Subject: hylafax-server: postscript files from windows clients don't print, simple fix suggested
To: submit@bugs.debian.org
X-Mailer: bug 3.2.10
Message-Id: <E12ygaY-0000kA-00@brutus.acropole.org.br>
Date: Sun, 04 Jun 2000 17:01:38 -0300
Delivered-To: submit@bugs.debian.org
Package: hylafax-server
Version: 4.0.2-14
Severity: normal
Some windows clients, when generating .ps files, force an output width of
1734 pixels, while the maximum for faxing is 1728. The
/var/spool/fax/bin/ps2fax script *tries* to deal with it, but when the .ps
file uses setpagedevice postscript command, the try does not work. This
includes very common .drvs used on Windows to print .ps files.
A very simple workaround, many times commented on the hylafax mailing lists
exists: adding a "-dFIXEDMEDIA to the gs command line. This way, the
/var/spool/fax/bin/ps2fax would end in:
$CAT $fil | $PS -q \
-sDEVICE=$device \
-dNOPAUSE \
-dSAFER=true \
-sPAPERSIZE=$paper \
-dFIXEDMEDIA \
-r204x$vres \
"-sOutputFile=$out" \
-
instead of the current one:
$CAT $fil | $PS -q \
-sDEVICE=$device \
-dNOPAUSE \
-dSAFER=true \
-sPAPERSIZE=$paper \
-r204x$vres \
"-sOutputFile=$out" \
-
Very simple patch, probably usefull to many people.
The FIXEDMEDIA flag, as documented by the ghostscript docs, makes it clip
pages that are larger than the specified pagewidth. It is available since
the 3.41 version, and the last bug related to it was fixed on 5.01 ("- With
dFIXEDMEDIA, documents requesting other sizes caused an error
instead of clipping the page. (gs_init.ps)"
So, if this flag is included, hylafax-server should depend on gs or
gs-aladdin, version greater than 5.01.
