[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#380663: Supplemental: almost immediate failure

Needing to print a document today, I purged and reinstalled cupsys again.  I
was able to print two copies of my one three-page document.  Now when I try
to print a different, one-page document cupsd exits silently.  I can restart
it at the moment with /etc/init.d/cupsys restart, but printing the document
causes it to exit again.

I just tested on another one-pager, and it also fails.  Again, when I get
the uninformative "Error while printing" message from oowriter, cupsd dies,
but can be restarted.

I also can't print a text file using lp.  Same behavior.

I'll repeat myself.  Nothing should ever exit silently.  Most certainly no
system daemon should do so.
