With cups 1.2.x my Lexmark river did't work anymore, I get at the command line: n22_uml ~ # ls | lpr -P n22_z600 lpr: Unsupported format 'text/plain'! and a similar message for printing a PS file. The appropriate cups log entry is: localhost - - [27/Nov/2006:18:02:20 +0100] "POST /printers/n22_z600 HTTP/1.1" 200 18639 Print-Job client-error-document-format-not-supported After downgrade to cups 1.1.x the printer works fine again. n22 ~ # emerge --info Portage 2.1.1-r2 (default-linux/x86/2006.1, gcc-3.4.6, glibc-2.4-r4, 2.6.18-gentoo-r3 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.18-gentoo-r3 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1700MHz Gentoo Base System version 1.12.6 Last Sync: Mon, 27 Nov 2006 15:50:01 +0000 ccache version 2.3 [enabled] app-admin/eselect-compiler: [Not Present] dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.30 dev-lang/python: 2.4.3-r4 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: 2.3 dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.60 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.13-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.17-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium-m -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf /etc/java-config/vms/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium-m -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig ccache distlocks metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://pandemonium.tiscali.de/pub/gentoo/ ftp://pandemonium.tiscali.de/pub/gentoo/ http://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo/ ftp://mirror.icis.pcz.pl/gentoo/" LINGUAS="de en" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage/local" SYNC="rsync://rsync.de.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X aac acpi alsa apache2 arts asf berkdb bitmap-fonts bluetooth bzip2 cddb clamav cli cracklib crypt css cups dlloader dri elibc_glibc exif fam fastbuild fortran gd gdbm gif gpm gtk gtk2 hdaps iconv input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse ipv6 isdnlog jai java javascript jimi jpeg kernel_linux libg++ linguas_de linguas_en logrotate madwifi mbox mmx mmxext mysql ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin opengl pam pcre pdf perl png ppds pppd python qt4 readline real reflection rtc samba session spl sse sse2 ssl subversion svg tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode userland_GNU userlocales video_cards_radeon video_cards_vga win32codecs xml xorg xpm zlib" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
Take a look at mime.convs: I had a similar problem on my machine and had to uncomment a line in there. Mine was application/octet-stream and had to uncomment: application/octet-stream application/vnd.cups-raw 0 -
