[arch-general] No longer able to print
Hello, Since about three weeks ago after an update, I have no longer been able to print using CUPS. When I send a job to the print queue, it generates this message: stopped *"The PPD version (5.2.9) is not compatible with Gutenprint 5.2.10."* I was unable to find anything helpful through the search engines. Was there a package split for older drivers, or perhaps something else I need to install to get this to work again? Running linux 3.14.6-1 and: $ pacman -Qs cups local/cups 1.7.3-3 local/cups-filters 1.0.54-1 local/libcups 1.7.3-3 $ pacman -Qs gutenprint local/gutenprint 5.2.10-1 $ pacman -Qs ppd local/foomatic-db 3:20140324-1 local/foomatic-db-engine 3:20140324-1 $ pacman -Qs hplip local/hplip 3.14.6-1 Thank you Squall -- Yesterday is history.

I had a different problem but it might help. After upgrading to the new CUPS I had to delete and re-add my printer before I was able to resume printing. On Tue, Jun 10, 2014 at 11:40 AM, Squall Lionheart < headmastersquall@gmail.com> wrote:

if you run pacman -S gutenprint you will see this in the output:
please run /usr/bin/cups-genppdupdate and restart cups deamon
Run the command as root. In Archlinux it pays off to update in a terminal and to read the spam, it's also in /var/log/pacman.log. -- Joakim

This fixed the problem, thank you for your quick reply. In Archlinux it pays off to update in a terminal and to read the spam,
it's also in /var/log/pacman.log.
I always use the terminal to update, sometimes the amount of spam is so high that things get missed. I'll remember next time to check the pacman.log for such messages. -- Yesterday is history.
