[Foomatic] foomatic/a2ps does not print...

[fred]

Hi,

I just have successfully installed cups. Good.

However, I have a problem with filtering ASCII text file, using a2ps via
foomatic.

Here's my /etc/cups/mime.convs file :
application/pdf         application/postscript  33      pdftops
application/postscript  application/vnd.cups-postscript 66      pstops
application/vnd.hp-HPGL application/postscript  66      hpgltops
application/x-cshell    application/postscript  33      texttops
application/x-perl      application/postscript  33      texttops
application/x-shell     application/postscript  33      texttops
text/plain              application/postscript  33      cupsomatic

Here's my /etc/foomatic/filter.conf :
# Command for converting text files to PostScript.
#
# Priority low
# textfilter: a2ps

# Enable debug output into a logfile in /tmp/foomatic-rip.log.
# It will contain status from this filter, plus Ghostscript stderr output.
#
# WARNING: This logfile is a potential security hole; do not use in production.
#
# Priority low
debug: 1

With debug set to 1, I have /tmp/foomatic-rip.ps and /tmp/foomatic-rip.log.
These files are ok.

But in /var/log/cups/error_log, I have 
I [09/Aug/2004:12:14:58 +0200] Adding end banner page "none" to job 65.
I [09/Aug/2004:12:14:58 +0200] Job 65 queued on 'epsonbw' by 'fred'.

E [09/Aug/2004:12:15:00 +0200] PID 2172 stopped with status 1!

So, there is a problem between pstops and pstoraster.

If I set LogLevel to debug in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, I have in error_log :

D [09/Aug/2004:12:18:25 +0200] [Job 66] Error: /undefined in ^[@^[

Where ^[@^[ come from ?
Any idea ?
How can I debug this ?

Thanks in advance.

PS : a2ps foo.txt works fine, but lpr foo.txt does not.
