[gutsy] network printing, cups ipp backend fails with status 1

New version of cupsys fixes the problem: 1.3.0-2ubuntu1

It seems as if the bug is back in gutsy release: 1.3.2-1ubuntu7

cups says auf dist-upgrade: /usr/lib/cups/backend/ipp failed
in access-log there is logged:

MrTux, probably your bug and awen's one are not the same. awen's is not a problem of the IPP backend. What crashed first was Ghostscript, this seems to have gotten solved with the time (I tried to execute the Ghostscript command line which failed according to the error_log on a released Gutsy, and it works for me). So MrTux, please post your error_log (with CUPS in debug mode, as awen did, so that we can see what went wrong for you.

MrTux seeing your error_log now also in your case a step before the IPP backend did not work out, letting the IPP backend fail due to lack of input data.The real problem is that CUPS was not able to recognize which format the input file is. Which file did you try to print? Can you print other files? Can you post the file(s) which did not print?

I tried to print the test-page from cups (via the cups-webinterface) and an openoffice-writer file, I also retriet with an fresh gutdy install (no upgrade) with the same problem.

Mr. Tux,

This look like the same problem as described in bug #154662?

no, the quickfix doesn't help. But I'm unsure why there is "/opt/share/ppd" reported when I add a new printer, all data should be under /usr/lib/ or /var...

The original bug reporter awen has indicated his problem has been solved in cupsys 1.3.0-2ubuntu1, therefore closing this bug.
Mr. Tux, it is better to open a new bug report and attach your cups error_log and the output of the printingbug info script as described here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems.
