Description of problem: I am connecting an FC5 install (cups 1.2.1-1.2) to a FC4 prinst server (1.1.x) the FC4 system prints fine locally, however, remote printing yields a "http backend failed error" with an error about not having permissions on /var/run/cups/certs/0. SeLinux disabled. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cups 1.2.1-1.2 worked fine with 1.1.x How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Install printer (Samsung ML-2010) Try to print Actual results: Error above Expected results: print Additional info: cups 1.2.x seem to be giving a lot of distros fits. This particular problem seems more similar to those experinced by users of Ubuntu Dapper Drake than anything I have seen on FC5 forums
Please include the entire error message. Sounds like you are confusing two message, one of them harmless.

Comment on attachment 131397 [details] error log The error did not appear in that file. The error occurs on startup is: D [22/Jun/2006:18:59:03 -0400] Loading attributes for job 7...

The message in comment #3 is harmless; ignore it. The problem with the print job is that the final content type is being marked as printer/Samsung, which the printer claims not to support. Could you please attach the PPD you are using? Thanks.
Actually I don't think I need the PPD -- FINAL_CONTENT_TYPE shouldn't be set to printer/Samsung regardless of that.

Created attachment 131442 [details] PPD I was using gave a foomatic-rip error when I tried using it on the server I tried building cups 1.2.1 on the server and the ppd was rejected
Please try this test update: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2006-July/msg00072.html Does that fix the problem?
With the update the printer prints, however, instead of the document I get a series of lines begining with PJL
That sounds like the wrong driver is selected. What printer model do you have, and which PPD are you using to drive it?
I have a Samsung ML-2010. Samsung claims linux support, but it does not work on up-to-date distros and linuxprinting.org doesn't have an exact match. I have used ML-4500 and ML-1710 ppds from linuxprinting.org both worked with 1.1.x. I have also used an unofficial ML-2010 ppd which I believe was a 1710 ppd modified to correct margin issues.
The ppd is attached in comment #7
If that PPD worked with CUPS-1.1.x (comment #11) I can only think that it's a gdi driver change in ghostscript. Please file a separate bug report against ghostscript. The original problem (the FINAL_CONTENT_TYPE being wrongly set for backends) has been fixed for the next update, so I'm closing this bug report.
