The output should be at least a screenful of text. Do you still get your previous output with cupsfilter -p /etc/cups/ppd/Samsung_ML-191x_252x_Series.ppd -m printer/foo /etc/nsswitch -e > out.prn ? That is, don't direct the error output to a file but to the screen. How about cupsfilter /etc/nsswitch > out.prn ? That should give more than one line of output. (Unable to determine MIME type of "/etc/nsswitch" is perturbing). -- Brian.
