Package: cups-filters
Version: 1.0.18-2.1+deb7u1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
When upgrading my system from Squeeze to Wheezy, my printer stopped working.
It's a HP LaserJet 4000, installed with Cups, HPLIP, using the PostScript PPD.
The printer has plenty of memory (384KB).
The print job would take a long time on the PC before being sent to the
printer. The printer processing light blink for a long time, and either print
an error or just stop processing and output nothing. There is no way to get a
page out of it for normal application, unless the document is dead simple.
Similarly, test pages from HPLIP works fine.
After scouring the web, part of the fix is to change the PDF to PS renderer.
The document claim loss os color accuracy when doing it, as the printer is B/W,
probably nothing was lost. I don't understand why it's not the default for
those old printers.
The magic command is :
lpadmin -p <printer-name> -o pdftops-renderer-default=pdftops
Note that the default PostScript PPD for the 4000 is buggy, but that's another
bug report.

Changes:
cups-filters (1.0.50-1) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* New upstream bug fix release
- pdftops: Let old HP LaserJet printers (model number without
letter, like "LaserJet 3" or "LaserJet 4000") use Poppler
instead of Ghostscript (Closes: #742765).
- pdftops: Improved workaround for Toshiba printers. Instead
of using Poppler do not emit TrueType fonts with Ghostscript
(LP: #998087).
- cups-browsed: Build the device URIs for all local queues we create
with the CUPS library function httpAssembleURIf() for proper
percent escaping of characters which are not allowed in URIs
(Upstream bug #1187).
