This isn't a CUPS issue; most likely it is a driver issue (we don't

A STOP error message at the startup of Windows operating system makes your
operating system unbootable and data inaccessible. Few main reasons for
the occurrence of the STOP error message can be file system damage, MBR
(Master Boot Record) corruption, application or utility program errors,
virus infection and more. After the occurrence of a STOP error message,
you need to restore the data from an up-to-date backup to get back all
your data files. However, in case of absence of an updated backup, you
need to use advanced <a
href="http://www.stellarinfo.com/file-recovery.htm">file recovery software
</a> to recover the data.

Consider a practical scenario, where you encounter the below error message
when you attempt to start a Windows 2000 Server based server system:

???STOP: 0x00000069 (0x00000000, 0x00000001, 0x00000002, 0x00000003)
IO1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED???
The four parameters in the above error message differ with computer???s
configuration.

Data saved in the hard drive becomes inaccessible after you encounter the
above error message.

Cause:

The root cause for the occurrence of the above STOP error message is
removing the Computer Associates ARCserve 2000 Backup program from your
system by using Add/Remove Programs (Start > Run > appwiz.cpl).

Resolution:

To resolve the above error and access the data, you will need to perform
an in-place upgrade of Windows 2000 Server operating system. To do so, you
need to follow these steps:
???	Insert the Windows 2000 Server CD in your system???s optical drive
like a CD-ROM drive. Then start your system and press a key on the
keyboard when you receive the prompt to boot from the CD.
???	In Windows 2000 Server Setup, press the ENTER key, when you get the
following option: 
???	To set up Windows 2000 now, Press ENTER 
???	Next, Press F8 to Accept the License Agreement.
???	Windows Setup searches for the hard drive for any earlier
installations of Windows 2000 Server.
???	Use the arrow keys to choose Windows 2000 Server installation that
does not start, and then press R to select the repair option.
???	Follow the commands in Windows 2000 Server Setup for comprehensive
repair of existing Windows 2000 installation.
???	When the Setup completes, remove the Windows 2000 Server CD from the
optical drive.
???	Restart your system.

However, if you encounter the same error message after restarting your
system, the best option is to reinstall Windows 2000 Server operating
system. A clean reinstall of Windows will erase all the critical server
data from the selected hard drive partition. For complete recovery of lost
the lost data from a formatted hard drive partition, you need to use
powerful <a
href="http://www.stellarinfo.com/partition-recovery.htm">partition
recovery software</a>. Such Partition Recovery applications use advanced
scanning mechanisms for complete recovery of the lost data. With highly
graphical and interactive user interface and automated recovery procedure,
these recovery applications work as user-friendly recovery tools. 

Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery is a powerful and reliable File
Recovery tool. The software recovers lost files from corrupted, deleted,
formatted or lost hard drive partitions and volumes. It natively supports
185 diverse file types that can be further extended. The software is
compatible with FAT16, FAT32, VFAT, NTFS and NTFS5 file systems. It
supports Windows 7 (Currently in RC1), Vista, XP, 2003 and 2000.

Hi All. 
I have installed network printer 
DeviceURI lpd://myUserName at tina.cvut.cz/OCE3165
(I use ppd file from
/usr/share/ppd/openprinting/Oce/Oce-VarioPrint_2070PS/1/OCVP2070.ppd.gz
for this printer)

With cups version 1.3.8 (debian Lenny package) all works fine. When I
print over command 

echo test | lp -d MyPrinterName

cups use these filters:

/usr/lib/cups/filter/texttops 
/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstops 

and everything is fine.


But I have problems with version 1.3.10 (debian Sid package). I can't
print any document on this printer. Cups use these filters on this case:

/usr/lib/cups/filter/texttopdf
/usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftopdf 
/usr/lib/cups/filter/cpdftocps 

and I can find these log messages (/var/log/cups/error_log)

Not only that the pstopdf filter cannot cope with some job attributes
the pstops filter of "native CUPS" properly handles (like
"orientation-requested"), it uses Ghostscript to convert PostScript to
PDF, and it sems that the font configuration in your installation
is broken ("/invalidfont in /findfont", and "Helvetica" on the 
operand stack).

File a bug to your Linux distributor - this seems not to be a CUPS issue.

