Hello everyone,
I have set up a printer to print from windows with the cups postscript
driver and use it from linux and OS X via IPP as remote printer. As far I
is can see in the log the pstops filter is used:

I [10/Jan/2007:19:28:42 +0100] Started filter /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstops
(PID 5804) for job 71.
I [10/Jan/2007:19:28:42 +0100] Started filter
/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip (PID 5805) for job 71.
I [10/Jan/2007:19:28:42 +0100] Started backend
/usr/lib/cups/backend/socket (PID 5806) for job 71.

But this job doesn't appear in /var/log/cups/page_log. The cupsd.conf is:

DefaultCharset notused
LogLevel debug
PageLog /var/log/cups/page_log
Printcap /var/run/cups/printcap

The printers.conf:

Should a job filtered by pstops not be logged to /var/log/cups/page_log?
Can anyone shed light on this? Thank you in advance.

Kay
