 Posted: Thu Oct 05, 2006 6:17 pm Post subject: cupsd not able to execute installed filters |
 |
|
I've just tried to do printing with gentoo, and am a little baffled by what I see.
- I have an old hp deskjet 842C.
- As of right now, everything is install as recommended at gentoo usb printing
- I can print the test page from the web interface, but not the same page from the command line.
- I can also print files generated by Gimp, when using their DeskJet 842c printer setting.
- Looking at the error log, I find that some of the filters are puking, saying that they can't be executed, but permissions are fine on the filters.
- This happens with different drivers, only the puking filter changes.
- I'm thinking that as a result, it tries to print an empty document.
- I also get an odd error afterward about not finding the installed ppd files.
I can't seem to find anything in documentation or by googling (perhaps I can't conjure the right magic keywords...), except a few people having possibly related
problems in gentoo. I'm not sure if this is a gentoo problem, but I'll start here anyway!
Any help would be appreciated.
Here's what I have:

looks as if ghostscript (which is called by pstoraster) is failing. Have you got ghostscript-esp installed? This is the one it wants.

is probably the next level up trying to make sense of the status code.

Unfortunately, it is installed, otherwise this would be easier.

I'm thinking the same thing, so I'm not too worried about it at this point.
What gets me is that I can print the /usr/share/cups/data/testprint.ps from the web page, but not the command line. Does the web page call something that isn't called automatically from the command line? If it could always print this postscript file, but not stuff generated from OpenOffice, I would think it had something to do with the files themselves, but this can't be the case.
Just in case that scroll bar is rusty, and for the sake of completeness, here is that testprint going through with no problems.

It goes on processing for quite a few pages. I must be blind, because I have to be missing something really obvious. |

Yes, indeed! but the "quick fix" is worth a try nevertheless 
Ok, let's look at | Code: | | /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstoraster |
If it works from the CUPS web page but not the command line have you got privileges on the web page you don't have on the command line? For instance, being logged in as administrator on the web page but being an ordinary user on the command line?
You appear to be running cups-1.1.23-rX and (borrowing from Ubuntu 6.06) pstoraster contains | Code: | echo INFO: Starting ESP Ghostscript 8.15.... 1>&2
echo DEBUG: Running $bindir/gs-esp $gsopts -sOUTPUTFILE="%stdout" -c"$profile" "$ifile" 1>&2
# Now run Ghostscript...
exec $bindir/gs-esp $gsopts -sOUTPUTFILE="%stdout" -c"$profile" "$ifile" |
The binary file it can't run must therefore be gs â I don't know why the INFO and the DEBUG messages haven't appeared in error_log.
The permissions on /usr/bin/gs (a merry dance on Ubuntu: /usr/bin/gs -> /etc/alternatives/gs -> /usr/bin/gs-esp) are "-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root", perhaps you can check /usr/bin/gs? Though I can't think that they could be anything else. You haven't got anything like selinux running or ext2 attributes which might have an effect?

I noticed that I posted a log with two different users now, but it doesn't matter. The user is, in fact, root from the web interface, but I have also run it as root from the command line, so it isn't as if I am fighting permissions.

No, there isn't anything funky set up. I haven't had much time to look at it today, but I need to try to do what cups is doing by hand, if I can. I tried an off the hip shot at calling gs with the same parameters as cups does, and it dies. I doubt that I am feeding it what it wants though. I'll have to take a better look at it this weekend.
I appreciate the ideas!
I think this is what they call a learning cups experience |

That's an excellent idea. You might start by commenting out the "exec $bindir/gs-esp $gsopts..." (the Gentoo version may not be identical, especially gs-esp) and then the | Code: | | echo DEBUG: Running $bindir/gs-esp $gsopts -sOUTPUTFILE="%stdout" -c"$profile" "$ifile" 1>&2 |
in /var/log/cups/error_log will give you all you need to run it separately.
Just to check, you could also add | Code: | | echo INFO: $(id) 1>&2 |
after the first "echo INFO" which will give you the user running this script as well.

It seems to be running as 'lp' when it works. | Code: | | [Job 80] Running as uid=4(lp) gid=7(lp) groups=7(lp) |
I have run everything by hand as a regular user, and it works?!! 
| Code: | chris@localhost ~/temp $ PPD=/etc/cups/ppd/printer.ppd /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstops 1 2 3 1 1 ../printfile.ps >test-step1.ps
chris@localhost ~/temp $ PPD=/etc/cups/ppd/printer.ppd cat test-step1.ps|/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstoraster >test-step2.raster
chris@localhost ~/temp $ PPD=/etc/cups/ppd/printer.ppd /usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertoprinter 1 2 3 1 1 test-step3.raster >test-step3.printer
chris@localhost ~/temp $ lp test-step4.printer
request id is printer-72 (1 file(s)) |
When cups runs as me, I still get the odd: /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstoraster: cannot execute binary file
What the heck! I have to take a look again at cups' configuration tommorow. I must have missed something huge. There isn't any way that it is running into file system permission trouble. I just ran it as myself. |

|
|
After taking a break and some further poking, I noticed errno 29. That meant (as far as I know) something was trying to do a seek on the pipe between filters. I had some free time this weekend, so I was about to sit down to take a look at it. For kicks I got the ~x86 version of cups (1.2.5), and surprise, it worked!
That saved me some time. Cool.
Don't know what was changed to fix it, and don't really care! I am happy that I can print again. |