If you like, you could send me a sample print job offline for 
further inspection.

>From http://bugs.debian.org/529903:

  The package's ./configure script is trying to invoke libgnutls-config
and/or libgnutls-extra-config to search for the gnutls library. Newer
versions of gnutls do not ship these scripts anymore.

  Please use another way to search for the gnutls library, e.g.
pkg-config or AC_LIB_HAVE_LINKFLAGS or AC_CHECK_FUNCS. For packages
that already use pkg-config to search for other libraries, pkg-config
will probably be the simplest way.

Please move to "pkg-config --libs gnutls" and "pkg-config --cflags
gnutls".

pitti, this CUPS bug report is about pstopdf, LP bug 382379 is about

Subject: Reading control files in /var/spool/cups/c*
Message-ID: <4634-cups.development@news.easysw.com>

Hi,
I need to know how to read information into the file c* located into /var/spool/cups/.

I use python and at the moment I wrote this "test" code to read some job's information directly reading these file couse lpq and lpstat don'r report the job status and they are too slow (my cups server manage 10000 jobs per day on 200 printers).

"""
jobs = sys.argv[1:]

cmd = "lpstat -l -P all"
retcode, buf = commands.getstatusoutput(cmd)
buf = [' '.join(b.split( )) for b in buf.split('\n') if b.strip()]
job_list = []
for x in range(0, len(buf), 2):
	job_id = buf[x].split('-')[1].split(' ')[0]
	job_list.append(job_id)

for jobid in jobs:
	cont = open('/var/spool/cups/c%s' % jobid, 'r').read()

	if not jobid in job_list\
	and 'J' in cont.split('\x00\x11time-at-completed')[1].split('!')[0]\
	and 'J' not in cont.split('\x00\x12time-at-processing')[1].split('\x00\x11time-at-completed')[0]:
		jobstatus = 'cacelled'

	elif not jobid in job_list:
		jobstatus = 'completed'

	elif 'J' in cont.split('\x00\x12time-at-processing')[1].split('\x00\x11time-at-completed')[0]:
		jobstatus = 'printing'

	elif '\x07no-hold\x03' in cont:
		jobstatus = 'waiting'

	else:
		jobstatus = 'stopped'
"""

As You can see I don't know how status information are written in these files. This code seems to work but doesn't show jobs in the status I called "printing". Is there any reference to the content of these control files?
Can anyone tellme where is the parser for these files into the CUPS sources?

Thankyou

Pier

Hello,
When posting to a custom cgi - i.e. /usr/share/cups/doc/foo.cgi -
the scheduler does not complete the request and client hangs.
The log file - loglevel debug2 - shows this:

d [11/Jun/2009:16:58:41 +0300] POST /authorization.cgi
d [11/Jun/2009:16:58:41 +0300] CONTENT_TYPE =

con->data_encoding=HTTP_ENCODE_LENGTH, con->data_remaining=2862,
con->file=-1

notice that *con->data_remaining* has the size of the cgi file instead of
Content-Length from the POST request.
Looking in the code this happens in the call to get_file() at line 1595 in
scheduler/client.c - function cupsdReadClient().

Regards,
Opher.

The control files are IPP messages.  The CUPS Python bindings (pycups)
should make reading them trivial:

When using jobs to another destination, the currently processed job will
show up at the destination, but will not printed, due to it's state.
The state of these jobs is in this case IPP_JOB_STOPPED; due to a missing
restart-job the job is not easily printable after moving.
Suggest the following patch for this:
--- scheduler/job.c at 8704       Thu Apr 16 21:32:04 2009

+  if (job->state_value == IPP_JOB_STOPPED)
+    cupsdRestartJob(job);

 }

which will restart the job after moving to the new destination.

So ...
researching the code it seems that it is not documented that get_file sets
the value of con->http.data_remaining.
It seems also that *only* the call to get_file() in `case HTTP_GET_SEND'
*may* (I'm not convinced) depend on this behavior.

In addition to the sort of problem that was described above (user has ISP
internet interface), there's another that is an issue for amateur radio
operators using AX.25 networking on Linux.  These ports are used to
transmit information over radio, and it is pretty much always
inappropriate to broadcast packets over those interfaces.

