I had some difficulties to login the past days.
Let's forget for a moment cups-1.6.1.
I would like to concentrate on cups-1.5.4 in which Epson LQ-300 does not advance to next page and hangs after printing a file.
It seems that it is a problem of Slackware-14 and its offsprings like Salix-14 and Slackel-14.
If I remove cups-1.5.4 and reinstall cups-1.4.6 Epson LQ-300 prints correctly.
There is no problem like this in the current KNOPPIX or Crunchbang both of them debian based.
I posted the problem to LinuxQuestions.org in the forum for slackware under section hardware. There is no reply as of now.
Regards

Hi Pedro,
You didn't mention if you had the cups-filters package installed with
cups-1.6.1.
On Linux, cups-1.6 and later need the cups-filters package which has the
pdftops, pdftopdf, etc filters.

Why would the filters not found for both of my printers with cups-1.6.1?

Pedro,
The Epson driver included with CUPS hasn't changed. I can't speak to the Brother driver as we don't provide one.
What OS/Linux distribution are you using?
My Linux system is Slackware, in particular Salix-Xfce4-14.The Epson driver included with CUPS hasn't changed. I can't speak to the Brother driver as we don't provide one.

I have 2 printers, Epson LQ-300 24-pin and a Brother DCP-385C. For years I have been using cups with no problems until and including the version 1.4.6.
When I upgraded to version 1.5.4 the Epson printer would hang after printing a file and would not advance to the next page. For more printing I had to switch the printer off and on again.
I then installed cups-1.6.1 and can't print at all. An error shows for both printers that the filters cannot be found, yet they are right there in /usr/libs/cups/filter.
I had to reinstall cups-1.4.6 in order to print again.
Any solution?
