Package: foomatic-filters Version: 3.0.2-20061031-1.2
Foomatic-filters provides foomatic-rip that is launched by cupsys daemon. After I tried to print test page on the HP LaserJet 1018, I got following error both in localhost:631 and /var/log/cups/error_log: /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip stopped with status 1! After some very non-user-friendly research, I found that I had to download firmware and install it, which I did and then everything worked. Can foomatic-rip write into logs (or even better - show in the web interface) an hint like following: Have you downloaded firmware for the printer? See page http://blah.blah for details -- Arieh
