Well, if cups has had a component filter down from unstable since I did what I think was an accidental upgrade, and you don't do a lot of printing, you might not have noticed the outage. But maybe I'm just smokin' something. Anyway, a delete and re-addition of my printers worked. Since I started with a purged cups & friends, then re-installed and copied over the old /etc/cups files, the most recent reason for failure was the lack of the Canon file in /lib/blah... Recreating the printers fixed it. Maybe those files are getting removed on a semi-random basis somehow... -- Your true value depends entirely on what you are compared with. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I'm running the most recent testing, I can still print via CUPS and KDE. In the past, I've had it fail to print for no obvious reason. Going into CUPS' Web admin tool, removing, then readding the printer somehow resolved the problem. I readded it exactly as it existed previously.

The day that Woody became the stable release, I had already done an "apt-get -t testing dist-upgrade", just like a thousand times before. It upgraded some cups & related files, which I thought was odd. Since then, cups has been non-functional. It'll accept jobs, and the web interface shows the printers as being online and ready, but jobs never get to them. In /var/log/cups/error_log, I get the following: I [25/Jul/2002:14:58:07 -0500] Listening to 0:631 I [25/Jul/2002:14:58:07 -0500] Sending browsing info to c0a802ff:631 I [25/Jul/2002:14:58:07 -0500] Configured for up to 100 clients.

This was after a remove & purge of cupsys and some dependencies, then a normal "stable" apt-get install of cupsys & overlay of old configuration files that hadn't changed (that I can tell) since before the upgrade. Before, previous "PID stopped with status 22!" messages referred to other filters. The error above may mean that I should delete the printer in question and re-install it, since the /usr/lib/cups/backend/canon backend doesn't exist, but I'm not convinced that something isn't broken in cups at the moment, possibly in testing/sid. - Robert -- Q: Why do people who live near Niagara Falls have flat foreheads?

At Linuxtag I asked somebody from the cups project, and he said, that most likely its a kghostview problem. Since there should be pdf filters installed for cups it might work if you try to print the pdf directly, with kprinter foo.pdf for example.

In addition to kghostview aborting prints, I had quite similar problems with Cups. Every print job mysteriously aborted after a little while before ever getting a page printed out. It was fixed without any explanation by removing & reinstalling cups a few times - this *could* be a Cups problem, too. - Jarno -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

PDF wont print with Kghostview
Hi I have a large PDF of about 150 pages that wont print either in its entirity or in part using KDDE 3.02 and Kghostview. It says its printing and I can see the job go to the spooler, and then disapear. CUPs reports that it aborted the job as there were no pages to print. Kghostview will print say a chapter of it to a file but again that file wont print. Xpdf however whilst not very pretty will print the PDF fine. Any ideas ? Is this something to do with the abilty to make a PDF read only and disable printing of it and if so how do I tell if this is the case with this PDF ?
