Bug#580963: -dUseCIEColor is guilty



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
