Bug Description

Trying to print PDFs to my Brother HL-5280DW fails on two separate laptops, one running 11.10 and one 12.04 using Okular or Document Viewer. Have no problem printing test pages or other documents.

The problem seem to be cups.

I can successfully print the same PDFs to the same printer on the Windows side.

Perhaps your problem is the same as bug 994477. Ther you find instructions for installing a package with a proposed fix. Please try it and tell us whether this solves your problem. Thanks.

Thanks Till. You're right. My bug is a duplicate of 994477. Installing the cups-filters package solved the problem on my 12.04 install. Is there a way for me to install this on my wife's 11.10 installation?
