Hello,

[hhamdani at asagao-jkk ~]$ pkg-get -c | grep cups
           cups        1.2.7,REV=2007.01.22                        SAME
     cupsclient        1.2.7,REV=2007.01.22                        SAME
          cupsd        1.2.7,REV=2007.01.22                        SAME
        cupsdev        1.2.7,REV=2007.01.22                        SAME
        cupsdoc        1.2.7,REV=2007.01.22                        SAME
        libcups        1.2.7,REV=2007.01.22                        SAME
   libgnomecups                       0.2.2                        SAME

Whenever I try to print I get errors along the lines of:

"Error: Unsupported format 'application/postscript'!"

I have edited my /opt/csw/etc/cups/mime.convs file and uncommented the
line for the raw filter and also the one further up with 'pstoraster'
in it (which incidentally does not exist on my system).

Have restarted cupsd, but the error persists.

Can anyone advise on what to do? I've looked far and wide on the net
and the only thing I found was related to the mime.convs file.

I'd very much like to be able to print.

Printer is a HP LaserJet 5SiNX by the way, configuration for the
printer is copied from one of my linux hosts, from which printing works
fine.

Thanks for any help,

Hakim
