Well I've taken the plunge and updated from CUPS 1.1.23 to current 1.2.3 and as expected it didn't go smoothly....

I've pretty much disabled all access restrictions just to get going so I can tighten it up later however when I "Print Test Page" on a printer configured similarly to previous version I get Error: Unsupported format 'application/postscript'!

even lp barfs:
# lp /etc/hosts
lp: Unsupported format 'text/plain'!
#

Log file for above with loglevel set to debug shows

Also, going to the printer's "Set Printer Options" I get Error: successful-ok. Nothing else.


I'm using the stock standard mime.convs mime.types files except the've been edited to allow octect streams so I can print from windows via samba and this DOES work.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers
