When I looked at the CUPS log files earlier today, I did not have
debugging enabled, in the file /etc/cups/cupsd.conf. I changed the line
LogLevel warning to LogLevel debug as described in the site below,
and when I try to print there is much more information sent to the
error_log file.
http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/Database/CupsFAQ
How do I enable debugging?
1. Edit the file /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
2. Change the line LogLevel to debug.
3. Restart cupsd. killall -HUP cupsd
I have retried printing from OOo, with the same outcome of lines of
symbols. These are the log file entries;
