[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#533468: print failure on PowerPC

Package: cups
Version: 1.3.8-1lenny4.1

Printing fails without error message, the printer (Samsung ML-1610 over USB) 
just outputs a white page when printing the test page, no error message is 
reported.

Further remarks:
 * Tested with the version in stable and the one in testing (1.3.10-2), no 
change.
 * Tested with both splix 1 and splix 2, no change.
 * Tested on an old i386 laptop, works there with splix 1 and splix 2, i 
haven't tested cups/testing on that machine.
 * It used to work on this PPC machine (Mac Mini) some time ago (~1 year, I 
barely use the printer).
 * PPC is big endian, as opposed to i386 which is little endian, it could be 
the significant difference.

If there's any further info I'd be happy to help, I also know how to use a 
compiler, just in case that is required.
