FYI: cups-filters OBS submitrequest 196881: Renamed cups/banners/* files and cups/data/testprint to avoid a file conflict with CUPS which also provides those files.
Ghostscript 9.10 Release Candidate 1 is available from home:jsmeix:branches:Printing CUPS 1.7 Release Candidate 1 is available from home:jsmeix On my openSUSE 12.3 virtual machine (i586) with a HP LaserJet 1020 USB printer I run now: cups-1.7rc1 ghostscript-9.pre10rc1 installing it requires "rpm -Uhv --force" because "zypper vcmp 9.07 9.pre10rc1" tells "9.07 is newer than 9.pre10rc1" which is o.k. for me because it avoids an unintended overwrite of the latest officially released Ghostscript 9.07 by a release candidate - on the other hand the release candidate can later simply upgraded to 9.10 because "zypper vcmp 9.10 9.pre10rc1" tells "9.10 is newer than 9.pre10rc1". cups-filters-1.0.36 that requires additionally libqpdf13 (its source package is qpdf) I did the following adjustments: # cp -p /etc/cups/cupsd.conf /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.backup # cp /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.rpmnew /etc/cups/cupsd.conf I disabled all lines in /etc/cups/pstotiff.convs (strange file from HPLIP - I need to ask upstream what the reason behind is - I guess it has something to do with faxing) otherwise one gets weird filtering e.g. of PostScript input via pstotiff and imagetopdf (printing works nevertheless). # systemctl restart cups.service Printing PostScript, plain text, PDF and PNG works for me on my local HP LaserJet 1020 USB printer using: # echo hello | a2ps -1 -o- | lp -d HP_LaserJet_1020 # echo hello | lp -d HP_LaserJet_1020 # lp -d HP_LaserJet_1020 \ /usr/share/ghostscript/9.10/examples/text_graphic_image.pdf # lp -d HP_LaserJet_1020 /usr/share/icons/hicolor/256x256/apps/HPmenu.png Using "grep PID /var/log/cups/error_log" you can see what filters are run by CUPS for each kind of print job data. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to cups in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1061069 Title: CUPS 1.6 has major incompatible changes.
