I started noticing this today too. My Macs aren't able to successfully |
35 |
print, I just get an error in the error log about application/pdf being |
36 |
an unsupported format. |
37 |
|
38 |
If I take a PDF generated on the Mac and move it to my Linux system and |
39 |
run "lpr <filename>.pdf" I get: |
40 |
lpr: Unsupported format 'application/pdf'! |
41 |
|
42 |
If I use "pdftops" to generate a PS file, "lpr <filename>.ps" works |
43 |
fine. If I open the PDF in xpdf and print, telling it to use the |
44 |
command "lpr," that also works fine. |

I upgraded from cups 1.3.10 to 1.3.11 today (cannot go back). I've |
47 |
rebuilt all the foomatic packages I had installed, gutenprint, cups-pdf, |
48 |
ghostscript-gpl, but still it doesn't work... |