Samba will do that unless you take care --- it has a mechanism where you
can tell it to bind only to selected interfaces, and those of us who use
AX.25 networking have learned the hard way to make sure to use it.

I just learned the hard way that I must turn off CUPS's "Share published
printers..." option on the machine where I have a radio attached.

Adding to CUPS a "bind interfaces only" option similar to that in Samba
would be a Very Good Thing.

I'm pretty sure, now, that no call to get_file() depends on it setting the
value of con->http.data_remaining.
(write_file() sets the value of this variable by itself)

Plus, get_file() set this value erroneously since it casts to int.

Just copy your backend to

Then you can start to use it.

Hi, 

We are using Cups 1.3.7 on RedHat Linux as print server and 1.3.10 on
Fedora 9 as client.
We tried to allow different (LDAP) groups to see some prin

We have two ldap groups and each have to see only their own printers. So
we modified printers.conf and add "AllowUser @STUD" line. But users from
STUD group can not see this printer, even no one. AllowUser option works
fine with usernames. 

The user may login on both server and client machines, also the ldap
configuration is correct. And therefore i think, it is a bug in cups. 

There is a topic in forum with same complaint, but since ca. 4 years no
body answers for this problem. 

If you want we can send you further details, configuration files or
command outputs.

Thanks.

Subject: 2up printing - incorrect page size?
Message-ID: <4640-cups.development@news.easysw.com>

Hello all,

As part of an automated printing solution, I want to print a 2 page (A4 portrait) PDF/PS file onto A3 2up. However, if I say:

lp -o media=A3 -o numberup=2 filename

(or similar in an C Xcode project), the result is that the page size is half as big as it needs to be - i.e. the size it would be if it were printing 2up onto A4. The positioning of the pages is, however, correct.

-o fit-to-page and -o scaling have no effect.

Is there any way I can achieve the results I'm after? I'm trying to avoid using any other methods (printing from Acrobat etc) otherwise the automation is useless! I'm on Mac OSX 10.5.7.

Many thanks,

Dave

The "fit-to-page" option is not supported in CUPS 1.3.x.  "fitplot"  
plus "number-up=2" *should* work as long as the input document  
includes a bounding box for us to map the input pages to the output  
size.

When using an SMB printer in CUPS, its username/password (stored in
/etc/cups/printers.conf) can't contain the '#' character. If an SMB
password contains the '#' character, it causes errors when trying to print
to this printer (the printer URI is automatically truncated in
printers.conf file and printing becomes impossible). Also the '@'
character in SMB passwords are handled somewhat incorrectly (password
string may be partially displayed in printer URI as plain text).

[STR New]

Brother printer HL-5150D was installed under Ubuntu Linux 8.10 32 bit stand
alone computer with no server and USB conncection, using CUPS 1.3.9.
Motherboard os XFX 750aSLI nforce

Several drivers and PPD file were tried using the foomatic database, but
the duplex feature always prints two sided, with flip required to view the
second side.  This occurs whether the duplex is set to off or  either of
the two duplex options.

Installation Notes:
This motherboard required the BIOS setting of USB 1.1 using legacy support
The Brother procedures and driver were tried, but the performance was very
slow - several minutes per page.

Dear Michael,

i'm sure you know much more about CUPS than i do.  However, i tried 4 drivers 
for my printer and the CUPS "Set Printer Options" was not able to affect the 
duplex printing on any of them.  Upon reconsideration, are you sure this could 
not be a CUPS issue?

Peace & Happiness,

Charles

Yes, quite sure, since otherwise duplex printing would be broken for  
all printers and that has not been reported (and I'm quite sure I'd  
catch that since I use duplex all the time...)

The Brother printer in question supports PostScript (BRScript3), so  
there is no reason you can't use the vendor's Windows or Mac OS X PPD  
to print instead of a Foomatic PPD which adds an unnecessary layer  
that in my experience causes more problems than it solves...

Also, recent versions of Ubuntu have adopted alternate print filters  
which might be (accidentally) clearing the duplex option, leading to  
the issues you are seeing.

For me Duplex works very well on my HP printers on all Ubuntu versions, 
using HP's PostScript PPDs for PostScript printers and HPLIP for 
non-PostScript printers.

