printing problem with ubuntu

Asked by andrzej dlugosz

After installing some updates, I cant print anymore. I looked up on the internet but still didnt find a solution. Main message is "Can't detect file type". Below is a part of my log file from /var/log/cups/error_log:

Is the printer attached via USB and powered on when you ran the command? Is it a network printer?

Thanks for the help. After downgrading cups-filters package to version 1.0.17 from 1.0.18 can print again!
