[cups.general] Can't print

[Helge Blischke]

The cxxxxx files contain the job attributes (think of it as an IPP
structure dump),
the dxxxxx files are the job files to be printed. As your system cannot
idenify the
data format of your files to be printed, there is no spool file created.

Post an URL to a sample file, please.
