Description xeddvok7bd7464n2 2011-06-07 22:04:42 UTC
DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM:

The HPIJS (''Brother HL-2030 Foomatic/hpijs-pcl5e') and Foomatic ('Brother HL-2030 Foomatic/hl1250') drivers for my Brother HL-2030 printer did not work until I created the following symlink:

    su -c 'ln -s /usr/bin/foomatic-rip /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip'

Before, I always got this error message in '/var/log/cups/error_log':

    E [07/Jun/2011:15:49:33 +0200] Unable to execute /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip: No such file or directory
    E [07/Jun/2011:15:49:33 +0200] [Job 94] Unable to start filter "foomatic-rip" - No such file or directory.
    E [07/Jun/2011:15:49:33 +0200] [Job 94] Stopping job because the scheduler could not execute a filter.

This is a bug in 'foomatic-filters' package because the symlink should be created automatically when installing the package.


VERSION-RELEASE NUMBER OF SELECTED COMPONENT (IF APPLICABLE):

foomatic-filters-4.0.7-2.fc15.i686 [fedora]

The symlink is there in the manifest.

$ rpm -qlv foomatic-filters
drwxr-xr-x    2 root    root      0 Mar 14 15:04 /etc/foomatic

On my freshly installed Fedora 15 system here, I have that symlink.
