[cups.general] client-error-document-format-not-supported

[Chris Bamford]

Hi

This printer has worked with CUPS perfectly in the past.  Due to a HDD 
failure I am having to reinstall - now it won't print!
In utter frustration I have uninstalled / reinstalled cups  and foomatic 
several times...
Now when I try to add my printer (Lexmark z600) and print a test page I get:

cupsdoprint -P 'tmpprinter_OYfyPOZW' -J 'KDE Print Test' -H 
'/var/run/cups/cups.sock:631' -U 'root' -o ' 
multiple-document-handling=separate-documents-uncollated-copies 
orientation-requested=3' '/usr/share/apps/kdeprint/testprint.ps' : 
execution failed with message:
client-error-document-format-not-supported

I have googled for answers but found nothing that works :-(
I have tried running 'dpkg-reconfigure cupsys' but that doesn't help. 
As you can see I have the default mime.* and raw.* files - but I have no 
idea if their contents are good. 

root at simba:/etc/cups# ls -la

drwx------   2 root lp   4096 2007-02-02 13:20 ssl

I also note that the ppd/ and ssl/ subdirectories are empty...  (don't 
know if this is significant either).

Can anyone help?  I'll be happy to paste config file contents into an 
email  - just tell me which ones!

Thanks,
