Re: Debugging a "Job Stopped" Error

I have a modern Carbon/Quartz application that prints on Tiger by calling PMSessionBeginCGDocument / PMSessionGetCGGraphicsContext and using Quartz to draw into the resulting CGContextRef. For the most part this works fine, but rarely I hear from users with a Canon printer who can't print from my app even though they can print from their other apps. If they save a PDF file from the print dialog they can print it from Preview without any additional trouble.

I recently collected a CUPS debug log from a user with this problem using a Canon i550 with 10.4.3. The print job starts bug then terminates without printing with a "Job Stopped" message. The interesting part of the log appears to be:

D [29/Nov/2005:16:56:44 -0800] [Job 512] fatal::internal error -2002
E [29/Nov/2005:16:56:44 -0800] PID 566 stopped with status 46!
D [29/Nov/2005:16:56:44 -0800] UpdateJob: job 512, file 0 is complete.
D [29/Nov/2005:16:56:44 -0800] StopJob: id = 512, force = 0
D [29/Nov/2005:16:56:44 -0800] dnssdRegisterPrinter(i550) update

D [29/Nov/2005:16:56:44 -0800] StopJob: printer state is 5

Can anybody tell me (or tell me where to look to find) what "fatal::internal error -2002" and "status 46" mean?
QuickTime defines -2002 as badPublicMovieAtom so I'm guessing this is a different error number space.

These errors are produced by the printer driver reporting a fatal, nonrecoverable error to the printing system. The error number they use is private and specific to the printer driver. To diagnose the kind of problem this is would require someone familiar with the Canon driver (i.e. Canon) to comment.


Obviously a reproducible case would be quite helpful but from your message it sounds like it is intermittent. I suggest filing a bug with as much information as you can and we can potentially follow up with Canon. Include specifics about the configuration (Mac OS X version, printer driver version, etc) and a PDF representation of the failing print job (using save as PDF) together with the print settings information for the problematic print job.
