Description Jonni 2011-06-08 17:29:59 UTC
Description of problem:

In file-5.05 and above for some reason lets Brother printers with CUPS driver abort the printing process with "No pages found!". Downgrading to file-5.04 makes it work again

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 5.07-2

Comment 1 Elad Alfassa 2011-06-08 19:05:24 UTC
I'm not a developer, but, as far as I know, "file" is not related to cups and shouldn't affect your printing.
Maybe you downgraded cups with it?

Comment 2 Jan Kaluža 2011-06-09 05:01:33 UTC
Brief look at CUPS source codes and .spec file shows that CUPS should not use File anywhere. I don't know CUPS drivers architecture, but maybe it's possible that the driver can somehow use File on its own. What printer/driver exactly do you use?

I will CC CUPS maintainer to get clarification of my ideas above.

Comment 3 Jonni 2011-06-09 08:32:14 UTC
There seem to be some people expieriencing this with brother printers. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=113962 (post from stopstop)

I use a Brother DCP-165C with the original LPR and Cupswrapper Driver (version 1.1.2-2)

Comment 5 Tim Waugh 2011-06-09 10:01:50 UTC
It might very well be that some 3rd party driver uses file(1), in this case the Brother one.

Comment 6 Jan Kaluža 2011-06-09 10:09:05 UTC
Yes, you are right Tim. It was regression in latest File release.
