Re: /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip failed

Gerard Robin <g.robin3@xxxxxxx>:

My printer HP Photosmart C7280 printed fine until I upgraded my sid box
and now cups gives:
/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip failed

(the script perl /usr/lib/filter/foomatic-rip exits on my system)

hp-setup (as root) gives:

Session management error:
Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols
specified are supported and host-based authentication failed

I can't print anything now, SOS ...

I'd worry about that Authentication Rejected bit first. Then try
falling back to another model name of the same type printer, an
earlier version. I used an Epson that way recently.

Second possibility: rip out all the cups related cruft, find a ppd
from hp for your machine, install gs foomatic-filters
foomatic-db-engine and lpr/lprng, then hack /etc/printcap (this is for
lprng):

lp|To your left: \
:lp=/dev/lp0: \
:force_localhost: \
:if=/usr/bin/foomatic-rip: \
:ppd=/usr/local/etc/HP-LaserJet_6L-ljet4.ppd: \
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp: \
:mx#0:sh:

I thank the DDs for their efforts in making this possible. I had a
devil of a time trying to do this in Sarge, but Etch appears far more
amenable to nutbars like us non-CUPS users. Great job!