For many Brother printers Ubuntu ships manufacturer-supplied PPDs which 
will get auto-selected if a matching printer is set up, but Brother did 
not update this PPD collection for longer time. So on newer printers a 
fallnback to a generic PostScript PPD due to the fact that the printer 
is marked as PostScript printer in the device ID can happen. A Generic 
PostScript PPD is not guaranteed to work on all PostScript printers. You 
can find newer Brother PPDs on http://solutions.brother.com/linux/en_us/

Hi Michael,

On Mac OSX 10.5,

I expect that all the selections on the printer dialog can be memorized.

So it can be used again in next print.

How can the driver support like this? Currently everything is go back to default as DRV file defined.

Any suggestion?

Whether or not print settings are retained between consecutive prints
depends on the application's implementation.  Some applications supply a
clean PMPrintSettings object for each print, while others reuse the old
settings.  You cannot depend on either behavior.

If the user wants to preserve print settings they can use Presets, which
require no additional work on your part.

For printer options that is generally the case (it depends on the  
driver's PDE supporting this), but we don't remember page ranges,  
copies, etc.

For the CUPS driver, you mark the defaults in the PPD and then the  
options that are provided on the command-line, then check the marked  
PPD options.

For the PDE, you need to respond to all of the required methods shown  
in the sample code and update your UI based on the options that are set.

OK, then I have no clue why this isn't working for you. We use getgrnam to
lookup the group name, and if that isn't working (vs. getgrgid which is
what ls and id use) then it will never work with CUPS.

Please file a bug with glibc about this; maybe they can track down the
cause.

Normal options are just "pick from a list" or boolean.  Custom options  
can be used to allow user-entered values, but you'll still need a few  
choices for apps that don't support custom options.

See the custom option information here:

I have a Fedora 10 machine (cups-1.3.10) which other Fedora 10 machines can

Will this work with cups version 1.3.10 on fedora 10 within the non web GUI? Or does it have to be 1.4?

Custom options were added in CUPS 1.2.0, so as long as you have  
support in your desktop of choice you should be OK.  Just remember  
that some applications (OpenOffice and any Adobe product, for example)  
don't use the system-supplied print UI and don't support custom  
options, so make sure you provide the common choices in your list of  
"canned" values.

thanks for the information!

what must be done, to get it into the CUPS Windows driver?
Does it make sence to work on the windows driver kit, because the Driver DDK from Microsoft is out of date.

Hi everybody,

in 'printers.c' the 'cupsdCreateCommonData()'-function autodectets the
availabale notifiers, is that right?
But where (source file) executes cups the notifiers or even when, have I configure it first by myself?

Thanks in advance,

I think the only way to do it would be to replace the Windows
PostScript driver entirely.

That is the only way to develop a Windows printer driver, so yes we
have to continue working with the Windows DDK.

scheduler/subscriptions.c handles running the notifier when there are
events to be sent.

who can do something like this?
If we exchange the well known, well tested and robust MS Postscript driver, we could run into new problems.

In my opinion only a companie like apple could do something like this!

To make these custom options work where would I use ppdFindCustomOption if at all? I have tried copying your example into my ppd file and nothing appeared so I assume I need to change more than just the ppd file to allow custom options.

Where are you trying to use them?

What version of CUPS do you have?

What operating system/Linux distribution are you using?

If Linux, what desktop and version?

I am using cups version 1.3.10 and Fedora 10. I tried modifying the "zebra.ppd" file. I was able to add normal options and groups, but not custom options.

I'm not sure that any of the GUIs in Fedora 10 support custom options,  
nor will the CUPS web interface.

 From the command-line you should be able to do:

     lp -d printer -o Option=Custom.1234 filename

to print using a custom value.

To be on the safe side for Linux install to
   $(cups-config --serverbin)/backend
which evaluates depending on the architecture
and on the particular Linux distribution to
   /usr/lib/cups/backend
   /usr/lib64/cups/backend
   /usr/lib32/cups/backend

printer is an HP LaserJet 2420dn
OS Redhat 5.3

Why does landscape mode work via CUPS queues with "browsing off", but not
with "browsing on"? Is this just coincidence, that it works this way at
all?

configuration as described here: 
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Print_Settings_with_CUPS

 So, at least with "Browsing off", he can preset paper orientation via
CUPS queues. Any idea, why it does not work with "Brwosing on"?

