I had previously posted on this blog about this Xerox printer, a Phaser 4500 DT (by using the drivers found on their website). I had solved a problem under Gentoo, but now I've experienced other problems under Debian, after I upgraded these drivers downloaded from Xerox website.By taking a look at the log /var/log/cups/error_log, I found this line again:
PID xxxx stopped with status 22This time the problem was with the wrong filter used in the ppd of the printer, in particular this line of XRX_Phaser_4500dx.ppd:
*cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-postscript 0 pstoxeroxps"which needs to be changed into
*cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-postscript 0 foomatic-rip"Now everything seems to work :-)
Many thanks for this, I'd been battling with this issue for most of the day (RHEL4.4 and CUPS). But up came your page after a Google search and I can now go home and chill :) Cheers - Mark from the UK.
