[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1438494] Re: ghostscript fails to correctly substitute cidf fonts
Your file contains neither fonts nor CIDFonts, it is simply one big image. Whilst it is common practice for scanner produced PDF to use OCR to overlay the scanned image with non-marking characters (obviously, being non-marking, the actual font used does not really matter), this file does not do so. I'd guess that's because either the OCR function was disabled, or it simply could not recognise the handwritten characters.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1476705] Re: postscript printer hideously slow in some cases (pdftops)
Bruno, To be honest, I don't know what differs between the two tools, as they both come from Cairo, I assumed that pdftops was just a small wrapper around the same code as pdftocairo but with the options pre-set for PS output. I'm a Ghostscript developer, so I can't really answer specifics about Cairo - I know about the problems with the Cairo PDF output, as we've performance problems in Ghostscript with those, and have had some fairly lengthy (and heated) discussions with Cairo developers on the subject. And I have helped debug a lot of these problems with the Ghostscript output, so I can give general suggestions as I did above. If I had to guess, I would say that pdftocairo is possibly spotting that the PDF originated as a Cairo file, and is using inside knowledge of how those are constructed to convert it back into Cairo internal representation, which is then outputs to Postscript - with that level of extra information, it can probably be much, much smarter about when there is real transparency that it has to render, and when everything opaque, and remain in high level form. Whilst, pstops may be doing a simpler, one step PDF to Postscript conversion. Ideally, what you'd want to try is (if possible) to keep the ProRes (I thought it was ImageRET) mode, but still tell pdftocairo to use 600 dpi, as you then may get the benefits of more the accurate dot placement, better halftone results, and possibly better color management, whilst keeping the quicker processing of the smaller image data. It's hard to know without deep inside knowledge, but (again) if I had to guess, I would suggest that the slightly lower quality halftone screen is what's causing the slight intensity shift you mention. HP are pretty tight lipped about these technologies, but I know other such systems tend to allow the halftoning to represent more shades of the color, without losing detail (generally there is a trade off: you can approximate lots of shades, but lose detail, or have great detail, but very few shades).

It happens with some PDF files (not all) and Firefox printing of Google map, for example. When this happens, I observed in system monitor that pdftops is running continuously. After some manual PDF - PS conversions, I see that pdftops inflates the file size for problematic cases, but is ok for other files (size similar to the original file, or even smaller). I don't know if modern Postscript printers can handle this quickly, but it's unacceptable here and certainly not an efficient way to print those files. So I suspect that pdftops should be fixed. For example, I join a problematic pdf produced by Google Map in Firefox. I tried many conversions. As you can see, I get a much larger file (36 times) with pdftops. It is worse with pdf2ps (and it takes longer to process), so replace pdftops by pdf2ps is not an option for me. However, pdftocairo quickly produces an efficient file. I have the same success if I open the PDF file with Evince and print it as a Postscript file. I get a similar file if I print to PS directly from Google Map (Firefox). Of course these small PS files produced by pdftocairo, Evince of Firefox print flawlessly on my printer. See also Bug # 1095498 which I suspect is the same (old) thing, but I fill a new one since it doesn't seem to be printer specific.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1476705] Re: postscript printer hideously slow in some cases (pdftops)
The problem, I suspect, is the way Cairo rights PDF files (the gmap.pdf file you attached above was created by Cairo). The Cairo *always* writes the page contents into one or more PDF transparency groups - even when all the contents are really opaque. The issue is that, due to the way PDF works (and PDF transparency in particular) the only way to be sure that all the page contents are opaque would be to pre-process each page, checking for non-opaque content, and then re-interpret the page using the information gleaned in the first pass - which would, frankly, result in an unacceptable performance drop for the vast majority of PDF files. Most interpreters I know will pre-scan the quickly accessible elements of a PDF page, and if no transparency constructs are found, will then elide the extra processing transparency requires. Unfortunately, those easily accessible elements don't contain (or, at least, don't reliably contain) the actual opacity information. So, in most cases I know, just the existence of the transparency constructs means that extra processing is enabled, regardless of the actual opacity values. Now, secondly, Postscript cannot represent PDF transparency in high level (vector etc) operations. So, the only way to get a visually accurate representation of a PDF containing transparency in Postscript is to flatten the transparency by rendering it to a sampled image - and clearly, sampled images end up being larger than vector graphics. Hence we have the result that basically every Cairo produced PDF will convert to Postscript as one or more sampled images per page. And that explains why the Postscript is so much larger than the PDF. Now, looking at the Postscript file you posted, it *appears* that the rendering for transparency