| JEI | I found the following error in the CUPS log. "stopped with status 141 (Unknown error 41)"; "Job stopped due to filter errors;" I'm using gostpdl-9.52. If gpcl6 returns this status, please tell me what it means. | 05:00.59 |
| kens | JEI never heard of that error. You're going to hae to find someone who understands CUPS and get us a Ghostscript/GhostPCL command line, and a file that shows the problem before we can help you | 06:57.57 |
| JEI | I wrote the following simple filter.#!/bin/shtmpdir=/var/spool/cups/fifo/usr/local/bin/gpcl6 -dNOPAUSE -lPCL5E -sDEVICE=pbmraw -r600 -sOutputFile=$tmpdir/Fifo $6 | 07:14.28 |
| | Fifo is named pipe in order to receive pbmraw data. | 07:15.08 |
| kens | And the result of running that is ? | 07:16.13 |
| | Note that you should be able to run that command from the shell, without involving CUPS at all. | 07:16.45 |
| JEI | If print job is single job, then it works well. But if multi-job, the CUPS will spool them, and sometime CUPS reports above error. | 07:17.44 |
| kens | Well that seems to me like a CUPS error | 07:18.00 |
| | Possibly its trying to do something like send multiple files simultaneously, or run files concurrently, which obviously isn't going to work well if you are using a single named pipe as the destination | 07:18.37 |
| JEI | Okay, let me confirm that gpcl6 never exit with 141 or 41. Is it true? | 07:18.53 |
| kens | I don't think this is a problem we can help you with though | 07:18.55 |
| | All Ghostscript family interpreters exit with a negative number | 07:19.12 |
| | On error | 07:19.16 |
| | So 141 or 41 should not be a posible exit status | 07:19.29 |
| JEI | Noted. | 07:19.57 |
| chrisl | JEI: I'm assume there is some whitespace missing in that filter line? | 07:23.36 |
| JEI | No, because I'm not familiar with how to enter this IRC. The problem is occurring in China and I am looking into it from Japan. | 07:26.30 |
| chrisl | Well, it's just "tmpdir=/var/spool/cups/fifo/usr/local/bin/gpcl6" probably isn't what is intended | 07:27.07 |
| JEI | Yes | 07:28.22 |
| chrisl | "Yes, that's intended" or "Yes, there are spaces missing"? | 07:29.54 |
| JEI | I'll investigate other than gpcl6. Thank you very much. | 07:30.04 |
| | "Yes, that's intended" | 07:30.46 |
| chrisl | Well, that's not going to work | 07:31.53 |
