Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: cupsys
I've got an Ubuntu Feisty server running cups with printers named
Brother_HL-730 and Brother_HL-730_(test). I've configured both
identically, so that the only difference is their name (they both print
to the same physical printer, using the hl7x0 driver, and I've checked
the config files). Printing to Brother_HL-730 works well. When I print
to Brother_HL-730_(test) I get one page with a couple of lines of
postscript code at the top and then a continuous stream of blank pages.
To recover, I have to turn the printer off, cancel the job and then kill
the printing processes on the server.
Renaming Brother_HL-730_(test) to Brother_HL-730_test (i.e. removing the
brackets) solves the problem.
This problem exists on both Dapper and Feisty. My server doesn't run
Gutsy, so I don't know if it is affected.