flattening is being done at 1200dpi which is, frankly, ridiculous for a couple of reasons. First is, your printer has a maximum physical resolution of 600dpi (the ImageRET modes provide enhanced quality, claimed to be equivalent to 2400 and, IIRC, 3600 dpi, but the printer is still a 600 dpi printer). Secondly, our experience with Ghostscript's Postscript output, is that many printers are much, *much* faster at upsampling images than downsampling. So, my first suggestion would be to poke around the CUPS dialogues and/or the PPD, and see if you can drop the claimed resolution of the printer to at most 600dpi and, frankly, I'd even try 300 dpi. As a rule of thumb, in the printing world, it's generally claimed that dropping continuous tone, sampled image resolution by 50% from the physical resolution results in almost no visible loss of quality. Where that falls down, in cases like this, is because there is text involved, and the small details inherent in text shapes may well suffer visibly. Another thing we've found with the Postscript output from Ghostscript is that many printers are very, very slow at decompressing data, so if you can find an option to avoid compressing image data, that *might* make a difference - but that is highly printer dependent. I'd like to take this opportunity to rant (again): this kind of thing is the reason that PDF is such poor, poor choice as a print spool format. PDF has a *hugely* rich imaging model, *far* more so than Postscript, PCL5/PXL or any of the proprietary page description languages (PDL), which means for almost any low/midrange PDL based printer, there is a very high chance that the PDF content cannot be converted to a high level, vector representation, and must be rendered and sent as sampled images (bitmaps). Perhaps a PDF/A or PDF/X variant would be a better choice.. And I'm sure someone will point out that more and more printers are supporting direct PDF printing, but that really just moves the bottleneck: PDF transparency is (over!) complex, and is extremely processor and memory intensive. So a low/mid range printer, with limited memory and processing power, is going to struggle to print a file like these ones. In truth, many such PDF printers get around this by either not supporting transparency at all, or supporting only relatively trivial subset of the full PDF transparency model. Also, with more and more applications integrating Cairo to do their PDF output, with the transparency problems outlined above, the situation is only set to get worse. /rant Anyway, as I said, look into adjusting the resolution, and possibly compression settings, and let us know how you fare. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to poppler in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1476705 Title: postscript printer hideously slow in some cases (pdftops) Status in poppler package in Ubuntu: New Status in system-config-printer package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: With my (old) postscript printer, print a single page can take many minutes on some situations.

Two things: 1) I *really* don't understand why Ghostscript configuration file are being installed by poppler. It would be worth finding out how (and even if) poppler actually uses them, because I rather feel poppler and Ghostscript configurations *should* be separate. For example, if I get time, I'll probably be tweaking the capabilities of cidfmap at some point, which could, potentially, break poppler's use of these files. 2) the question of whether poppler will fall back to some other substitute CIDFont is moot since, if poppler *does* use those configuration files, it won't (normally) find the font files they reference anyway. So even if poppler does use them, splitting them off into a separate package and fixing the dependencies will work better for poppler, too. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to poppler-data in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1438494 Title: ghostscript fails to correctly substitute cidf fonts Status in poppler-data package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: I reported this bug first with ghostscript (http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=695874), but it is apparently a packaging issue.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1438494] Re: ghostscript fails to correctly substitute cidf fonts
Apologies, Till, for the delayed reply - I *thought* replying on a bug also subscribed me to it, but clearly not! (I have subscribed now). There is a bit of guess work here, as I don't fully understand the file locations. We are mainly concerned with the cidfmap file. Now, there is a set of cidfmap files in /etc/ghostscript/cidfmap.d/ and those (it appears) are used by the /usr/sbin/update-gsfontmap script (poor name, as it adds to the confusion that Fonts and CIDFonts are the same thing!), to update the *actual* cidfmap which is in /var/lib/ghostscript/fonts/cidfmap. It is not at all clear to me how the update-gsfontmap script gets run - possibly only as a package post-install step? The files in /etc/ghostscript/cidfmap.d/ are as follows (file name + TTF font(s) referenced): 90gs-cjk-resource-cns1.conf - ukai.ttc, uming.ttc 90gs-cjk-resource-gb1.conf - ukai.ttc, uming.ttc 90gs-cjk-resource-japan1.conf - fonts-japanese-mincho.ttf, fonts-japanese-gothic.ttf 90gs-cjk-resource-japan2.conf - ttf-japanese-mincho.ttf, ttf-japanese-gothic.ttf 90gs-cjk-resource-korea1.conf - NanumMyeongjo.ttf, NanumBarunGothic.ttf, NanumBarunGothicBold.ttf, NanumGothic.ttf NOTE: there is some inconsistency (possibly bitrot) there with fonts- japanese-*.ttf used in one file and ttf-japanese-*.ttf used in another - clearly the same font, but likely different generations of name. My two alternate solutions are that the Ghostscript package should be augmented to include the fonts listed above (with the names and paths updated to reflect the current directory tree etc) as dependencies, thus they always get installed with Ghostscript. *Or* to split off (I *think*) the files in /etc/ghostscript/cidfmap.d/ into something like a ghostscript-cjk-cidfonts package, which has those fonts listed above as dependencies (again with names and paths revised for a modern system). