Description of problem: My printer (an HP 6310 inkjet) is a little overzealous and starts giving warnings about low ink long before it actually starts printing faded pages. I used to just ignore the warnings and replace the ink when actually needed. The latest update to cups now generates a show-stopping error instead of just a warning and won't let me print until I replace the cartridge. This is way too expensive and wasteful. Note that I'm reporting the error-handling behaviour, not the low-ink setting. There are plenty of times I don't mind faded documents for personal use and would like the printing system to proceed regardless. Version: 1.4.2 Release: 28.fc12 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to print anything when the ink is reported as low but not empty Actual results: Error forbids any printing at all Expected results: Nagging
Similar to Bug #573891. Can you attach output from Printing troubleshooter ? https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Printing/Debugging#Printing_troubleshooter Thanks

'D [06/Apr/2010:21:19:14 -0400] [Job 33] prnt/hpcups/HPCupsFilter.cpp 361: DEBUG: Bad PPD - hpPrinterLanguage not found', Looks like duplicate of Bug #579355. Please delete the printer queue and configure it again to see if this is only duplicate of #579355 or also some other bug.
Actually, if you haven't deleted the printer queue yet it would be great if you could test whether a new set of packages fixes the problem for you. hplip-3.10.2-3.fc12 http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=165851 Download the packages for the architecture you are using and then run this command as root: yum update --nogpgcheck hplip*.rpm hpijs*.rpm libsane-hpaio*.rpm Then try printing. Hopefully this will avoid the need for you (or anyone else) to have to re-create all their printer queues.

Drat, I was just posting that everything was working again after deleting and re-creating the printer when I got the following: "Mid-air collision detected! Someone else has made changes to bug 579760 at the same time you were trying to." I'll try rolling back to the initial F12 release packages, and see if I can re-create the situation.
Okay, rolling back to initial F12 release created too many dependency problems, but I was able to downgrade to the 3.9 series. The problem re-appeared upon updating to the 3.10 versions currently in updates. Then trying your new builds fixed it without needing to re-create the printer. So it looks like the latest builds work, at least here. Thanks for your prompt help, Jiri and Tim.