Message-ID: <4671-cups.development@news.easysw.com>

Hi Experts,
We plan to develop a Mac application to do something that requires communicating with printer via printer bulk. I think it is necessary to do some protection to prevent the application from accessing the printer while there are print jobs.

Are there any methods I can do for this purpose?

Thanks~

The proper way to do this is to write a CUPS filter that communicates  
with the printer (via the backend) and then your app can just sent  
control commands as print jobs that are interpreted by your filter.   
This method also has the advantage of allowing your normal print  
filters to provide status back to your user app.

If you *must* communicate directly, IOKit will only allow 1 program to  
claim an interface at any given time, so you don't need to add any  
additional protections.

Subject: [cups.development] Troubles with CUPS > 1.3.9 and Qt 4.x
	applications
Message-ID: <4673-cups.development@news.easysw.com>

Hi,

We're having some troubles with CUPS > 1.3.9 and Qt 4.x applications in Pardus Linux[0]. Printing from Gnome applications, lpr, pycups, cups web interface are all working well except from Qt4 applications.

I tried with:

- A patched CUPS 1.3.10 which contains fixes for:
  STR 3167:
    * http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/F-10/cups/cups-str3167.patch?view=co
  Accept "Host: ::1":
    * http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/F-10/cups/cups-localhost-ipv6.patch?view=co

- A vanilla 1.3.10,
- A vanilla branch-1.3.x,
- A vanilla 1.4rc1

with:

- completely removing the ServerName localhost line from /etc/cups/client.conf,
- leaving it, 
- replacing it with ServerName /var/run/cups/cups.sock

None of them works. I'll try to describe the problem:

I open kwrite or okular or konqueror, or a very simple 5-line Qt4 application which prints "Hello world!". Here's the cups error_log:

Whether you try to print a plain/text, or a pdf or an image/png, it doesn't matter, it borks about application/pdf. Detach the printer, and it says the same things. So what's the difference between other apps?

When other apps send a job to the queue, nearly same lines are printed *but* with a difference:

D [25/Jun/2009:20:09:45 -0400] cupsdAcceptClient: 9 from localhost (Domain) (From KDE/Qt 4.x applications)

becomes

D [25/Jun/2009:20:09:45 -0400] cupsdAcceptClient: 9 from localhost:631 (IPv6) (Rest of the world)

and then no unsupported format/client-error-document-format-not-supported error, everything prints well.

-----------------

Should I blame Qt applications, CUPS or my setup? How can I further debug the issue? Is there anyone who can reproduce the issue?

I wrote a very simple Qt4 application which triggers the problem:

Off the top of my head, have you verified that the other applications  
are also sending application/pdf?

A missing (pdftops) filter could very well cause this problem.

[STR New]

For the primary bug report see
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=516511

I run CUPS 1.3.10 on an openSUSE 11.1 i586 system.

In CUPS 1.3.9 the command
  lpoptions -h localhost -p <queue_name> -l
works on my openSUSE 11.1 workstation.

But in CUPS 1.3.10 the command results a
"lpoptions: Unable to get PPD file for lj1220: Bad Request"
error message but the command
  lpoptions -p <queue_name> -l
still works.

Setting "ServerAlias *" in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf does not help.

The command
  lpoptions -h localhost -p <queue_name> -l
results in /var/log/cups/error_log there is the warning
  W ... Request from "localhost" using invalid Host: field "::1"
but "::1" is the IPv6 loopback IP address for "localhost".

The attached cups-1.3.10-fix-DNS-rebinding-protection.patch
fixes the issue by adding "::1" in scheduler/client.c
to the whitelist of IP addresses for "localhost"
which are allowed in any case for connections
via the loopback interface.

This solves the issue at least for me but I do not have
the full understanding if it is really a correct solution
in particular because other commands like
  lpadmin -h localhost ...
work well with CUPS 1.3.10 on my openSUSE 11.1 workstation
even without the patch.

Subject: Filter PCL jobs
Message-ID: <4675-cups.development@news.easysw.com>

Hi,

My scenario is the described below:

I've configured a printer in my CUPS Server.
Then I print from a Windows machine through an LPR connection pointing to the CUPS queue (this windows configuration uses a PCL driver).

