Package: cups Version: 1.5.3-5 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
After upgrading my print server to Wheezy, I've had a lot of problems printing on my Lexmark E238 laser printer. When printing from a linux client, it will sometimes print just the top corner zoomed to fill the whole page. This happens roughly half of the time, and only on the first page of a multi page print job. Otherwise it prints properly. I'm using the pcl5 driver. (Generic PCL 5 Printer Foomatic/ljet3). If I print from a Windows box using direct/raw access (with the Lexmark driver specifically for this printer), I get page after page of gobbledegook (probably PCL6 source code.) If I set a windows machine to print using a generic postscript driver, it acts the same as a linux client. It sometimes works, but sometimes prints the first page zoomed way in. Given the symptoms, it seems to me that the printer isn't being properly initialized. It doesn't recognise PCL6, and sometimes gets the resolution wrong using PCL 5. Does anyone have any ideas? I'd really like to have reliable printing again before Jessie comes out.
