Rastertogutenprint. 5.2 not found

General Discussion
1

I add the printer in the Settings, but I can’t print because /pathto/rastertogutenprint.5.2 not found.
Printer connected to PC with Ubuntu 18.04.3 and shared to local network. From Windows no any problem found.

What can I do?
Thanks

FIle a detailed bug on github that includes the exact error output. Include details like type of printer, relevant dmesg/journalctl output, error messages etc.

LocalNetwork looks:
ClearLinux → router <-Ubuntu <-printer (EPSON Stylus-Photo-R220)

Step to reproduce:

  1. Share printer on Ubuntu
  2. Add printer on ClearLinux PC via Gnome Settings

LOGS:

  1. journalctl
  2. dmesg
  3. From Logs

And after send to print:
Mar 16 03:59:17 clr gedit[2514]: no pages to print

Seems like we updated gutenprint to 5.3, Can you restart cupsd or reboot, and try again?

After stop/start and reboot error repeated:

I’m unsure of what to fix, at this point. You can possibly symlink the missing 5.2 filter to the 5.3 one in the folder and try that.

Symlink not help, get another but similar errors with other filters (
For me I see 2 methods:

  1. Update cups on Ubuntu to 5.3 (==dark forest for me)
  2. Connect printer to notebook with Windows and share

Thanks.

though this topic is 3.5 years old, i ran into the same problem and it seems unsolved in this thread. Therefore, try this solution if you come across this problem:

  • edit your printers that use a gutenprint 5.2 driver in cups and select the gutenprint 5.3 version of the same driver
  • restart cups
