[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#664031: cups: Printer stalls with message "rendering completed" (origin unconfirmed)

[Jean-Christophe Haessig]

Package: cups
Version: 1.5.0-13
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I found out rencently that one of my printers, a HP Photosmart C4600 series
does not print anymore.
The jobs just stall in the queue with the message "rendering completed".

I’m trying to print photos from Gimp.

Until yesterday, I was up to date with wheezy.

My other printer seems to be also affected, but it is a network printer
connected to another box, and here jobs just disappear after some time, as if
they had been processed.

I know it was working in January, because I printed a lot at this time.

I tried to downgrade printing related packages (cups, hplip, foomatic...) with
snapshot.debian.org, but to no avail.

I did many incremental steps, but it never changed anything. I finally figured
out that to really use the older drivers I had to delete the printer before
connecting it again, so it is created fresh, but this didn’t help either.

Any ideas of what I could try next ?

Thanks.
