Selection of the renderer: Ghostscript or Poppler Hello Brian, better late than never, I finally found the time to perform the additional test you asked me to do (see the complete bug log [1], if, understandably, you don't remember the details...). [1] http://bugs.debian.org/662999 I've just performed the following test (with poppler-utils installed): (A) I searched for all the suitable drivers: # lpinfo -m | grep 1320 gutenprint.5.2://hp-lj_1320/expert HP LaserJet 1320 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.9 foomatic:HP-LaserJet_1320-Postscript.ppd HP LaserJet 1320 Foomatic/Postscript foomatic:HP-LaserJet_1320-pxlmono.ppd HP LaserJet 1320 Foomatic/pxlmono (recommended) drv:///hpijs.drv/hp-laserjet_1320-hpijs.ppd HP LaserJet 1320 hpijs, 3.12.6 drv:///hpijs.drv/hp-laserjet_1320_series-hpijs-pcl3.ppd HP LaserJet 1320 Series hpijs pcl3, 3.12.6 drv:///hpcups.drv/hp-laserjet_1320_series-pcl3.ppd HP LaserJet 1320 Series pcl3, hpcups 3.12.6 drv:///hpcups.drv/hp-laserjet_1320.ppd HP LaserJet 1320, hpcups 3.12.6 drv:///hpijs.drv/hp-laserjet_1320n-hpijs.ppd HP LaserJet 1320n hpijs, 3.12.6 drv:///hpcups.drv/hp-laserjet_1320n.ppd HP LaserJet 1320n, hpcups 3.12.6 drv:///hpijs.drv/hp-laserjet_1320nw-hpijs.ppd HP LaserJet 1320nw hpijs, 3.12.6 drv:///hpcups.drv/hp-laserjet_1320nw.ppd HP LaserJet 1320nw, hpcups 3.12.6 drv:///hpijs.drv/hp-laserjet_1320tn-hpijs.ppd HP LaserJet 1320tn hpijs, 3.12.6 drv:///hpcups.drv/hp-laserjet_1320tn.ppd HP LaserJet 1320tn, hpcups 3.12.6 (B) I removed the print queue and recreated it from scratch using the following PostScript PPD: # lpadmin -x lj # lpadmin -p lj -E -v parallel:/dev/lp0 \ -m foomatic:HP-LaserJet_1320-pxlmono.ppd \ -o pdftops-renderer=pdftops \ -L dining room -D HP LaserJet 1320 # lpoptions -p lj -o media=A4 -o sides=two-sided-long-edge # lpadmin -d lj It seems that it works this way, as well (for both plain text files and PDF files)! Now the question is: should I stay with this setup (PostScript PPD with Poppler renderer) or go back to the other one (PCL PPD with default renderer)? They both seem to work with my printer. I would greatly appreciate it, if you could tell me what you think about this dilemma...

Switching the renderer to poppler worked for me: sudo lpadmin -p hp-LaserJet-3015 -o pdftops-renderer-default=pdftops (Replace hp-LaserJet-3015 with the appropriate print queue name). Note that you also need to have poppler-utils installed, or the pdftops filter fails immediately: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=457810 -- Dwayne C.

Round about the printer failed just for some days, maybe two weeks. As I am actually working on a LaTeX-book (in german), that I will release in some months on GNU GPL or a corresponding licence, I almost use LaTeX friends. So I can say that there seem to be no problems with PostScript, PDF and TeX's DVI - as far as I can see, cause I'm not printing lots of material, mostly short tests. A pure .txt-file, even printed, looks good. Package versions (ditto): cups/1.5.3-1 cups-filters/1.0.18-2+b2 ghostscript/9.05~dfsg-6 Cheers and thanks, Stefan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

After that, I tried upgrading cups-filters to the version currently in unstable: [UPGRADE] cups-filters 1.0.2-1 - 1.0.7-1 This completely changed the outcome of the tests. I was able to print simple text files, as in: $ echo test | lpr but no PDF file could be printed at all: $ lpr file.pdf produced a blank page, followed by a page with the error message: Installing unstable's libcupsfilters1 too may be worth a try. Bug #664966 might also have a bearing on the outcome. There is also the README to look at. ERROR: invalidaccess OFFENDING COMMAND: filter STACK: /SubFileDecode endstream 0 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 15 false or similar (with 17 instead of 15, for instance). I don't know if this new issue is related to the bug I originally reported (maybe the new issue is #661866 ?!?). At first I thought not but then I read this (which has the changelog for what will probably be the next version of cups-filters): https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups-filters/+bug/960666 Regards, Brian. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#662999: cups: stopped printing (to parallel HP LaserJet 1320 printer) after 1.5.0-13