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ghostscript in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1438494 Title: ghostscript fails to correctly substitute cidf fonts Status in ghostscript package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I reported this bug first with ghostscript (http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=695874), but it is apparently a packaging issue.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1438494] Re: ghostscript fails to correctly substitute cidf fonts
The root problem here is that the Ubuntu package contains cidfmap mappings that provide substitutions for various CIDFonts that may not be embedded in incoming files. But the Ghostscript package does not depend on the package(s) containing those font files, so those font files are often not available. Historically, Ghostscript has assumed that such system level configuration was correct, and did minimal error checking on them, thus by the time Ghostscript realises the font files are not available, it is too late to recover gracefully, and we have to error out. The most recent Ghostscript releases are more rigorous in that area, and should cope better. Nevertheless, it would be preferable if the fonts references in the mappings were made dependencies of the Ghostscipt package. *Or* remove those mappings altogether, as they are much less relevant since we now have a built-in CIDFont substitution in Ghostscript, using DroidSansFallback.ttf. A final suggestion would be to remove the mappings from the default Ghostscript package, and rely on the DroidSansFallback.ttf substitution, and move the existing mappings to a separate package which holds the mapping configuration, and depends on the packages containing the relevant font files. I feel the last suggestion would be the most desirable, since the DroidSansFallback.ttf substitution will work work just fine for the vast majority of people, who don't need to be forced to install a load of KANJI fonts, but allows the flexibility for those who genuinely need more accurate CIDFont substitution than simply falling back to DroidSansFallback.ttf. Finally, the generic mappings such as Adobe-Identity and Adobe- Japan1 should be removed altogether as, except in very rare circumstances, those should all fall through to the DroidSansFallback.ttf substitution. I can provide a complete list of those generic mappings if required.

As the file you have is PDF, you should be trying: lpr -P printer -o psdebug file.pdf or lp -d printer -o psdebug file.pdf If that works, let us know. If not, you need to follow the instructions starting here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems#Getting_the_data_which_would_go_to_the_printer And then that should give you a Poscript file which, hopefully you can then use the instructions to send unfiltered to the printer. If the printer does not print, then attach that Postscript file here, and we can hopefully start the (usually lengthy!) process of debugging it. OTOH, if sending the file unfiltered works (unlikely!) , tell us that, too. Finally, once you've done all that, as a workaround, you can do: lpadmin -p printer -o pdftops-renderer-default=pdftops and try printing.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 978120] Re: Toshiba Estudio 230 printer driver bug
Okay, so it's clear that the Toshiba has an issue with how we handle TrueType/Type42 fonts - I know I'm repeating myself, but the Postscript is *totally* correct, many other interpreters from many source handle it happily, and both myself and another engineer with a great deal of Postscript experience have carefully reviewed it, found nothing incorrect (although, we both agree it is not how we would have written it!). So, again, I would urge you (Tomas) to contact Toshiba and report this as a bug - their interpreter is failing to interpret valid and logically correct Postscript. Anyway, back to our immediate concern. The issue can be worked around by adding the following to the Ghostscript command line (when called from CUPs): -dHaveTrueTypes=false -c /MaxFontItem 50 setuserparams -f input file What we have is the HaveTrueTypes setting which tells ps2write whether it should emit TrueType/Type42 fonts. Setting it to false means we convert the TTF outlines into bitmaps. This can happen in two ways: the bitmaps can be used to create a Type 3 Postscript font (this is preferred as it results in smaller file size, executes quicker on the target and often results in better quality output), or they are just normal image data in the PS. The choice between the two approaches is dictated by the value of MaxFontItem - any glyph larger than MaxFontItem will end up as normal image data, rather than in a Type 3 font. Hence, I included code to set the value of MaxFontItem quite high, meaning we'll use the Type 3 font approach as often as is reasonable - but I'm wary about setting it too high, as I don't want to trigger resource problems on the target printers. Till, this definitely should only apply to Toshiba printers (maybe just the Estudio range), and ideally, it would be good to set the resolution for Ghostscript to that of the target printer, or an integer division thereof: i.e. if the printer is 600dpi, you could reasonably set the resolution to 300dpi. It would preferable to avoid scaling by a non- integer value from both a performance and quality point of view. Any questions, just ask..

