Um, no...

>From my earlier email -

mahan@gypsy-new-~ 6 > grep "text/plain" /usr/local/share/cups/mime/*.types
/usr/local/share/cups/mime/mime.types:text/plain                        txt
printable(0,1024)

The location of mime.types is where it should be.

The permissions are -

gypsy-new# ls -l /usr/local/share/cups/mime/mime.types
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  6743 Nov 19 18:08 /usr/local/share/cups/mime/mime.types

Here are the *.types in /usr/local/etc/cups/

gypsy-new# find /usr/local/etc/cups -name "*.types"
/usr/local/etc/cups/apple.types
/usr/local/etc/cups/command.types

So I'm still not sure why this is broken now.  Is there someway to enable
debugging in the filter handling?

Thanks,

Patrick
