Package: cups
Version: 1.3.8-1+lenny7
Severity: important


imagetoraster, when directed to generate 16 bit output, generates blank (i.e. 
all white) raster data.

Specifically:
        - input image is a JFIF file
        - output raster format set to RGB, 16 bits per pixel, chunky format 
(via PPD file:
                ColorModel rgb/RGB: "<</cupsColorOrder 0/cupsColorSpace 
1/cupsCompression 0
                /cupsBitsPerColor 16>>setpagedevice")
        - a valid raster file is generated, however all RGB values are 0xffff 
(i.e. white).
        - if bit depth is changed to 8 bits in the otherwise unchanged PPD 
file, everything
                works fine (i.e. the generated raster data contains the image 
data).

Impact:
        While not much of a problem for generic office-type printing, it 
renders CUPS
        virtually useless for high quality photo printing if one can only pass 
8 bit data
        to the printer driver.

Dear Debian User,

This bug report was submitted against a version of CUPS that is no
longer supported in Debian. Use of our limited, volunteer supported
resources is best served by not keeping around old, hardware-specific
and inactive bugs for longer than desirable, so the report is now being
closed.

You may, of course, wish to review the reported problem. It would be
appreciated if any future investigation could be conducted using the
testing or unstable distributions. If considered necessary, a new bug
report, possibly referencing this one, would be submitted. Please note
there are now separate cups and cups-filters packages.

Thank you for your report.

Regards,

Brian.
