fail. File missing Status in system-config-printer package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: xubuntu 15.04 64 bit system-config-printer 1.5.6 when I click the button "Print self test page", I expect the printer to produce a self test page instead I get error "client-error-bad-request" and no self test page. the cups error log has the entry Print-Job client-error-bad-request: No file in print request. Note that I can get the printer to generate the self test page by printing a command file from terminal. So it seems that system-config-printer is not providing the command file, or not providing the command filename to cups?
