gutenprint-5.0.1-3.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. Tested gutenprint-5.0.1-3.fc7* on a Fedora 7 i386 machine. This was printing via cups from an F7 machine to a fully updated FC5 machine. Error message: /var/log/cups/error_log: blah ... Print file was not accepted (Unsupported format 'application/octet-stream'!)! On which machine do you see that in the error_log file? I don't think this is related to the gutenprint update. That was on the FC5 machine. Printing from an FC6 machine to the FC5 machine works happily. Printing on the FC5 machine itself works. That seems like an FC-5 problem, not related to the gutenprint update. gutenprint-5.0.1-3.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. The Epson C42 prints a test page ok when connected directly to the fully updated Fedora 7 box. Looks like cups-1.2.8-1.fc5 has become incompatible with cups-1.2.11-2.fc7. Should I raise a fresh bug report? David, it sounds like your FC-5 installation has an incorrect configuration (perhaps /etc/cups/mime.types no longer lists application/octet-stream). Unfortunately FC-5 and earlier were prone to that sort of thing because the configuration tool was more "delicate". FC-5 is now past end of life; I recommend you upgrade it. If you must stick with FC-5, however, you'll need to try fixing the configuration. OK, fixed the config file. here's the info for anybody else who hits this problem. The FC5 cups config file /etc/cups/mime.types contains the line # application/octet-stream to be commented-in if you want raw printing. F7 seems to want to do raw printing by default if it sends a job to an FC5 print server running cups. When I commented in the config line, it looked like this: application/octet-stream but you need to be careful to make it look exactly like this (i.e. no leading space character): application/octet-stream otherwise the cups in FC5 won't accept jobs from F7. As Tim said, this is nowt to do with the gutenprint problem, and only partially to do with F7. |
