[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#661866: cups: CUPS states job successful. Only an error page prints, if, anything.

[Brett Ussher]

Hey, Simone;

Thanks for the tip.  I used a different driver: Brother HL-5250DN 
Foomatic/pxlmono.  It seems to print faster than the HL-5170DN which can 
take around 45 seconds before the job starts to print.  The 
Foomatic/pxlmono only takes about 4 seconds before it starts to print.

Also, I've been watching the launchpad bugs mentioned by Brian Potkin.  
Only one of the test files they posted on those bug reports works for 
me.  Not to mention that Ubuntu has decided it is a Brother driver 
error.  I'm not saying it's not, but those drivers have not been touched 
by Brother in four years, and my printer has been working that whole 
time.  So, I'm a little hesitant to point the finger at Brother.

At any rate.  I seem to be working for the time being.  I'll just keep 
an eye out for ghostscript and cups updates and retest the postscript 
driver if I see any.
