Package: cups
Version: 1.4.1-1
Severity: normal


I'm seeing this as well with my Brother HL5150-D, basically since I
switched from Gentoo back to Debian in 2006 or so. This happens only for
jobs from the local machine, printing from another box works just fine
(Debian Etch and Windows). Previously, I used to just feed the
postscript file to /dev/usb/lp, avoiding cups altogether, which worked
just fine, but as usblp no longer works together with cups, I was forced
to look into this again. The pstopdf script that Ladislav linked didn't
do the trick for me, but installing cups 1.4.1 from upstream works just
fine. So I guess some debian patch must be at fault. :-/
