Hello,

I was wondering if anyone had some suggestions on to what I could try to
troubleshoot a problem with the pdftops filter.

Current Env:
Server: Solaris 9, running cups 1.1.23
Client: Fedora Core 4, current distro cups.
Client: MacOS X 10.4

Whenever I attempt to print from either of these machines I get the
following error ( the printer starts the "job processing" then quits):

cs_113-1541   	vldbj02.pdf   	remroot   	971k   	 aborted

I [11/Nov/2005:17:00:36 +0500] Job 1544 queued on 'cs_113' by 'remroot'.

I [11/Nov/2005:17:00:48 +0500] Started
"/usr/local/cups/lib/cups/cgi-bin/printers.cgi" (pid=1011)

The PPD I'm using is from extracted from hpijs:
*ModelName: "HP LaserJet 2430"
*ShortNickName: "HP LaserJet 2430"
*NickName: "HP LaserJet 2430 Postscript (recommended)"
*Product: "(hp LaserJet 2430)"
*Manufacturer: "HP"
*PSVersion: "(3010.107) 0"

Any suggestions or is there any additional info that would help?

Thank you,
Mark
