Bug 213645

I need some more information:

1. 'lpoptions' isn't for listing printers -- try 'lpstat -s'.  What does it say?

2. How exactly are you printing?  Are you running the java program from the
command line?

3. Does printing from other applications work?  Does a test page work?

1. It shows the printer, but the lpoptions command normaly shows the printers
too and additional the status (printer is accepting jobs). Can it be that
javaprinting uses this command for getting available printers?! On the other
side it is strange that the printer prints from java applications if the
language settings in i18n is english....

2. The javaprogramm runs with JavaWebStart and there were no printing-problems
until cups 1.2.2

3. Yes, printing from all other applications works and the test page works too.

Which implementation of Java are you using?

You can find out precisely what it's up to by running this:

strace -p 400

if 400 is the PID of the process.  I'd like to see the strace output from when
it tries to print.

I've tested several versions:
Sun JRE 1.5.0_02 
and now also the newest Version Sun JRE 1.5.0_09

The strace -p shows only:
futex(0xa5839d3c, FUTEX_WAIT, 1, NULL
and when i start printing nothing happens in strace-output.

How about if you run 'tail -f /var/log/cups/error_log' as root while getting the
application to print?

Please edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and change the 'LogLevel' line to read:

LogLevel debug2

Then restart CUPS:

/sbin/service cups stop
>/var/log/cups/error_log
/sbin/service cups start

Print your job and then please attach the /var/log/cups/error_log file here. 
Thanks.

It never submits the job for printing.  We just get:

Additionally, I *have* been able to get print output from a Java web applet
running under Sun's jre1.5.0_09 package.

The 'lpoptions' is not for listing printers, and never has been.  It shows
default printer options, and is working correctly here.

Did you set the language in i18n to German (de_DE)? In english i can print too.
I've "googled" for this problem and found:

In german:
http://www.fedorablog.de/archives/104-Java-druckt-nicht-mehr-auf-Fedora.html 

And another discussion at sun. The bugreport starts with an other problem but at
the middle and the bottom they tell the same problems. 
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6181488

Then the solution is for Sun to fix their Java implementation.  Not a Fedora bug.

For what it's worth, the behaviour seems to be as if they are parsing the output
of 'lpstat', but forgot to set LC_MESSAGES in the environment and don't
understand the translated text ('System Standardziel' instead of 'system default
destination' etc).

And why it works with cups 1.2.1 ?

The German translation wasn't introduced until 1.2.2.
