Problem printing Self-Test Pages

Good morning everyone,

I'm being unable to print self-test pages on some printers, on my CUPS server (Debian 'squeeze' + Samba 3.5.6).

Error message I'm getting is the following (in /var/log/cups/error_log):
E [25/Jan/2012:08:54:55 +0000] Returning IPP client-error-document-format-not-supported for Send-Document (ipp://localhost:631/printers/Fotocopiadora) from localhost

And also this message in /var/log/cups/access_log:
localhost - - [25/Jan/2012:08:54:55 +0000] "POST /printers/Fotocopiadora HTTP/1.1" 200 281 Send-Document client-error-document-format-not-supported

Through CUPS Web Administration Tool I get:
Unable to send command to printer driver!
Unsupported format 'application/vnd.cups-command'!

My printers.conf shows this info about the problematic printer:
<Printer Fotocopiadora>

Is there anything I can do to troubleshoot this? I have read that it's related with a recent CUPS update, but it may be not.

Best regards,

See if the filter
/usr/lib/cups/filter/commandtops
exists, and probably in one of your *.convs file the rule
applicataion/vnd.cups-command application/postscript nn commandtops
where nn is an integer around 33, is missing.

Hi Helge,

It works, but it doesn't print information regarding to what we call a "self-test page", just some numbers and the word Postcript.

Thanks for your cooperation.

That's because this is a Ghostscript-based driver and not a real PostScript printer...

(so never mind about the bug - the normal test page is what you will use for this kind of driver...)

Is there anything I can do to troubleshoot this? I have read that
it's related with a recent CUPS update, but it may be not.

See if the filter
/usr/lib/cups/filter/commandtops
exists, and probably in one of your *.convs file the rule
applicataion/vnd.cups-command application/postscript nn commandtops
where nn is an integer around 33, is missing.

To your mime.convs, add the line
application/vnd.cups-command application/postscript 33 commandtops (or add a file, say, repair.convs, to either /etc/cups or /usr/share/cups/mime) and try again.

We don't register the commandtops filter in the *.convs files because it does not apply to all printers...

It needs to be explicitly listed in the PPD or auto-added by cupsd when we see a PostScript PPD.

The issue is that the PPD file lists application/vnd.cups-pdf, which makes cupsd think it is not a simple PostScript printer and cannot use the standard PostScript command filter.

Please file a bug (and include the version of CUPS you are using):

In the meantime, the regular Print Test Page stuff should work...
