Bug Description

I have a printer (Samsung ML-2010) shared via a ubuntu 8.04 box. When I installed it in intreprid it gave me a dialog I had to install rastertospl2 before printing (Installation did finish). I tried to install it but it is not in the repos.

When I tried printing a test-page it just works.

Description: Ubuntu intrepid (development branch)
Release: 8.10

system-config-printer-common:
  Installed: 1.0.5+git20080819-0ubuntu3

Additional info from a different user (tutufan):
I have the same printer and it worked fine before an upgrade to the beta of intrepid. After the upgrade, print jobs failed with a status complaining about that same missing filter, rastertospl2. I deleted the printer and readded it and things work again. So, annoying, but that appears to be the workaround.

I can attest to tutufan that deleting and reinstalling the printer worked. Using Ubuntu 8.1 and Samsung ML-2010.

Thomas,
rastertospl2 is part of the splix package, which version of the splix package do you have installed?
Can you describe the exact steps you have taken to see the rastertospl2 dialog.

Tutufan and woodman.dana,
This is a different issue than described by Thomas.
You are experiencing the issue described in bug #264749, which has been fixed in Jaunty.

Your PPD is of an older SpliX package whereas a new SpliX got installed onto your system with anm update. Problem was that the PPDs of existing print queues did not get automatically updated. This is solved in Jaunty. There ALL printer driver packages update the PPDs of the existing queues automatically,
