Bug#610928: Backward compatibility script needed for HP PPD upgrade
Package: hpijs-ppds Version: 3.10.6-1.1 On upgrade from Lenny to Squeeze a number of our printer queues stopped working with the following error logged: D [24/Jan/2011:08:54:10 +1030] [Job 449496] prnt/hpcups/HPCupsFilter.cpp 361: DEBUG: Bad PPD - hpPrinterLanguage not found D [24/Jan/2011:08:54:10 +1030] [Job 449496] prnt/backend/hp.c 839: ERROR: null print job total=0 The upgrade also reset the default paper size to weird values on a bunch of other HP printers. I found this info on the redhat bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=579355 I grabbed a copy of hpijs-3.10.9-1.fc12.x86_64.rpm, extracted the hpcups-update-ppds script and ran it. This fixed all the issues caused by the upgrade. Debian should have something like this for Squeeze.

The behaviour of the mod operator with negative numbers has been undefined at some points in time, and is something that a compiler might get wrong - I prefer to avoid applying the modulo function to a negative number at all, hence the longer version in my patch. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-printing-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Hmm, there was some work in this area recently upstream, but for HP printers. So I find this bug quite believable. :) Anyone can debug this; it shouldn't require an Epson printer.

It's run as /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstoraster; gutenprint itself is just the next stage in the pipeline (it just converts the raster image to the inkjet commands to actually print). gutenprint /may/ influence the options pstoraster/gs is passed; this would be from the printer options stored in the PPD for the printer queue, possibly overridden by the job options. You should see pstoraster etc. being executed in the error log, and you should see the options they are passed there as well. I'm afraid I no longer even have an inkjet printer, and so I do not actively use or develop gutenprint today (though I am doing uploads of point releases as they are made while I wait for someone to take over the maintenance). As a result, I'm afraid I can't do any actual testing or debugging to assist any longer. Is this still an issue with current squeeze/unstable versions of ghostscript/gutenprint?

That helps. If I understand correctly then
by = lasty % btile->size.y;
if (by < 0)
by += btile->size.y;
would be another way to convey the same thing.
The context is beyond my depth (and undercommented, I suppose).
wrap_shifted_cursor seems to do something complicated involving
tile_shift, so if I had to guess, the fix would be something like:
ptc->tile.shift = btile->shift;
by = lasty + btile->size.y;
if (by < 0)
by += btile->size.y;
bx = endx;
if (ptc->tile.shift) {
int quotient = lasty / btile->size.y;
if (lasty < 0)
quotient--;
bx += quotient * ptc->tile.shift;
}
bx %= tw;
if (bx < 0)
bx += tw;
What I had been hoping for was something like "lasty gets set using
this library call from CUPS, which used to return this out-of-range
but meaningful value but always returns nonnegative values now".
Oh, well.
Maybe it would make sense to do
if (by < 0)
... error out with a helpful message ...
I'm marking figuring this out as a wishlist bug for now.
Thanks again.
