Package: openprinting-ppds Version: 20120523-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
when I connect my local printer (HP LaserJet 1200) with a USB cable to my computer, the printer is automatically set up with the PostScript PPD ('HP LaserJet 1200 Postscript [en]') driver, which is the only driver provided by CUPS that doesn't work for my printer. I tried all drivers with the CUPS USB as well as the CUPS HP backend, but this didn't seem to make any difference. The drivers that work (I'm able to print a test page): - HP LaserJet 1200 pcl3, hpcups 3.12.6 [en] - HP LaserJet 1200 hpijs pcl3, 3.12.6 [en] - HP LaserJet 1200 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.9 [en] - HP LaserJet 1200 Foomatic/lj4dith [en] - HP LaserJet 1200 Foomatic/lj5gray [en] - HP LaserJet 1200 Foomatic/ljet4 [en] - HP LaserJet 1200 Foomatic/pxlmono [en] The drivers that don't work (I'm not able to print a test page): - HP LaserJet 1200 Postscript [en] * - HP LaserJet 1200 Foomatic/Postscript [en] Here's what happens when I try to print a test page with the Postscript driver: CUPS says 'Busy - "Sending data to printer."' and the green LED on my printer blinks green (which means something like 'receiving data') for about 22-23 minutes. After that two pages are printed: the first page is blank except for the last 4cm of the page where I get a part of the frame of the text page; on the second page i get an error message which differs for Postscipt and Foomatic/Postscript. Here are the two versions: HP LaserJet 1200 Foomatic/Postscript: ERROR: undefined OFFENDING COMMAND: #$NH STACK: -mark- -mark- -mark- HP LaserJet 1200 Postscript: ERROR: syntaxerror OFFENDING COMMAND: STACK: -mark- -mark- -mark- After printing this two pages the green LED on my printer continues to blink for a few minutes, the CUPS status for the printer will remain 'Idle - "Sending data to printer."' (forever).
