[cups.general] Can't print

[Bill]

Uh... what should I be looking for?

I diffed mime.types and mime.conv with another system that works and I
see no difference.

When you say "check your files", what files should I be checking?

I've noticed that when I try to print on the broken system I see in
/var/spool/cups files of the name:

cXXXX1
cXXXX2

but no files of the name:
dXXXX1-001
dXXXX2-001

are created.
What might cause that?


 That means CUPS could not determine the data format of the original