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1263415] Re: Kyocera FS-1100D cannot print Google Maps - limitcheck --image--
Sorry, I haven't spoken, read or written German since I was at school! But Google translate did a good enough job to get the idea of what they said and, frankly, I strongly disagree with what they say. What they have written implies that they have not actually analysed the Postscript you have sent, they have simply looked at the error message, and replied based on that. Valid Postscript adheres to a standard (written and published by Adobe), and whilst various companies have their own additional customisations, the core language must adhere to the standard or it is not valid Postscript. I have access to six different Postscript implementations: Adobe Distiller, Global Graphics Harlequin, Global Graphics JaWS, a Postscript implementation also from Kyocera(!!), Ghostscript (of course!), and with sufficient prior arrangement, Adobe CPSI. All the above run your file to completion without errors or warnings (including the Kyocera one). In addition, I've looked fairly carefully at the Postscript myself, and I see no problems with it. Based on the above, the Opera Postscript output is valid, correct Postscript, and the bug is with the printer. FWIW, I am quite happy for you to quote me on that, or even to follow up with Kyocera Germany on your behalf (assuming they can accept e-mails in English!). There is almost no point trying to compare the Postscript produced by different applications - Postscript is a turing complete programming language, as well as page description language, there are, therefore, an almost infinite number of totally different ways a given page can be represented. It's *highly* unlikely you (or anyone) will be able to look at the two sets of output, and pin-point the cause of the problem. The only way to narrow down the problem is, as I described before, for someone like me to hand edit the Postscript, progressively cutting it down, and possibly instrumenting it, so that you can try the each iteration on your printer, until we reach the one thing (or set of things) that causes the problem. It is a laborious process, that takes time, paper and toner, but it really is the only option. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to cups in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1263415 Title: Kyocera FS-1100D cannot print Google Maps - limitcheck --image-- Status in “cups” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I'm trying to print a simple page from Google Maps (including the big map provided) - but I have this problem with a couple more files here as well.

If I am correct, and (like the cases we've hacked around with the Ghostscript output) the Postscript is perfectly valid and correct, you may find that the Opera developers aren't willing to change that perfectly valid Postscript output to work around a bug in a printer.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 998087] Re: printer ERROR: invalidaccess OFFENDING COMMAND: filter
PDFs are vector format (with the option embed raster graphics images in them) so they don't have an inherent resolution. It's more likely that a light PDF doesn't have images, or other advanced PDF features, that need converted into something else (PDF supports features that Postscript does not). Or possibly the lighter PDF doesn't embed fonts, or doesn't embed as many or as large fonts.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1263415] Re: Kyocera FS-1100D cannot print Google Maps - limitcheck --image--
Again, that all points to the bug being in the printer. The fact you can convert the PS to PDF is a strong indication that the PS is correct (as per the PS specification). Don't forget that both PDF and PS are vector formats, so have nearly infinite variations in how to produce (near) identical output. In addition, PS is a Turing complete programming language, which adds another almost infinite range of possibilities! One thought springs to mind: does Opera allow you to change the Postscript printing settings? For example, does it allow you to select Language Level 2 instead of Language Level 3? Doing that might avoid the problem area for the printer. If it's helpful, I could help to narrow down the exact cause of the error, that might help a report to Kyocera, the Opera people produce a workaround, or maybe even find a workaround in cups. But a) that will need help, patience and paper from you (kniffte), and b) will have to wait until after the 6th Jan when I'm actually back at my desk (officially, I'm currently on vacation). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to cups in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1263415 Title: Kyocera FS-1100D cannot print Google Maps - limitcheck --image-- Status in “cups” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I'm trying to print a simple page from Google Maps (including the big map provided) - but I have this problem with a couple more files here as well.

Frank, We've made changes to address problems with Konica-Minolta printers, but you may have found another problem. We know how to track these problems down, but they take a lot of time and effort (and paper!) on the part of the users as well as us, and so far, no one has seemed willing to see the process through to a conclusion.

