failure to print (samba HEAD, cups, raw printers)

[Ronan Waide]

hi folks,

again with the peculiar setup :) I've set up raw printers in cups to
match the windows network, and added the correct windows drivers to
feed them. One of the printers, a HP Colour LaserJet 8500 in PCL mode,
fails at the testpage stage with this message:

"the data area passed to a system call is too small"

I've done a trace of the attempt, which I can forward if required. I
thought this might be the large RPC bug that tpot was looking at, but
I'm not sure.

Cheers,
Waider.

Anyway, yes. Known bug. Try entering only numbers as your phone number, no