Thanks for your reply and sorry for following up so late... The parallel backend is from the cups-filters package, so reassigning. OK, I am registering a found version for the BTS version tracking... I tried upgrading cups, cups-bsd, cups-client to 1.5.2-6 (currently in unstable), but no joy. cups-filters 1.0.5-1 may be what you want. It does fix a problem with the parallel backend. Well, I've just done the following tests. First of all, after removing the pins, I performed the following upgrades: [INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] cups-filters [INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] libcupsfilters1 [UPGRADE] cups 1.5.0-13 - 1.5.2-5 [UPGRADE] cups-bsd 1.5.0-13 - 1.5.2-5 [UPGRADE] cups-client 1.5.0-13 - 1.5.2-5 [UPGRADE] cups-common 1.5.0-13 - 1.5.2-5 [UPGRADE] cups-ppdc 1.5.0-13 - 1.5.2-5 [UPGRADE] libcups2 1.5.0-13 - 1.5.2-5 [UPGRADE] libcupscgi1 1.5.0-13 - 1.5.2-5 [UPGRADE] libcupsdriver1 1.5.0-13 - 1.5.2-5 [UPGRADE] libcupsimage2 1.5.0-13 - 1.5.2-5 [UPGRADE] libcupsmime1 1.5.0-13 - 1.5.2-5 [UPGRADE] libcupsppdc1 1.5.0-13 - 1.5.2-5 This took me up-to-date with respect with current testing (with cups-filters/1.0.2-1). With this setup, I was still able to reproduce the bug. After that, I tried upgrading cups-filters to the version currently in unstable: [UPGRADE] cups-filters 1.0.2-1 - 1.0.7-1 This completely changed the outcome of the tests.

I downgraded back to cups/1.5.0-13 and friends, as described in my original bug report. Now I am again able to print text files and PDF files. Please fix the new cups(-filters) packages!

Bug#662999: cups: stopped printing (to parallel HP LaserJet 1320 printer) after 1.5.0-13 - 1.5.2-5 upgrade
Package: cups Version: 1.5.2-5 Severity: important Hello maintainers of cups Debian packages, I am experiencing a very awkward issue. After the 1.5.0-13 - 1.5.2-5 upgrade, my printer (an HP LaserJet 1320 connected via parallel port) printed a few pages and then printed a page with the following error message: ERROR: timeout OFFENDING COMMAND: timeout STACK: -mark- -mark- -mark- After that, I have no longer been able to print anything, not even simple text files as in: $ echo test | lpr When I try, the printer does nothing (but sometimes the printing LED blinks) and lpq says $ lpq lj is ready and printing RankOwner Job File(s) Total Size active (null) 503 untitled1024 bytes but nothing happens for a long time, until I lprm the print job. Since /var/log/cups/error_log says: E [07/Mar/2012:21:40:23 +0100] Filter oopstops not found. E [07/Mar/2012:21:40:23 +0100] Filter hpgltops not found. E [07/Mar/2012:21:40:23 +0100] Filter pstoraster not found. E [07/Mar/2012:21:40:23 +0100] Filter pstoraster not found. W [07/Mar/2012:21:40:23 +0100] failed to CreateProfile: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown:The name org.freedesktop.ColorManager was not provided by any .service files W [07/Mar/2012:21:40:23 +0100] failed to CreateDevice: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown:The name org.freedesktop.ColorManager was not provided by any .service files I thought it could perhaps be bug #662025 and tried downgrading foomatic-filters to version 4.0.9-1 (even though I had not upgraded it recently...), but this didn't help. I thought that maybe it needed colord (which I didn't install, as it is only a recommendation, not a dependency, and pulls in many other packages that I would rather avoid seeing on a headless box that should run a print server and only a few other services): I tried installing colord and its numerous dependencies, but this didn't help either. I tried upgrading cups, cups-bsd, cups-client to 1.5.2-6 (currently in unstable), but no joy. If I downgrade to the previously working version: # cd /var/cache/apt/archives/ # dpkg -i cups_1.5.0-13_i386.deb cups-bsd_1.5.0-13_i386.deb cups-client_1.5.0-13_i386.deb cups-common_1.5.0-13_all.deb libcupsdriver1_1.5.0-13_i386.deb cups-ppdc_1.5.0-13_i386.deb libcups2_1.5.0-13_i386.deb libcupscgi1_1.5.0-13_i386.deb libcupsimage2_1.5.0-13_i386.deb libcupsmime1_1.5.0-13_i386.deb libcupsppdc1_1.5.0-13_i386.deb # dpkg --purge cups-filters libcupsfilters1 # dpkg --configure --pending # dpkg-reconfigure cups (enable raw and add parallel backend, that somehow got disabled) I am again able to print text files and PDF files. I have just pinned packages cups-common cups cups-ppdc libcups2 libcupscgi1 libcupsdriver1 libcupsimage2 libcupsmime1 libcupsppdc1 to version 1.5.0-13, but I would of course like to use my printer with up-to-date cups packages! Please help me to figure out what went wrong!
