Description Aaron Sowry 2013-06-17 14:18:46 UTC

Description of problem:
Setting up a new IPP printer queue results in an error message:

Printer 'io' requires the '/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstopxl' program but it is not currently installed.  Please install it before using this printer.

AFAIK this filter has been renamed to "gstopxl" in the ghostscript package for quite some time.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
system-config-printer-1.4.1-6.fc19.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add new IPP printer via system-config-printers
2.
3.

Additional info:
I realise that the actual bug is probably further down in the stack (perhaps in CUPS, or even a missing pstoxpl->gstopxl symlink in ghostscript), feel free to reassign if this is the case.

Comment 1 Jiri Popelka 2013-06-17 14:49:50 UTC

Can you attach PPD file (named io.ppd I guess) from /etc/cups/ppd/ ?

Comment 2 Aaron Sowry 2013-06-17 15:57:18 UTC

/etc/cups/ppd/ is empty. Perhaps I should have mentioned that I configured the printer by specifying a URL.

Anyway, in the PPD file on the printserver (RHEL 5.9) I notice:

*cupsFilter:    "application/vnd.cups-postscript 100 pstopxl"
*cupsFilter:    "application/vnd.cups-pdf 0 pstopxl"

Ergo, PEBKAC :)

Comment 3 Tim Waugh 2013-06-17 15:59:53 UTC

Ah... system-config-printer should only check local PPDs, but it seems like it checked a remote one here.

Comment 4 Tim Waugh 2013-06-18 15:04:35 UTC

Should be fixed upstream in commit aad2dbc.
