[Omniprint-user] strange problem with CUPS

[Rafael A. de <raf...@ic...>]

With the latest OMNI from the CVS I am having some troubles with CUPS.

When printing a ps file, /etc/cups/error_log will report:

StartJob(7, 0x8086ec0)
D [30/Mar/2003:12:31:11 -0300] StartJob() id = 7, file = 0/1
E [30/Mar/2003:12:31:11 -0300] Unable to convert file 0 to printable format for job 7!
I [30/Mar/2003:12:31:11 -0300] Hint: Do you have ESP Ghostscript installed?
D [30/Mar/2003:12:31:11 -0300] CancelJob: id = 7


I have espgs installed (7.05.6) and I can generate a printer file with

gs -sDEVICE=omni -sDeviceName=XMLOmniDevice -sproperties='XMLMasterFile="Epson LQ-570+.xml"' -sOutputFile=temp.lpr temp.ps 


OmniDeviceTester also works.

Thanks for any help.

Mike,

Do you know what is causing this error?
Google searches seem to indicate that it might be because the cups driv=
er
in ghostscript is not installed.  But Rafael seems to be using it.

Well, without knowing how your current filter is interfaced to
CUPS, I can only guess that the ghostscript-cups package (which has
the pstoraster script and pstoraster.convs files that CUPS is looking
for) is not installed...

I updated omni and made the path in the ppds absolute (/usr/share/Omni/something.xml). Now it is working...

I am not sure what the problem was :(
