Public bug reported:
After upgrading to Intrepid from Hardy on PPC, I cannot print anymore.
I've got a Brother HL-1430 laserjet printer using the recommended PPD.
The "data" LED of the printer blinks for a second, and then shuts off
again.
If I try with the test page, it comes off blank, or with some grey
squares (but in Hardy it came with the Ubuntu logo and all).
For example, trying "man -Tps printf | lpr" doesn't print anything; nor
it works from any other application (e.g. a PDF in evince). The queue is
always empty when using PS files, else when printing PDFs from evince it
stays in queue indefinitely.
In response to what I send to the printer, looking at the logs, I can
see:
D [17/Sep/2008:15:22:01 +0200] PID 8428 (/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstopdf) exited

I'm attaching the cups error_log.
Quite severe in importance, imho. This is a machine shared by a lot of users,
so none of them can print as long as this lasts.
