Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: cups
cups has been working correctly on this installation since new. After a
recent upgrade, a HP LaserJet 6L connected via a PRolific PL2305 usb to
parallel interface stopped working. The foomatic/ljet4 driver is used
Using the "Print Properties" dialog, "Print Self-Test Page" fails with
the message
CUPS server error
There was an error during the CUPS operation:
'client-error-document-format-not-supported'
"Print Test Page" accepts the job and prints the ubuntu test page
correctly
However, printing any pdf file fails silently. There is heavy cpu usage
for about a minute on a two-page file, but no attempt to access the
printer. Other files, such as png, also fail to print. The cups error
log for a pdf and a png file, each about 200k, is:
