[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#458909: cupsys: foomatic is not in dependency list - my laserjet wont print

[CeDeROM]

Package: cupsys
Version: 1.2.7-4etch2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


CUPS does not depend on foomatic filters package that is needed to print.
My HP LaserJet could be installed and set-up with config but didnt want to print, except it blinked LED once.

I got the solution by tail -f /var/log/cups/error_log:

E [03/Jan/2008:12:30:27 +0100] PID 4555 (/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip) stopped with status 22!
E [03/Jan/2008:12:30:50 +0100] Filter "foomatic-rip" for printer "hplj4plushpijs" not available: No such file or directory

I have installed foomatic-filters package and printing is working fine :-)
