User error, though the warning from foomatic-rip could have been a bit
more informative.  Failed, why?


/var/log/cups/error_log:

I thought that it was the filter which was bad ...

Job stopped due to filter errors because ...  will be better (if it possible)

I've had a number of occaisions where cups has just failed for me like
that with a ...foomatic-rip failed message. On different occaisions
I've had different solutions work: 


purge cups* and foomatic* and
anything else printing related I can find and start over 


remove ~/.gnome (not sure why this worked, but it did once).

remove the existing printer, shutdown cups completely, restart it
and re-add the printer

other mysterious mumbo-jumbo that magically fixes printing... :(


It's a big complicated system and seems overly prone to breakage IMO.


I did all everything you explained to me but always .../foomatic-rip failed.

However it's ok now :-) 
The problem was caused by me ;-)

I use apt-listbugs and I saw six bugs on ghostscript so I put hold in
the selections file.

But five bugs have been corrected and so I decided to upgrade
ghostscript and after that the jobs of the spool is sent to the printer.

I apologise for the inconvenient caused.

Well, it would, wouldn't it?

We learn things which educate and may come in handy later.  Why
apologise?  :-)

 My printer HP Photosmart C7280 printed fine until I upgraded my sid box

 and now cups gives:
 /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip failed

 (the script perl /usr/lib/filter/foomatic-rip exits on my system)

 hp-setup (as root) gives:

 Session management error: 
 Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols 
 specified are supported and host-based authentication failed


 I can't print anything now, SOS ...


I'd worry about that Authentication Rejected bit first.  Then try
falling back to another model name of the same type printer, an
earlier version.  I used an Epson that way recently.

I thank the DDs for their efforts in making this possible.  I had a
devil of a time trying to do this in Sarge, but Etch appears far more
amenable to nutbars like us non-CUPS users.  Great job!


My problem is partialy solved:
I have downloaded the ppd driver for my HP Photosmart C7280 at:

http://www.openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-PhotoSmart_C7200

and I replaced the driver supplied by the debian package by this one and
now hp-setup and hp-toolbox work fine but:

I can scan a document.
I can make a copie of a document (from the computer)

I can't print a file, always I get: /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip failed 


Thanks for your help.

Second possibility: rip out all the cups related cruft, find a ppd
from hp for your machine, install gs foomatic-filters
foomatic-db-engine and lpr/lprng, then hack /etc/printcap (this is for
lprng):
