Looks like there is a general problem with mime-typing files based
on the simple filename extension rule alone.

F.e., if I use (in /etc/cups/mime.types) a rule of

   text/plain    txt

instead of

   text/plain    txt printable(0,1024)

and restart cupsd, I get "client-error-document-format-not-supported".
A rule not using the *.txt extension at all, just being

   text/plain    printable(0,1024)

does work just fine. This bug I could also reproduce with CUPS 1.1.23
(SUSE 10.0 packages) and self-compiled from Subversion r5704. -- See 
also http://www.cups.org/str.php?L1825 (where I've modified your own 
bug report accordingly, including a change of its headline).

Cheers,
Kurt
