Hi Volker, I did try "lpr tiger.eps" on two debian system, still one working and the other (laptop) empty (with similar logs). While playing with the laptop, I recreated the PDF printer and now it works!
Luckily I have another debian system that's having the problem, and attached are the /etc/cups/printers.conf from bad(empty) debian and my now good laptop. Was it the application/vnd.cups-pdf line causing problem? -- Bin On Fri, 2011-03-18 at 12:46 +0100, Volker Behr wrote: > >From the log of the empty page you can see that there was no title found > within the original PS file that was sent (by iceweasel) to the printer. > In the good case there was.
