I tried to setup a hp lj 5l with printconf-gui. It dedected the printer and I choose the default driver. But when I tried to print a test page nothing happend. I searched all the logs, debugged the perl scripts and eventually found out that the config file "lj4dith-62720.foo" has a line 'cmd' => '' instead of the proper gs commandline and hence lpdomatic failes "Cannot exec: ". Next I tried to set it up as lj 4. Now the system produces some gs errors: IF filter 'mf_wrapper' filter msg - 'cat: write error: Broken pipe' at 2001-11-13-14:33:14.634 ## A=root@ws10+376 number=376 process=8378 IF filter 'mf_wrapper' filter msg - 'Error: /ioerror in --.outputpage--' at 2001-11-13-14:33:14.721 ## A=root@ws10+376 number=376 process=8378 IF filter 'mf_wrapper' filter msg - 'Operand stack:' at 2001-11-13-14:33:14.721 ## A=root@ws10+376 number=376 process=8378 IF filter 'mf_wrapper' filter msg - ' 1 true' at 2001-11-13-14:33:14.721 ## A=root@ws10+376 number=376 process=8378 IF filter 'mf_wrapper' filter msg - 'Execution stack:' at 2001-11-13-14:33:14.721 ## A=root@ws10+376 number=376 process=8378
I forgot to metion 1) printconf-0.3.52-1, ghostscript-6.51-16 2) These are the errors in /var/spool/lpd/lp/status.lp when printing the a4-ps test page
The omni driver seems to work (at least the test page is printed).
Same problem with HP LJ1100: lj4 produces gs errors, omni works.

Oh, this is with 7.2, but #36720 is with 7.1. Looks like a different bug after all.
Do the packages at <ftp://people.redhat.com/twaugh/errata-candidate/> help?
Yes, the errate fixes the problem.
