Package:cups-filters

Version 1.0.44

 

Package: ghostscript

Version 9.05

 

Details:

 

When I  print a pdf document (compilers.pdf  page 69-72) mentioned @ https://answers.launchpad.net/hplip/+question/243753 , on Debian 7.0 , I can reproduce the issue logged  by Frederik. While debugging the issue I found that the document generated using pdftopdf->pstops filters has some issues .  Here is what I did.

 

1)      cupsfilter -m application/vnd.cups-postscript -o "page-ranges=69-72" -p /etc/cups/ppd/HP_LaserJet_500_MFP_M525.ppd /tmp/compilers.pdf > /tmp/printout_gs_9_05.ps

2)      lpr –o raw –P HP_LaserJet_500_MFP_M525 /tmp/printout_gs_9_05.ps  (Printer prints error message : OFFENDING COMMAND instead of printing actual contents)

3)      Opened /tmp/printout_gs_9_05.ps in gsview

ègsview shows 2 errors/warnings

a)      DSC Warning at line 4301 %%Endprolog

b)      %%BeginResource %%EndResource The number of %%BeginResource %%EndResource do not match.

These two errors cause printer firmware to print error message on paper

 

4)      I printed the same document  in ubuntu 10.10 and I do not get any issues while opening the generated ps file in gsviewer  and  printing also works fine.(But here pdftops conversion is not done by ghostscript)

5)      I upgraded ghostscript version to 9.10 in Debian 7.10 and then executed step 1-3 again, but I still see errors in generated output file.

 

Please look into the issue or assign to a concerned owner and  let affected user or me know if there is any workaround/alternative, so that user can at least print documents unless the issue is fixed. Please find all the related files in the attachment.

 

Thanks,

Sanjay

Hi,

this bug was marked as "fixed-upstream" long time ago, so it was probably fixed in a later upload. Thus I am manually closing this bug now.

Best regards,
Thorsten
