Hi,

I have a problem using foomatic with cups.

Cups works fine using a gimp-print driver but not with any of the foomatic ppds.

I have the symbolic link from /usr/bin/foomatic-rip to /usr/cups/lib/filter/foomatic-rip.

The relevant bit of the cups error log is:

I [22/Jul/2004:15:44:53 +0000] Printer 'BJC4310SP' started by 'root'.
I [22/Jul/2004:15:44:57 +0000] Started "/usr/lib/cups/cgi-bin/printers.cgi" (pid=1750)

Any help really appreciated,

thanks,

Geoff.
