[cups.general] Cups doesn't print raw to file, only to printers

[Stefan-Michael. Guenther (in-put GbR)]

Hello,

I have setup the following HP Laserjet, which use the raw driver:

<DefaultPrinter HP1>
Info
Location Buero
DeviceURI socket://192.168.0.101:9100
State Idle
Accepting Yes
JobSheets none none
QuotaPeriod 0
PageLimit 0
KLimit 0
</Printer>

This printer works perfect.

After this I setup another raw printer which should use a file as output 
device:

<Printer tofile>
Info tofile
DeviceURI file:/tmp/fax2.ps
State Idle
Accepting Yes
JobSheets none none
QuotaPeriod 0
PageLimit 0
KLimit 0
</Printer>

And I also added "FileDevice yes" in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and restartet the 
daemon.

The command "lpr -P tofile /etc/motd" should then produce the file fax2.ps 
in /tmp, but it doesn't. Here is the output in /var/log/cups/error_log with 
LogLevel debug in /etc/cups/cupds.conf:

To me, this all looks quite ok, but I doesn't get the file.

I have also activated the two raw lines in /etc/cups/mime.types 
and /etc/cups/mime.convs, but it didn't change anything.

Does anyone of you have an idea, what going wrong?

System: 			SuSE 10.0, 
cups version:		cups-1.1.23-21.2

Thanks for your help,

Stefan
