[amalgamas <1529458@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is a little embarrassing, but I have now come to the conclusion 
that there is some error in my printer.  I did try ubuntu 15.10, but 
then it occurred to me that I also should try older ubuntus, so I 
downloaded 12.04 and got the same result.

I then got my sons macbook once more and the printer failed yet again.

This has taken some time due to a tight time schedule in the new year. I 
am sorry for this.

Btw: the printer still works under windows 7, but even then there is 
some glitches, I have to press the paper feed button from time to time etc.

I don’t know what I should do with my bug report, retract or mark as
solved?

Thanks for the help.  I have ordered a new printer (repairs are way to 
costly in Norway)

Yours truly

Bjørn Forbord

  Since I upgraded from 12.04 to 14.04 this printer has not worked well.  Sometimes it prints after repeatedly pressing the paper feed button.  I often get the error message: "missing print filter".  I have had the printer for approx. 10 years, and it worked well before 14.04.

  I have tested on a windows 7 laptop and on a mac.  Both work well.

  Conclusion: printer is working.  Someting has happened to cups or the
  cups driver for this printer.

  I have tried the Open Printing user forum and only gotten a report
  from someone with the same problem

  I attach the error log (/var/log/cups/error_log)
