Package: cups
Version: 1.5.2-4
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainers,
as it seems, all postscript printers do not work anymore. I must admit that
is at this point an assumption, but I can no longer print on any postscript
printer I own anymore. With the packages still in testing it still works, with
sids cups (and the version before the curent one) I only get the following
message in the active-jobs-page on the cups webinterface:
"PDF file is damaged - attempting to reconstruct xref table..."
This happens ALWAYS when trying to print a testpage (from within the cups
webfrontend), when printing from various apps (iceweasel, libreoffice, ...) it
does show the printjobs as completed or show the message mentioned above but
in any case nothing is printed at all. In addition this may freeze my printers
so that a a complete power-cycle is needed for them to respond again.
I have two kyocera printers, one FS-920 (USB) and one FS-1100 (ethernet), both
show the same symptoms. I have seen at least some reports on the web with the
same or similar issue but not limited to kyocera printers.
I file this bug as "grave" so at least a newer cups does not hit testing
before this issue is somewhat resolved, a workaround or fix known or at least
known what causes the issue. I did not find any clue up until now and I did
not have the chance to test other printers, so I am not 100% sure how many
people will have this issue, but I guess it does hit at least many, maybe even
all postscript printers. But the last thing is as already said just an
assumption right now.
regards
Michael

This report was filed against a version of cups-filters/cups which is no
longer supported. There have been quite a number of significant changes
in both packages since then and it is quite possible the issue was fixed
by one or more of them. Testing with the present testing/stable would be
advisable. Note that one aspect of the filtering which can be altered is
the renderer. Please submit a new report if the problem remains.
Cheers,
