Nothing has changed upto now. Actual kernel
is 2.6.15-27-386 or -686.
Installed printers: 1. HP Deskjet 690C (local),
2. HP Laserjet 1100 (remote).
Both are working well.
Typing xfprint4 filename I receive the
warning "failed request with status 1030"
continuing until "Segmentation fault"
is reported.
J.-F. Wauthy (<email address hidden>) told me
on 2006-08-05 that all this is due to a bug
in cups, and it should b fixed by filling in the
ServerName directive in the client.conf file
in /etc/cups.
I am on dapper with xfce 4.3.90.2 Beta 1.
A client.conf file cannot be found anywhere.
In cups.d/ports.conf I read
 Listen localhost:631
 Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock
and in browse.conf:
 Browsing on.

 Hope that helps.

Regards,

Rainer

could you try setting ServerName in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf then and see if it solved your problem? (man cupsd.conf)

I tried (see below), but nothing changed.
Enclosed you find my actual /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
(the last lines added by me upon your request):

does this happen in edgy?

Confirming this, I see many similar reports in other sites and at least one bug related to this (bug 41271).

Can you try to install the a2ps package and retrying ?

Hi,

Any news on this?
Thanks.

No, all seems to work fine:
  SYSTEM --> PRINT JOBS
                   --> DIENSTE
                             PRINTER SERVICE (hplip)
