[Touch-packages] [Bug 1712019] [NEW] Driverless printing only prints a blank sheet 17.10
Public bug reported: Driverless printing works perfectly in Ubuntu 17.04 with my Epson WF 3620. Scanning is also perfect. I have 17.10 on another SSD and driverless printing was working but recent updates have broken this. I reinstalled from the Aug 14th daily build and have updated it daily but printing still does not work ** Affects: cups (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to cups in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1712019 Title: Driverless printing only prints a blank sheet 17.10 Status in cups package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Driverless printing works perfectly in Ubuntu 17.04 with my Epson WF 3620.

I think these files are the same. It took me a little while to realise that on filename uses hyphens and the other underscores. Otherwise they are the same.

Re: [Touch-packages] [Bug 1712019] Re: Driverless printing only prints a blank sheet 17.10
There is no dialog to print in draft either in printing from LibreOffice or from chrome. If I add another printer and it searches for a driver then draft printing is on the menu but printing still does not work. I deleted the PPD files from etc/cups/ppd and copied the old (17.04) PPD file into the directory. This does not help. unfortunately the earliest daily build I have is 14th August when the problem had already occurred. I can not try an earlier Kernal.

Re: [Touch-packages] [Bug 1712019] Re: Driverless printing only prints a blank sheet 17.10
I think you discount a kernel problem too lightly. When CUPS has started a print job it has to send it to the printer. In my case over the network. This involves the kernel and or the network driver. I have just tried the daily build of Ubuntu Gnome - the browser can not find google and ubuntu Budgie - same problem. The ppd file for the printer is present in both distributions. I will re-install Ubuntu tomorrow and try again. 17.04 works perfectly.

Re: [Touch-packages] [Bug 1712019] Re: Driverless printing only prints a blank sheet 17.10
I apologise for doubting you I think the fault is in the PPD file. I have a second computer for my grandchildren and visitors and this also has a network printer. This is usually turned off and I use the one in my study (WF). I have turned the printer on (XP) and this is recognised by the clean install of 17.10 and prints correctly! I enclose the PPD file for this. I will do the other tests you sugest later. Rod Jones On 22 August 2017 at 23:18, Roderic Jones wrote: > I think you discount a kernel problem too lightly.

Re: [Touch-packages] [Bug 1712019] Re: Driverless printing only prints a blank sheet 17.10
I have done these tests. a lot of fiddling with the files was necessary because they all have to be owned by root to work. The "old" ppd file produces draft, normal and high printouts as you would expect. The new PPD file produces draft and high output but normal just ejects a blank sheet. This has been the problem. I have tried fiddling with the print settings printing from chrome but I van not get any mark on the paper. Printing from libre Office Write is the same but in the print dialog as well as the two printers "oldppd" and "newppd" show up. If you select "oldppd" it prints correctly.

Re: [Touch-packages] [Bug 1712019] Re: Driverless printing only prints a blank sheet 17.10
I can confirm that the fix works. Well done. I have used Ubuntu for many years and have installed it for family and friends. I initially recommended HP printers because HPLIP worked so well. 5 years ago we downsized and I wanted to archive a lot of stuff and HP did not have a suitable machine for duplex scanning and printing. The Epson machine is excellent but installing the drivers was always a bit of a pain. 17.04 was a revelation and I immediately stopped using 16.04. I suppose you can now use most printers but my sister (in USA) has a Cannon - that was a real pain. Many thanks for your hard work.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1536353] Re: [regression] Printer drivers install is broken as lsb package is not available anymore
This is still not working for me. I have Ubuntu 16.04 and Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 on different SSDs and neither of them will print using an Epson WF-3520. The cups-filters packages installed are 1.8.3-2ubuntu2 I see that this effects other makes of printer (e.g. Brother) where the driver has to be downloaded. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to lsb in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1536353 Title: [regression] Printer drivers install is broken as lsb package is not available anymore Status in lsb: Invalid Status in cups-filters package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in lsb package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in system-config-printer package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Starting with Xenial, lsb compatibility packages were dropped (besides lsb-release and lsb-base): lsb (9.20150826) unstable; urgency=low * Drop all the LSB compatibility packages besides lsb-release and lsb-base - Drop packages-availability checking in lsb-release - Truncate README.Debian to a minimum - Document this in lsb-base.NEWS.Debian * Change the versioning number to avoid any ambiguity; use joeyh's version.date, with version being Debian next stable's -- Didier Raboud Wed, 26 Aug 2015 12:00:00 +0200 The problem is that downloadable printer drivers (like the ones from Openprinting, but also from other available providers) that are suggested when installing a printer on Ubuntu depends on lsb, which is not available anymore: epson-inkjet-printer-201106w: Dépend: lsb (>=3.2) but it is not installable This triggers a regression where it is not possible to setup a printer this way (downloading a driver where no local driver is available) anymore.

I have wiped Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 and done a fresh install of Ubuntu 15.10. the epson-printer-utility_1.0.0-1lsb3.2_amd64 installs and the printer works perfectly - so the defect must be in the 16.04 libraries -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to lsb in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1536353 Title: [regression] Printer drivers install is broken as lsb package is not available anymore Status in lsb: Invalid Status in cups-filters package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in lsb package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in system-config-printer package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Starting with Xenial, lsb compatibility packages were dropped (besides lsb-release and lsb-base): lsb (9.20150826) unstable; urgency=low * Drop all the LSB compatibility packages besides lsb-release and lsb-base - Drop packages-availability checking in lsb-release - Truncate README.Debian to a minimum - Document this in lsb-base.NEWS.Debian * Change the versioning number to avoid any ambiguity; use joeyh's version.date, with version being Debian next stable's -- Didier Raboud Wed, 26 Aug 2015 12:00:00 +0200 The problem is that downloadable printer drivers (like the ones from Openprinting, but also from other available providers) that are suggested when installing a printer on Ubuntu depends on lsb, which is not available anymore: epson-inkjet-printer-201106w: Dépend: lsb (>=3.2) but it is not installable This triggers a regression where it is not possible to setup a printer this way (downloading a driver where no local driver is available) anymore.

I can confirm that this works but my printer (WF-3250) is not in the list. Experimentation is required.
