Bug#699550: Problems printing with Epson EPL-5800 (eplaser)



Package: ghostscript
Version: 9.05~dfsg-6.3

After a fresh install of current (beta) Debian 7 wheezy I found
that my Epson EPL-5800 printer works strangely: After it is switched on
by the power-button it accepts the jobs from the PC well and the
result is OK. However, the next job is screwed up and a couple
of lines appear on the paper - the first line starts with the following:

@EJL JI USER="" MACHINE="" DOCUMENT=""

It seems thus that the printer is somehow not properly resetted
after the first job and it expects plain text whereas the
ghostscript driver send esc/Page language.

Previously I used this printer on the Fedora linux distros up to
Fedora 14 and it didn't have this problem.

Now, i'm using ghostscript 9.05~dfsg-6.3 with cups 1.5.3-2.13. The printer is
connected over USB (uname -a:
Linux dalet 3.2.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.2.35-2 i686 GNU/Linux) on a server
and used by one linux and one windows client - the problem exists with both.

Thank You!