Windows ----> CUPS Server ----> Printer
(LPR)    PCL

I want to modify the job in the CUPS Server before it's sent to the printer. Using a PS driver instead of PCL I can do it using CUPS Filters but with PCL the CUPS is receiving the job and it's going directly to the backend without using any filter.

Any idea??

Thanks in advance!

Martin.

Dupe of STR #3164.

In short, we weren't bracketing numeric IPv6 addresses like we are
supposed to (otherwise you can't specify a port number and be unambiguous
since the separator for both IPv6 and port numbers is the colon...)

You need to add your own PCL filter and add a MIME type and filter  
definition (.convs) file for it.

Michael,

I've been trying to fine-tune cups to make JobRetryInterval more
precise. It seems the current scheduler is waiting for 10 seconds
instead of taking the value of JobRetryInterval as defined in
cupsd.conf

Attached a patch that works with cups-1.4rc1. It included debugs [JJ]
so that you can use "tail -f error_log" to look at the exact delays
between job.

Also, I've subtracted 1 second from set_hold_until() so that the job
will be printed on the "next timeout" since timeout always add 1
second at the end for cases where the scheduler wakes up same time as
the job-held that happened to be ready to be printed.

Without the patch, there's always 2 seconds extra delay between
retries for JobRetryInterval = 8.

Thanks,
Jeff.

Um, where are you seeing this error?  The CUPS lpr command will never  
try to reserve a port, and with 1 printer you should never see the  
CUPS lpd backend produce it, either.

FWIW, port reservation tries to use a privileged port (< 1024),  
however NFS and other system services will use up many of them.  LPD  
normally uses ports 721 through 731 as "source" ports (515 is the  
destination), so if none of those ports are available (because other  
processes are bound to them - "netstat -an" will show them) you won't  
be able to print via LPD with the default settings...

At this point the only ideas I have are that a) it will require a  
completely new driver and b) I don't want to be the one to write it :)

Hi Michael,

With the CUPS driver we developered, most of the Mac App works great for duplex.

The Two-Sided checkbox is generated by system default PDEs.

But on Office 2008, there is no such a checkbox, how can user print duplex?

Is this a Office 2008 issue or Mac OSX?

Thanks

Thanks for your help Michael!

I found the mime type application/vnd.cups-raw that has the rule: contains(0,4096,"LANGUAGE=PCL")

Looking the job trace from wireshark I review that the PJL job header already contains this string, then it should apply to the PCL jobs.

Then, I added in the mime.convs the next line:

application/vnd.cups-raw application/vnd.cups-postscript 66 myFilter.sh

Then I restarted the CUPS Server.
But the filter is not being called. I have no idea about how to check the mime type. The CUPS log is not telling it to me, jsut saying that the job is going to the backend correctly without pass through any filter.
Do you know how can I check it?

Thanks in advance,

Martin.

By design "application/vnd.cups-raw" jobs are forwyrded directly to the 
respective backend.
Define e.g.a mime type
application/pcl   prn contains(0,4096,"LANGUAGE=PCL")
and a conversion rule
application/pcl application/[vnd.cups-]postscript 66 myFilter.sh
in the respecive files (better, in your one my.types and my.convs).
As "pcl" sorts lesically before "vnd", this will work without modifying
the rest.
In the conversion rule, obmit the part I set in brackets, if you need
to fed your filter's output into the pstops filter as well.

When the snmp backend is given a device URI by a printer it may not have
the correct hostname in.  Example:
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=506803

Could the snmp backend verify that the hostname can be resolved, and if
not replace it with the IP address it used for the SNMP query?

Subject: blank page on some print jobs
Message-ID: <7869-cups.bugs@news.easysw.com>

Hello
  Since upgrading the a cups print server from RHEL 3 to RHEL 4, we have some printers that keep printing out a blank page along with the print job. Most of
the failures were due to a PPD or PC print driver that no longer matched the printer after some were moved or replaced. RHEL 3 was more forgiving than RHEL 4.

I seem to have one printer, a HP 5SI mx, that is still constantly having this problem. I have tried disabling ps_accounting in /etc/foomatic/filter.conf and still get the behavior, though I also still also get page_log entries for it.

