Heyho! Yellow backgrounds may be stylish, but not really what I want :-) Here's what I figured out so far on the HP Color Laserjet 3800 with the ppd from hplip-data 3.10.2-3 (hp-color_laserjet_3800-ps.ppd. (But remember: a Lexmark and a Dell printer show the same effect so it seems to be a more general problem.) The output from OpenOffice is being processed by ""/usr/bin/ps2pdf13 -dAutoRotatePages=/None -dAutoFilterColorImages=false -dNOPLATFONTS -dPARANOIDSAFER -sstdout=%stderr -dColorImageFilter=/FlateEncode -dPDFSETTINGS=/printer -dUseCIEColor -dDoNumCopies -r600 - -"" This is then turned back into a ps by: ""/usr/bin/pdftops -level2 -origpagesizes /var/spool/cups/tmp/pdftops.x2fpmI -"" Omitting the -dUseCIEColor options fixes the background and produces a warning that I should use it for UseDeviceIndependentColor to work properly. Obviously I'm happy to get this warning as long as my printouts look fine. Now: how do I tell cups not to generate -dUseCIEColor? Will continue to investigate. cheers -- vbi -- "I got more room in iptables then they got ip allocations :)" -- Some Bastard, news.admin.net-abuse.email, 2004-02-13