I should add that the previous bug was with without UseCIEColor pdfwrite could not access/create device independent colours, hence was emitting a PDF with device dependent colours despite the UseDeviceIndependentColor setting. The reason UseCIEColor has to be set explicitly, and can't be done as part of the /printer PDFSETTINGS is that the PDFSETTINGS is a parameter (or set of parameters) for the pdfwrite device, whilst UseCIEColor is an interpreter parameter. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ghostscript in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1218350 Title: stackunderflow in .setdistillerparams Status in “ghostscript” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The following command was working until yesterday`s update to Ghostscript 9.10~dfsg~rc1-0ubuntu2 on Saucy. $ gs -q -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=debug.pdf -dSubsetFonts=true -dPDFSETTINGS=/printer a.pdf b.pdf Now it reports the following error: GPL Ghostscript RELEASE CANDIDATE 1 9.10: Set UseCIEColor for UseDeviceIndependentColor to work properly.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1049635] Re: Cannot print a PDF on Kyocera Laser Printer
Well, I think it's fair to say that if Kyocera's very own driver does not/cannot produce PS that the printer can interpret, it's not unreasonable that we don't. I'm not saying if there were a reasonable way for us to workaround the problem that we wouldn't, on that basis - but frankly, none of us can see a way to do that without taking ps2write away from it's intended purpose, which is to output as accurate a representation of the input as possible, within the limitations of the imaging models and the Ghostscript internals. I guess it's something to Till to consider, and discuss with the other cups devs: should there be a Print As Image option in cups? That option is in all the Windows Postscript drivers which I have access to, right now, so I have to assume it is included for a reason - and the only reason I can think of is cases like this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to cups in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1049635 Title: Cannot print a PDF on Kyocera Laser Printer Status in GS-GPL - GPL Ghostscript: New Status in “cups” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “ghostscript” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I am trying to print http://www.kochzauber.de/resources/pdf/beispielrezepte.pdf however my printout contains the following: ERROR: limitcheck OFFENDING COMMAND: clip STACK: -mark- -mark- -mark- ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 Package: ghostscript 9.06~dfsg-0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.5.0-14.16-generic 3.5.3 Uname: Linux 3.5.0-14-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.5.1-0ubuntu7 Architecture: amd64 Date: Wed Sep 12 13:56:41 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Precise Pangolin - Beta amd64 (20120331) Lpstat: p11-kit: duplicate configured module: gnome-keyring.module: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkcs11/gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so device for Canon-MP280-series: usb://Canon/MP280%20series?serial=71DACCinterface=1 device for Generic-PCL-6-PCL-XL: socket://192.168.178.3:9100 device for Kyocera-Mita-FS-1350DN-KPDL: ipp://laser:631/ipp MachineType: LENOVO 6474A46 Papersize: a4 PccardctlIdent: Socket 0: no product info available PccardctlStatus: Socket 0: no card PpdFiles: Canon-MP280-series: Canon PIXMA MP280 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.9 Generic-PCL-6-PCL-XL: Generic PCL 6/PCL XL Printer Foomatic/pxlcolor (recommended) Kyocera-Mita-FS-1350DN-KPDL: Kyocera FS-1350DN (KPDL) ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.5.0-14-generic root=UUID=b32d85c9-d1fb-49ca-8c94-c64d321221b3 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 SourcePackage: ghostscript UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to quantal on 2012-08-02 (40 days ago) dmi.bios.date: 04/19/2010 dmi.bios.vendor: LENOVO dmi.bios.version: 7UET86WW (3.16 ) dmi.board.name: 6474A46 dmi.board.vendor: LENOVO dmi.board.version: Not Available dmi.chassis.asset.tag: No Asset Information dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: LENOVO dmi.chassis.version: Not Available dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnLENOVO:bvr7UET86WW(3.16):bd04/19/2010:svnLENOVO:pn6474A46:pvrThinkPadT400:rvnLENOVO:rn6474A46:rvrNotAvailable:cvnLENOVO:ct10:cvrNotAvailable: dmi.product.name: 6474A46 dmi.product.version: ThinkPad T400 dmi.sys.vendor: LENOVO To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gs-gpl/+bug/1049635/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

I've attached the result of printing the first page from Acrobat, through the KPDL Windows driver. It looks similar to the poppler output (it builds the clipping path using charpath operations). The Kyocera driver does, indeed, include a Print As Image option - although it comes out grayscale, for some reason.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1049635] Re: Cannot print a PDF on Kyocera Laser Printer
