When I open the applet it freezes...

The F-clef is (surprise!) a stylized F. You want a G clef.

I mentioned briefly on zephyr, but when zsr came back up, jobs submitted from non-cups (or is it non-IPP?) clients were getting stuck in a held state: root@zygorthian-space-raiders:~# lpstat -l -osipbmp3 sipbmp3-13382 kaduk 3861504 Fri 03 Dec 2010 9:18:00 PM EST

Alerts: job-hold-until-specified queued for sipbmp3

(jobs submitted using cups clients played uneventfully)

Looking at /tmp/gutenbach.log , we see a bunch of things like: STDERR FROM SPOOL FILTER Got @ARGV: $VAR1 = [

There is more in /var/log/cups/error_log (.1.gz at the moment), but it is less interesting: D [03/Dec/2010:21:03:56 -0500] [Job 13381] The following messages were recorded from 09:03:56 PM to 09:03:56 PM D [03/Dec/2010:21:03:56 -0500] [Job 13381] Job submission timed out.

So the gziptoany filter's error is what is shown in the super-verbose lpstat output, which is a bit confusing to users.

Going back to the error in gutenbach.log, it's coming from here:

69 # If we weren't given a filename, we need to read from stdin. Since 70 # mplayer really wants a file, let's write out to a temporary file 71 # first. 72 if (!$arguments{"file"}) { 73 my ($fh, $file) = tempfile("gutenbachXXXXX", UNLINK => 1); # Ask File::Temp for a safe temporary file 74 my $buf; 75 while (read(STDIN, $buf, 1024*1024)) { # Read 1M at a time and put it in the temporary file 76 print $fh $buf; 77 } 78 close($fh); 79 $arguments{"file"} = $file; 80 }

The call to tempfile() on line 73 fails, I presume because it is running as an unprivileged user (lp?) in a PWD (/root ?) that it is not authorized to write to. The workaround that I put in place was to just hardcode the tempfile path to begin in /tmp -- but I'm not very happy with that, not knowing for sure where it was trying to write and as what user.
