https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=463171 Summary: IPP print server fails. Client reports Unsupported Format 'application/octet-stream' Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Printing AssignedTo: jsmeix@novell.com ReportedBy: swerdna@opensuse-forums.org QAContact: jsmeix@novell.com Found By: Community User Cups is configured to allow printing of raw file data by virtue of having the "application/octet-stream" parameter active (uncommented) in the file /etc/cups/mime-types with entry as follows: # Raw print file support... # Comment the following type to prevent raw file printing. application/octet-stream This should allow IPP network printing between Suse clients and an an openSUSE 11.1 IPP printer server. However printing is blocked. If I check in the client for problems by printing a test page to the server, using the cups interface on http://localhost:631 I see the following error message returned for the failed test print: Print file was not accepted (Unsupported format 'application/octet-stream'). The workaround is to edit the file /etc/cups/mime.convs. The following lines are responsible for the error/blocking of the print: # Raw filter... # Uncomment the following filter to allow printing of arbitrary files # without the -oraw option. # application/octet-stream application/vnd.cups-raw 0 The fix is to uncomment the line containing "application/octet-stream" The bug seems to me to be the inconsistency where mime type application/octe stream is allowed by one of the two mimetype config files (mime-types) but blocked by the other (mime.convs). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
