Bug Description

Binary package hint: splix

Hi, this may be related to the splix package. In the last few versions of Ubuntu prior to Intrepid I've had no problem using this printer. However with Intrepid I've started having problems.

In the printer properties there's an error next to Printer State:

    Stopped - Filter "rastertospl2" for printer "ML-2010" not available: No such file or directory

There are no messages in /var/log/cups/error_log but in syslog there is:

    Sep 4 10:14:31 matts-laptop hal_lpadmin: Printer ML-2010 exists but is disabled, reason: Filter "rastertospl2" for printer "ML-2010" not available: No such file or directory; use 'cupsenable ML-2010' to enable it
