This is the error who many people have, but no one figured out how to fix it. Here is the solution.

Open

/etc/cups/mime.convs

and enable

Code: Select all

########################################################################
#
# Raw filter...
#
# Uncomment the following filter and the application/octet-stream type
# in mime.types to allow printing of arbitrary files without the -oraw
# option.
#

application/octet-stream        application/vnd.cups-raw        0       -

nor me...I already have that uncommented.

EDIT: but here's what did work...I emerged the following foomatic packages making sure I had cups and ppds in use flags:
foomatic-db-engine-3.0.2
foomatic-db-20050606
foomatic-3.0.2
foomatic-filters-3.0.2

restarted cupsd

and then went back to http://localhost:631and did "Modify printer" to select the new driver for my printer...the configure option has a ton more options that are more specific to my printer than the generic HP Laserjet that was there before.

I have the same problem, but my printer is an Epson Stylus CX6600 and foomatic doesn't have a suitable driver for it (only gimp-print does).

What can I do to fix the problem?

Thanx :)

FIXED: ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64" emerge ghostscript-esp
