Bug Description

Submitting PDF jobs from an OSX 10.7.4 laptop to a Linux desktop running 12.04 amd64 over CUPS/IPP, with USB-attached HP Laserjet 1020.

Job goes into "stopped" state. /var/log/cups/error.log shows:

I refer especially to the log line "/bin/bash: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''

[Impact] Printing from Mac OS X clients to all printers with foo2zjs drivers ("Foomatic/foo2...") and with Foomatic-based PostScript drivers ("Foomatic/Postscript") does not work. Also local printing to printers with these drivers will not work in some cases.

[Test Case] To reproduce without having the appropriate printer (foo2zjs must be installed):

cupsctl FileDevice=yes
cupsctl LogLevel=debug
lpadmin -p test -E -v file:/tmp/printout -m foo2zjs:0/ppd/foo2zjs/Samsung-CLP-610.ppd
lp -d test -o testoption=`perl -e 'for($i = 0; $i < 200; $i ++) { $a .= sprintf ("%10d", $i) }; $a =~ s/ /-/g; print "$a\n"; '` ~/.bashrc
lpstat -o

Note that the Perl magic generates a string which is 2000 characters long. This will be inserted as value for the option "testoption". foomatic-rip of Precise will error out as shown above. The job will hang in the queue.

After installing the proposed package and reprinting the job (via the job viewer) or sending the job again one will see that these jobs get printed (job gets removed from the queue, /tmp/printout will contain the print data).

[Regression Potential] The two fix in the C code is trivial, only the maximum length for a string will be raised, so regressions cannot be caused.

The length of the string "pdftops '78' ...... com.apple.print.PrintSett" is exactly 1024 bytes, not including the outside double-quotes, so it looks like some fixed-sized internal buffer has been hit on the job properties.

(Aside: quite why a shell is being used here, rather than execve of pdftops directly, is unclear to me)

Additional info: OSX client shows "/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip failed" and "Error: job stopped on server"

High=>'Has a severe impact on a small portion of Ubuntu users' (not being able to print some random proportion of their docs for no obvious reason; although I could believe it could be a medium, but there again I assume cups is core). I also worry about whether there is any way from this to be able to get something else into the bash line, but I can't immediately see it.

I have the exact same problem, but with a different scenario ;
I just connected a new printer on my system ; (canon C5030i). All is working well
except when I print PDF files from evince, where it fails with the exact same messages previously reported.

(that is, bash problem & /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip failed)

The funny part is that printint PDF is OK with adobe reader OR okular.

So the PDF handling is probably different between evince and the rest. Don't know how this lead to the very same bug of printing PDF from a remote apple computer ?

Ho, and I can't say if the bug is new or not, I just connected the printer this morning.

Hello Brian, or anyone else affected,

Accepted foomatic-filters into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/foomatic-filters/4.0.16-0ubuntu0.2 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please change the bug tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not, change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!