I can't see any way to reproduce the page description accurately without running into the same problem. IIRC, some Windows Postscript drivers have the option to produce the page as an image, which I believe is intended to work around this type of issue. Thus reducing the PDL complexity, for such limited printers, at expense of comms traffic. I'm intrigued by Till's results with the HP because, as I stated above, the path(s) in question, whether they are explicitly described in the PS, or result from character outlines are equivalent in complexity at the time the printer executes the clip operator. I would expect it to always be slow, because making marks through such a hugely complex clipping path is a very time consuming operation.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1049635] Re: Cannot print a PDF on Kyocera Laser Printer
Okay, so we think we know the source of the problem. All the text in the PDF is drawn with text rendering mode 7, which means add to clip. So drawing the text accumulates an enormous path, which is then use to clip. Hence the limitcheck error on clip. Now the Ghostscript ps2write output (for some architectural reasons) simply emits the accumulated path, and drops the fonts from the output. The poppler output retains the fonts, and uses the Postscript charpath operator to create the path which it then uses to clip. So, the question is: does the poppler output work? There really should be no difference in the complexity of the path that Ghostscript emits explicitly, and the one that poppler creates via charpath, by the time the clip operator gets called. There is a small chance that Ghostscript could be changed to also emit the fonts and use charpath for this class of file, but it would be a lot of work, and rather pointless if it still won't work. It's possible that the answer is simply: the Postscript resulting from that PDF is simply too complicated for your printer to handle. So, in conclusion, can we test the poppler output? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to cups in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1049635 Title: Cannot print a PDF on Kyocera Laser Printer Status in GS-GPL - GPL Ghostscript: New Status in “cups” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “ghostscript” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I am trying to print http://www.kochzauber.de/resources/pdf/beispielrezepte.pdf however my printout contains the following: ERROR: limitcheck OFFENDING COMMAND: clip STACK: -mark- -mark- -mark- ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 Package: ghostscript 9.06~dfsg-0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.5.0-14.16-generic 3.5.3 Uname: Linux 3.5.0-14-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.5.1-0ubuntu7 Architecture: amd64 Date: Wed Sep 12 13:56:41 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Precise Pangolin - Beta amd64 (20120331) Lpstat: p11-kit: duplicate configured module: gnome-keyring.module: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkcs11/gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so device for Canon-MP280-series: usb://Canon/MP280%20series?serial=71DACCinterface=1 device for Generic-PCL-6-PCL-XL: socket://192.168.178.3:9100 device for Kyocera-Mita-FS-1350DN-KPDL: ipp://laser:631/ipp MachineType: LENOVO 6474A46 Papersize: a4 PccardctlIdent: Socket 0: no product info available PccardctlStatus: Socket 0: no card PpdFiles: Canon-MP280-series: Canon PIXMA MP280 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.9 Generic-PCL-6-PCL-XL: Generic PCL 6/PCL XL Printer Foomatic/pxlcolor (recommended) Kyocera-Mita-FS-1350DN-KPDL: Kyocera FS-1350DN (KPDL) ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.5.0-14-generic root=UUID=b32d85c9-d1fb-49ca-8c94-c64d321221b3 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 SourcePackage: ghostscript UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to quantal on 2012-08-02 (40 days ago) dmi.bios.date: 04/19/2010 dmi.bios.vendor: LENOVO dmi.bios.version: 7UET86WW (3.16 ) dmi.board.name: 6474A46 dmi.board.vendor: LENOVO dmi.board.version: Not Available dmi.chassis.asset.tag: No Asset Information dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: LENOVO dmi.chassis.version: Not Available dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnLENOVO:bvr7UET86WW(3.16):bd04/19/2010:svnLENOVO:pn6474A46:pvrThinkPadT400:rvnLENOVO:rn6474A46:rvrNotAvailable:cvnLENOVO:ct10:cvrNotAvailable: dmi.product.name: 6474A46 dmi.product.version: ThinkPad T400 dmi.sys.vendor: LENOVO To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gs-gpl/+bug/1049635/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1049635] Re: Cannot print a PDF on Kyocera Laser Printer
Frankly, that's what I feared. The Adobe produced Postscript can be made to resemble either the Ghostscript output or the poppler output (depending on the settings used in Acrobat), and it looks to me as though this is simply a case where the (mostly minor) differences in the imaging capabilities of PDF and Postscript result in a Postscript file with a very long path. In such cases, limited resource printers are going to struggle.
