Unsupported format '<insert any format here>'

Well I've taken the plunge and updated from CUPS 1.1.23 to current 1.2.3 and as expected it didn't go smoothly.... I'm running the precompiled packages from blaswave on Solaris 9 Sparc.

I've pretty much disabled all access restrictions just to get going so I can tighten it up later however when I "Print Test Page" on a printer configured similarly to previous version I get Error: Unsupported format 'application/postscript'!

even lp barfs:
# lp /etc/hosts
lp: Unsupported format 'text/plain'!
#

Log file for above with loglevel set to debug shows

Also, going to the printer's "Set Printer Options" I get Error: successful-ok. Nothing else.


I'm using the stock standard mime.convs mime.types files except the've been edited to allow octect streams so I can print from windows via samba and this DOES work.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers
