Package: cups Version: 1.4.4-7 Severity: normal I bought a new printer, installed the drivers, tried to print test page:
▼ ID ▼ Name User Size Pages State Control Epson_Stylus_SX425W-4 Test Page root 1k Unknown processing since Mon Jan 31 18:20:46 2011 "/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstopdf failed" 5 mins later: ▼ ID ▼ Name User Size Pages State Epson_Stylus_SX425W-4 Test Page root 1k Unknown stopped "/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstopdf failed" Looking at the logs, I have spotted a message: cat: write error: No space left on device And yes, it was the problem for me. /var was 100% full. After cleaning up, printing works fine. I think it would be a good idea to extend the pstopdf failed message with the error message, for example: pstopdf failed (no space left on device) -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages cups depends on: ii adduser 3.112+nmu2 add and remove users and groups ii bc 1.06.95-2 The GNU bc arbitrary precision cal ii cups-client 1.4.4-7 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii cups-common 1.4.4-7 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii cups-ppdc 1.4.4-7 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.36 Debian configuration management sy ii ghostscript 8.71~dfsg2-9 The GPL Ghostscript PostScript/PDF ii libavahi-client3 0.6.27-2 Avahi client library ii libavahi-common3 0.6.27-2 Avahi common library ii libc6 2.11.2-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcups2 1.4.4-7 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libcupscgi1 1.4.4-7 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libcupsdriver1 1.4.4-7 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libcupsimage2 1.4.4-7 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libcupsmime1 1.4.4-7 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libcupsppdc1 1.4.4-7 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.24-4 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libgcc1 1:4.4.5-8 GCC support library ii libgnutls26 2.8.6-1 the GNU TLS library - runtime libr ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.8.3+dfsg-4 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries - k ii libijs-0.35 0.35-7 IJS raster image transport protoco ii libkrb5-3 1.8.3+dfsg-4 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.23-7 OpenLDAP libraries ii libpam0g 1.1.1-6.1 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpaper1 1.1.24 library for handling paper charact ii libpoppler5 0.12.4-1.2 PDF rendering library ii libslp1 1.2.1-7.8 OpenSLP libraries ii libstdc++6 4.4.5-8 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.12-16 userspace USB programming library ii lsb-base 3.2-23.2squeeze1 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii poppler-utils 0.12.4-1.2 PDF utilitites (based on libpopple ii procps 1:3.2.8-9 /proc file system utilities ii ssl-cert 1.0.28 simple debconf wrapper for OpenSSL ii ttf-freefont 20090104-7 Freefont Serif, Sans and Mono True ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime Versions of packages cups recommends: ii cups-driver-gutenprint 5.2.6-1 printer drivers for CUPS ii foomatic-filters 4.0.5-6 OpenPrinting printer support - fil ii ghostscript-cups 8.71~dfsg2-9 The GPL Ghostscript PostScript/PDF Versions of packages cups suggests: ii cups-bsd 1.4.4-7 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - pn cups-pdf <none> (no description available) ii foomatic-db 20100630-1 OpenPrinting printer support - dat pn hplip <none> (no description available) pn smbclient <none> (no description available) ii udev 164-3 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo pn xpdf-korean | xpdf-japanese | <none> (no description available) -- debconf information: cupsys/raw-print: true cupsys/backend: ipp, lpd, parallel, scsi, serial, socket, usb, snmp, dnssd -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