Would turning off ps_accounting option disable page_log entries? (Indicating that my change was to something not in use by this printer)

When searching for info, I noticed mention of some *cups variables in the PPD files that affect behavior. We have not set any of these intentionally in our PPD files, and the only one defined in this particular PPD is...

  # grep -i cups  ps1151.ppd
  *cupsICCProfile RGB../sRGB Matching Profile: "/Library/Printers/hp/Profiles/sRGB_A.icc"

Are there other known causes of this that I could check out?

Thanks.

Changes in /etc/foomatic/... have only any effect if the print queue 
actually uses Foomatic (with a "*cupsFilter:" setting foomatic-rip as 
the filter. Your PPD does not have such a line (PostScript printer). So 
Foomatic changes are not relevant for your print queue.

Subject: [cups.development] found a resource leak in file socket.c
Message-ID: <4685-cups.development@news.easysw.com>

Hi all,

i have checked the sources of cups with the static code analysis tool cppcheck. It found a resource leak in file socket.c at line 259. The tool prints the following output:

 [cups-1.3.10/backend/socket.c:259]: (error) Resource leak: print_fd

Take a look at the sourcecode to line 259:

.....
 if ((addrlist = httpAddrGetList(hostname, AF_UNSPEC, portname)) == NULL)
  {
    _cupsLangPrintf(stderr, _("ERROR: Unable to locate printer \'%s\'!\n"),
                    hostname);
259    return (CUPS_BACKEND_STOP);
  }
.....

Indeed, the file is never closed. A possible fix could be:

.....
 if ((addrlist = httpAddrGetList(hostname, AF_UNSPEC, portname)) ==NULL)
  {
    _cupsLangPrintf(stderr, _("ERROR: Unable to locate printer\'%s '!\n"),
                    hostname);
    close(print_fd);  
    return (CUPS_BACKEND_STOP);
  }
......


Best regards

I think that isn't really a resource leak, as any open file descriptors are 
cclosed on exit by default.

I agree with you that they are closed when the programm terminates. But (no offense) it is a bad programming style, but this is only my opinion.

Indeed, the backend does not close a file before it exits...  However,
since the OS is good about closing file descriptors on exit (and
freeing all memory that was used, etc.), this is not a bug.

(I'd file a bug against cppcheck - return from main is equivalent to
exit, so resource leaks like this should never be reported...)

<sarcasm>
Right, because if it is in Wikipedia it *must* be true!
</sarcasm>

This will not be "fixed", since it is not a bug.  You can argue about
coding style, but the fact is that the OS can reclaim files, memory,
and other resources a LOT faster on exit than a program can, with no
side-effects.

Subject: Dangerous usage of strncat, possible buffer overrun in file usb-darwin.c
Message-ID: <4692-cups.development@news.easysw.com>

Hello all,

i have checked the sources of cups with the static code analysis tool cppcheck. It found an issue in file usb-darwin.c and printed the following output:


[cups-1.3.10/backend/usb-darwin.c:1039]: (all) Dangerous usage of strncat, possible buffer overrun

Take a look at the code:

static Boolean list_device_cb(void *refcon,
			      io_service_t obj)
{
.....
    if (deviceIDString != NULL)
    {
      CFStringRef make = NULL,  model = NULL, serial = NULL;
      char uristr[1024], makestr[1024], modelstr[1024], serialstr[1024];
      char optionsstr[1024], idstr[1024], make_modelstr[1024];

 .....
1039  strncat(uristr, optionsstr, sizeof(uristr));

 .....
    }
  }
}

strncat is wrong used here.strncat appends the sizeof(uristr) (here 1024) characters of optionsstr to uristr, plus a terminating null-character. If the length of the C string in source is less than num, only the content up to the terminating null-character is copied. So, this is a possible situation where a buffer overrun can happen.

Hi all,

Take a look at file http.c at line 2769:

Indeed, the pointer memory, where conn points to, is not freed at line 2769.

Please file bugs here:

     http://www.cups.org/str.php

In this case, it is extremely unlikely that we'd come close to using
the all of the space in uristr anyways - make, model, and serial come
from the device ID, which is the same size...

The code should be using strlcat, obviously.
