Description ta2002 2005-02-28 23:17:35 UTC
Running 4.2.6 before. Worked fine (except painfully slow).
4.2.7 marked stable, so emerge that. Printer would no
longer print at all. Printer display (Epson CX5400) showed
number 1 followed by picture of ink drop (the printer
itself showed all inks at least seventy percent full).
Reverting to 4.2.6 solved problem.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge gimp-print (and get 4.2.7)
2. try to print anything
Actual Results:  
Would not print at all.

Expected Results:  
print as before

more.

Setting the LogLevel to debug comes up with a megabyte of output
(with nothing obvious to me). I don't want to just upload that
unless you want it (or I could search through it for something
specific).
Comment 1 Heinrich Wendel (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-03-17 00:58:13 UTC
please set the loglevel to debug and post the output, this output is not usefull
Comment 2 ta2002 2005-03-27 21:12:55 UTC
Well, the error file does compress well
(from 1.5 MB to 1816 bytes).

I changed the loglevel in cupsd.conf,
deleted the error logs, and then
restarted cupsd. Attempting to print
created these logs (except the last
few lines) in about three seconds
(if it matters, I attempted to print
the text "hello, world" from kedit).

Did that. Looks like it works now. Closing. Thanks
for your help.
