Bug Description

I'm using Gutsy, and it's up-to-date.

Once month ago, I was able to print to my bluetooth HP printer, after added very easily this with new system-config-printer.
However, if the printer is OK, and the setup of system-config-printer too, it's not working anymore.

Logs from /var/log/cups/error_log :
E [01/Oct/2007:21:22:26 +0200] [Job 27] Can't open Bluetooth connection

I can see that my bluetooth stick *doesn't blink* asit usually did while sending a printing request.
But I can use the backend directly and see it blinking :
$ /usr/lib/cups/backend/bluetooth
network bluetooth://0005164004A2 "Unknown" "deskjet 995c S/N MY1581C042AP (Bluetooth)"

I don't know how to print the job directly, using the backend. So I can't tell you more.

TEST CASE:
 - Make sure bluez-cups is installed and enable a Bluetooth adapter.
 - Create a bogus bluetooth printer:
   lpadmin -p test -E -v bluetooth://00408C5E5DA4/spp -m lsb/usr/cups-pdf/PostscriptColor.ppd
 - try to print something:
   echo hello | lp -d test
 - dmesg will show that apparmor denied BT access:
   type=1503 operation="socket_create" family="bluetooth" sock_type="seqpacket" protocol=0 pid=15635 profile="/usr/sbin/cupsd"
 - Delete the test printer again:
   lpadmin -x test

Same problem if I use hp:/usb/deskjet_995c?serial=MY1581C042AP URI (detected automatically when I pluged USB cable).

The updates fixes hp:/ URI (this part was a duplicate).

But there still is a problem with bluetooth :
E [04/Oct/2007:12:19:40 +0200] PID 26891 (/usr/lib/cups/backend/bluetooth) stopped with status 1!
E [04/Oct/2007:12:19:40 +0200] [Job 31] Can't open Bluetooth connection

This probably is an other udev rule to change.

I've got the same problem here. Bluetooth printing to HP Deskjet 995C was working fine earlier in the Gutsy release cycle but tonight I find it can't print and the reason appears to be related to the appamor configuration in /etc/appamor.d/usr.sbin.cupsd since disabling appamor (sudo /etc/init.d/appamor stop) allows the printing to go ahead.

I found a comment that seems strongly related to this in bug #139665 by Martin Pitt:

https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cupsys/+bug/139665/comments/2

Which seems to suggest the issue isn't strictly appamor but cups trying to access /dev/tty inappropriately.

This bug seems to have landed on the milestone rather late, too late to be included in gutsy final. It looks like a good candidate for a post-release update; in the meantime I've added it to the release notes.

This is the debdiff for hardy which fixes this bug, bug 155530, bug 152537 (all milestoned for gutsy-updates), and unbreaks parallel port printer detection. The changes are confined to loosening some ACLs in the AppArmor profile. Thus the regression potential is zero, the worst thing that can happen is that some bugs are still not fully fixed (but I tested all of them, and the switching to unconfined execution of the mfp and bluetooth backends will make all apparmor bugs for them go away).

Updated debdiff which reverts the unconfined execution of the bluetooth backend, now that bug #172534 has a proper solution. It just allows creation of bluetooth network sockets now.

pitti asked me for testing the -proposed package with my Bluetooth printer (HP PhotoSmart A710 with Bluetooth plug in its USB memory/camera port).

As I do not have Gutsy, I have tried with Hardy but with the Gutsy kernel booted (2.6.22), as the Hardy kernel (2.6.24) has no AppArmor support compiled in.

Unfortunately, AppArmor does not work with this configuration. It seems that the AppArmor profile format has changed in an incompatible way. On restart of AppArmor I get something like

Profile /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.ntpd failed to load
/sbin/apparmor_parser: Unable to replace "/usr/sbin/smbd". Profile doesn't conform to protocol

on nearly every profile.

I get

till@till-laptop:~/ubuntu/cupsys/proposed$ sudo aa-status cupsdapparmor module is loaded.
0 profiles are loaded.
0 profiles are in enforce mode.
0 profiles are in complain mode.
0 processes have profiles defined.
0 processes are in enforce mode :
0 processes are in complain mode.
0 processes are unconfined but have a profile defined.
till@till-laptop:~/ubuntu/cupsys/proposed$

which shows that the cupsd profile did not get accepted, too.

So in my environment I cannot test, and AppArmor needs to be sorted out that it works on Hardy.
