Cups upgrade from RHEL4 (cups-1.1.22) to RHEL6 x64 (cups-1.4.2)

[Greg Jones]

Hi,

First some info...

On old server running RHEL4 x32 with v1.1 of cups queues were created as follows:
lpadmin -p lp4 -E  -i /usr/lib/cups/filter/EpsonToPS -v beh:/1/0/1/socket://lp4:9100

And also enabled raw printing from remote with the following:
mime.convs:application/octet-stream     application/vnd.cups-raw        0       -
mime.types:application/octet-stream

On new server running RHEL6 x64 with v1.4 of cups queues created as follows:
lpadmin -p lp4 -E  -i /usr/lib/cups/filter/EpsonToPS -v beh:/1/0/1/socket://lp4:9100

And copied the mime.convs and mime.types from our old server.


The problem is that any raw print jobs from RHEL4 v32 clients to the new x64 server do not work. I get the raw postscript text processed by the filter! Raw jobs to the old x32 server are ok.

The command on the client RHEL4 x32 is
lp -d lp4 -o raw /usr/share/apps/kdeprint/testprint.ps

What has changed?

Thanks

G.
