Bug#428043: gutenprint: Error in HP Color LJ ppd's (no colour, but gray)
Package: cupsys-driver-gutenprint
Version: 5.0.0-3
Severity: Important
Hello,
this message is to report to you, that the ppd-files of type
stp_hp_clj_... generated for use with cups in
/usr/share/ppd/gutenprint/5.0/en
are all 'wrong' in the sense that all these colour(!) HP
laserprinters get files destined for b/w- or gray printers.
So any colour output will be printet in b/w or gray resp.
[(A lot of) other colour printers are fine (HP DJ, other
manufacturers etc.).]
Since the files are generated from a database, I'm not really sure
"cupsys-driver-gutenprint" is the package to blame, but as genppd
from this package generates these files, this is the first package
to turn to. Please pass this message along to the maintainer
'responsible' for the mistake, if this one is not the guilty one.
Thank you.
[For versioning: All of the systems involved are on Debian 'stable'
(alias 'etch') with 'proposed-updates' installed on the date of
this message (June, 8th, 2007).]
Sincerely,
Ruediger Oberhage
