Part of my issue with filing a bug report is which package to file the bug report against, but it looks like it's perhaps a cups issue? Maybe it's an xfce issue, since that's the DE I'm using, but I did try lxde and it does the same thing. I have spent so much time on this already that I didn't want to set up an account to file a bug report and try to figure out Debian's bugzilla system, and then spend a bunch of time doing more trouble-shooting. > Let's answer nevertheless.

I performed the 'make uninstall' first, then I shut down my pc for the evening and the next day I installed the c2esp package from the sid repo. And yes, I just checked the /usr/lib/cups/filter directory and there is a file called c2esp. Output from the ls -l command for that entry: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 83347 Aug 24 13:39 c2esp (The reason it shows a date and time of this afternoon is probably because I had removed the c2esp package in synaptic then built the c2esp 17 package from sourceforge, before I got this reply.) That older version of c2esp is not making a difference, I'm getting a slightly different but similar error when I try to print.

This should be harmless. I just installed colord (now that I know what it was about...) so that part of the error isn't showing up anymore. > > E [22/Aug/2011:10:04:52 -0700] KODAK_ESP_5200_Series_AiO: File > > "/usr/lib/cups/filter/c2esp" not available: No such file or directory > > I suspect you installed the c2esp package first (installing said file) and > "make uninstall" afterwards, deleting it… At this point I can't say for sure, and I hadn't previously looked to see if the file existed because I assumed if the error said it wasn't available it wasn't there. > > I then found a message on the related sourceforge site for an error about > > the filter and it suggested setting the log level to debug, which I've > > done and I have output that I can send or upload some place if needed. > > Let's try to solve this step-by-step.

With the previous (v17) driver installed, I'm now getting this error: [Job 3] printer-state-message="/usr/lib/cups/filter/c2esp failed" [Job 3] printer-state-reasons=none Now, I have just performed 'make uninstall' on the v17 driver, I'm going to reinstall the c2esp 18-2 driver from the testing repo. Now in /usr/lib/cups/filter there is a c2esp file: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 74504 Jun 17 13:03 c2esp And I then modified the previously installed printer to point to a revised driver, tried to print and got the same error as before that it failed. Do you want me to re-enable the sid repo and install the 18-4 driver? It seems a bit pointless but I can if you'd like... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
