Some nasty pstopdf bugs were fixed in cups 1.3.8-4, especially one that caused it to try to write to /var/spool/cups/....pdf even if the process had no write access there.
Which version of the package do you have installed? If older than 1.3.8-4, please upgrade to the latest cups and try again. If the bug still persists, feel free to change the status of this report back to “New”. Thank you. ** Changed in: cups (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- Printing with HP DeskJet 720C fails: Couldn't read xref table https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/258577 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
