[Bug 1070842] New: File "/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip-hplip" not available: No such file or directory
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1070842 Bug ID: 1070842 Summary: File "/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip-hplip" not available: No such file or directory Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 42.2 Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Printing Assignee: jsmeix@suse.com Reporter: carlos.e.r@opensuse.org QA Contact: jsmeix@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- I get that error when trying to print with my "HP Color LaserJet cp1515n hpijs pcl3, 3.9.8.36" printer, which I use when the postscript driver fails with a big photo, perhaps out of memory on the printer. The file is listed in the ARCHIVES.gz file of the oss repo: ./suse/x86_64/hplip-hpijs-3.13.10-1.1.x86_64.rpm: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Oct 25 11:10 /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip-hplip -> ../../../bin/foomatic-rip But reinstalling that package does not create the missing link; I had to create it by hand, restart cups, and printing worked again. I had this problem since I upgraded to Leap, but did not look into it till tonight. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Reason: See https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/Printing/hplip/hplip.changes?ex... that reads (excerpts): ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Oct 7 15:59:10 CEST 2015 - jsmeix@suse.de - Dropped support for the outdated foomatic-rip-hplip via a symbolic link from /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip-hplip to /usr/bin/foomatic-rip for foomatic-filters or to /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip for cups-filters-foomatic-rip so that "BuildRequires cups-filters-foomatic-rip" can be dropped (cf. the entry dated "Thu Sep 18 10:31:14 CEST 2014" below) which makes it "just build" again if suse_version > 1310 without the need for more and more oversophisticated hacks. ... Thu Sep 18 10:31:14 CEST 2014 - jsmeix@suse.de - From openSUSE 13.2 on explicitly "BuildRequires cups-filters-foomatic-rip" to avoid that foomatic-filters is used for build in the "Printing" development project (where foomatic-filters intentionally exists also for openSUSE_13.2 and openSUSE_Factory) which would not match what is used for build in openSUSE:13.2 or openSUSE:Factory (where foomatic-filters is intentionally dropped and replaced by cups-filters-foomatic-rip). Using the matching package for build results that the backward compatibility link /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip-hplip points to a foomatic-rip executable that is used by default on the runtime system. ... Wed Apr 23 10:26:50 CEST 2014 - jsmeix@suse.de - Fix how the link /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip-hplip that points to foomatic-rip is installed depending on which package provides foomatic-rip. In foomatic-filters foomatic-rip is installed as /usr/bin/foomatic-rip but in cups-filters-foomatic-rip it is installed as /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip. ... Fri Aug 12 10:36:13 CEST 2011 - jsmeix@suse.de ... - Because foomatic-rip-hplip has CVE-2011-2697 (bnc#698451) plus a leftover in CVE-2004-0801 (bnc#59233) foomatic-rip-hplip is no longer installed and foomatic-rip from the foomatic-filters RPM is used instead and the "cupsFilter" entries in the PPDs are changed accordingly. To be backward compatible with PPDs in /etc/cups/ppd/ for existing print queues a compatibility link /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip-hplip which points to foomatic-rip is installed. ... Wed Jul 1 10:28:04 CEST 2009 - jsmeix@suse.de ... - Updated to version 3.9.6b: The new native CUPS driver (HPCUPS) is now the default printer driver. HPCUPS provides new paper sizes for borderless and duplex so that there are now HPCUPS PPDs with exact printable regions for normal, borderless and duplex paper sizes which should fix https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/173857 For now HPIJS (and its matching foomatic-rip-hplip PPDs) are still included (HPIJS can co-exist with HPCUPS). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Since Aug 12 2011 I have that compatibility link (but no longer PPDs in the hplip RPMs that use it) and I kept it up to Oct 7 2015 but because it caused more and more oversophisticated hacks I finally dropped it. Simply put: It is no longer possible for me with reasonable effort to keep that compatibility link for old PPDs from before Aug 2011. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I applied your edit, removed the link, restarted cups, and tested print: worked fine. Still, it is curious that the ARCHIVE.gz file of the leap 42.2 DVD and oss repo lists that link. Maybe it was removed as an update after release? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
