Hi Folks

I managed to put cups on an embedded device and am now about to test the functionality

I added a HP 5 Si with a Jetdirect card to CUPS and try now to print the test page, but I am presented with

Unsupported format 'application/postscript'!

This are excerpts of the mype.types file

application/postscript          ai eps ps string(0,%!) string(0,<04>%!) \
                                contains(0,128,<1B>%-12345X) + \
                                (contains(0,4096,"LANGUAGE=POSTSCRIPT") \
                                 contains(0,4096,"LANGUAGE = Postscript") \
                                 contains(0,4096,"LANGUAGE = PostScript") \
                                 contains(0,4096,"LANGUAGE = POSTSCRIPT") \
                                 (contains(0,4096,<0a>%!) + \
                                  !contains(0,4096,"ENTER LANGUAGE")))

I compiled CUPS with the following

        ./configure \
                --enable-shared \
                --disable-cdsassl\
                --disable-gnutls\
                --disable-slp\
                --disable-gssapi\
                --disable-ldap\
                --disable-pam\
                --with-openssl-libs=$(BT_STAGING_DIR)/usr/lib \
                --with-openssl-includes=$(BT_STAGING_DIR)/usr/include \
                --without-php\


Thanks for pointers
