Package: cups Version: 1.5.0-8 Severity: important * What led up to the situation? I _think_ it is due to an update of cups but since I'm not sure exactly when I stopped being able to access printers, I cannot be absolutely positive. Certainly it did work with earlier versions of cups in wheezy and it fairly comprehensively doesn't work now.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? I think this question is asking me what I tried to do to resolve the problem? I tried purging hplip-cups etc. and printing to a non-HP printer without reinstalling. (I've now reinstalled the stuff for HPs.) I've tried deleting and reinstalling printers multiple times. I've tried installing via the desktop printing setup stuff and via the CUPS web interface. I've tried printing to an HP via USB (HP P2014). This did work. No longer. (The first thing which went wrong was it printing pages of garbage at the end of a job. Now that looks like an idyllic situation - at least something happened!) I've tried printing to a networked Dell (2330dn) using dnssd. (I get three options. I think I've tried them all. I've definitely tried the one which my mother's eMac uses to print with Squeeze.) I've tried ipp. I've tried various ways of specifying the host - name, ip address etc. I've also tried different drivers. I usually just use the generic postscript driver which was working fine but I also downloaded Dell's printer-specific ppd file and tried with that. (I used the "Global PPD specific to the 2330dn for Linux.) I've also tried deleting /var/cache/cups (following a hint found by googling). I've also tried having aptitude reinstall cups, cups-bsd etc. I've confirmed that the Dell, at least, will still print from my mother's machine running Squeeze with the same generic postscript driver I had selected. * What was the outcome of this action? Nothing I do makes any difference. Every print job fails. The printer will not accept the file. That's the message. The further errors seem to vary (possibly depending partly on which wild strategy I'm currently trying). "cups-ipp-wrong-http-version" seems to be quite a common complaint, though. (I suspect some of the others are actually due to my fiddling in ways which likely invalidated my setup in my attempts to try changing anything and everything.) * What outcome did you expect instead? Print prints the file sent to it. That is, cups spools the job, sends it to the printer, the printer springs to life, things whir, bits of dead tree have small amounts of black stuff spread over them in appropriate patterns and a printed page emerges for observers' edification. (I'm a bit hazy on the details here, I admit.) I did look through the other bug reports and read many of them but none seem to be quite the same. But there were 218 so I apologise if I've overlooked something. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (600, 'unstable') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Kernel: Linux 2.6.39-2-powerpc Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages cups depends on: ii adduser 3.113 ii bc 1.06.95-2 ii cups-client 1.5.0-8 ii cups-common 1.5.0-8 ii cups-ppdc 1.5.0-8 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.40 ii ghostscript 9.04~dfsg-2 ii libavahi-client3 0.6.30-5 ii libavahi-common3 0.6.30-5 ii libc6 2.13-21 ii libcups2 1.5.0-8 ii libcupscgi1 1.5.0-8 ii libcupsdriver1 1.5.0-8 ii libcupsimage2 1.5.0-8 ii libcupsmime1 1.5.0-8 ii libcupsppdc1 1.5.0-8 ii libdbus-1-3 1.4.16-1 ii libgcc1 1:4.6.1-15 ii libgnutls26 2.12.11-1 ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.9.1+dfsg-1 ii libijs-0.35 0.35-8 ii libkrb5-3 1.9.1+dfsg-1 ii liblcms1 1.19.dfsg-1+b1 ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.25-3 ii libpam0g 1.1.3-4 ii libpaper1 1.1.24+nmu1 ii libpoppler13 0.16.7-2+b1 ii libslp1 1.2.1-7.8 ii libstdc++6 4.6.1-15 ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.12-19 ii lsb-base 3.2-28 ii poppler-utils 0.16.7-2+b1 ii procps 1:3.2.8-11 ii ssl-cert 1.0.28 ii ttf-freefont 20100919-1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 Versions of packages cups recommends: ii avahi-daemon 0.6.30-5 ii colord 0.1.11-1 ii cups-driver-gutenprint 5.2.7-2 ii foomatic-filters 4.0.9-1 ii ghostscript-cups 9.04~dfsg-2 Versions of packages cups suggests: ii cups-bsd 1.5.0-8 ii cups-pdf 2.6.1-1 ii foomatic-db-compressed-ppds [foomatic-db] 20110831-1 ii hplip <none> ii smbclient 2:3.5.11~dfsg-2 ii udev 172-1 -- Configuration Files: /etc/cups/cupsd.conf [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'/etc/cups/cupsd.conf' -- debconf information: * cupsys/raw-print: false * cupsys/backend: ipp, lpd, serial, socket, usb, snmp, dnssd -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
