Can anyone help please....thanks Alan

Hi Alan,

Your error_log shows where the problem is.  The program imagetoraster
has caused problems for several people on different systems.  The
solution that has worked for others is finding a different way to rasterize 
the image.  There is a file in the distribution called quad.convs -- if you
have not used this already it may solve the problem.  Place it in the 
/etc/cups  directory and then restart the cups daemon -- if you don't
know how rebooting is the easiest.  Try this and see if it works.

If not send me ( quadtone<at>harrington.com) a copy of all the files
in /etc/cups with either .types or .convs extention and an ls -l of
/usr/lib/cups/filter   -- I'll figure out how to modify them.

Roy

Thanks Roy

I copied the quad.convs program over to /etc/cups and restarted 
cupsd. However cups is still using imagetoraster according to the 
log file. Do any scripts have to changed to point to quad.convs?

Thanks Alan
