I use a Samsung laser printer from Ubuntu which has worked fine for over a year but after upgrading to 9.10 I received the 'cups-insecure-filter' error.
After reading other threads and here, I first changed the owner of /usr/lib/cups/filter and /usr/lib/cups/backend to root, but I still got the errror. Then I looked in the /usr/lib/cups/filter directory and saw three samsung files that were not owned by root. After running sudo chown root:root rastertosamsung* in the /usr/lib/cups/filter directory my printer worked again. I would suggest anyone having this problem look for any files in this directory not owned by root and change them. -- Printing fails with 'cups-insecure-filter' https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/436544 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
