[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#503438: cupsys: ipp printing leaves job in queue

Sun Oct 26 02:20:03 UTC 2008

Package: cupsys
Version: 1.2.7-4etch5
Severity: normal

Hi,

I'm running a thin-client.  The box running the apps sends print jobs
(and graphics to the Xserver) to the box on my desk.  The box
on my desk has a hp laserjet 1100 connected via parallel port.
The box running the apps is running the printer driver, whatever
it is that does all the processing, and sending raw print output
via ipp to the box on my desk for printing.  (Both running cups
of course.)

When I use xsane to "copy", producing a print job, the job seems
to print correctly but remains in the queue.  FWIW, something
simple like 'echo foo | lpr' prints and disappears from the queue,
as does printing a text document with nothing in it but 'foo'
from OpenOffice.

/var/log/cups/error_log says:

The jobs below have all printed, successfully as far as I can
tell.

On the box running the apps:
 Device: ipp
 Make: HP
 Model/Driver: HP Laserjet 1100 -- CUPS+Gutenprint v5.0.0 (en)

On the box on the desk:
 Device: LPT #1
 Make: HP
 Model/Driver: HP Laserjet 1100 -- CUPS+Gutenprint v5.0.0 (en)

So, all the heavy processing appears to be done on the box
running the apps, and the box on the desk just prints.

Let me know if you need further information.

Thanks.
