[Bug 960666] Re: 12.04 Beta 1 : Brother MFC8680DN does not print image from .pdf file
Bruce, That gives you two files you can go to Brother with, and Vincent can reproduce the compressed-image-test.ps problem, so Brother will get a report about that. The "a_line_of_text.ps" test result is odd: the error message you've got there *looks* like bytes from an encoded stream - but there are no encoded streams in that file. Anyway, if you report your error to Brother, you can mention others have seen problems wit that file that we tracked down to the "currenthalftone" I mentioned above, so may be related. I'll try to revisit the compressed-image-test.ps example over the weekend, and see if there's some subtlety of your original file I missed. The problem is, as I said above, these kinds of problems can be dependant on where in the data stream buffer limits land, and so can be difficult reproduce in simple test cases. If the worst comes to the worst, I'll create a PS file from your original in post #3, and Brother will just have to deal the extra complexity.

I've done three tests, based on the investigations we've done: 1) http://www.ghostscript.com/~chrisl/brother/a_line_of_text.ps This test *should* print "A line of text" at the bottom left of the page, but instead simply ejects a blank page, apparently with no error indicated.

The image I hope will work is uncompressed, whilst the image that I hope induces the error is LZW compressed. Now, as for reporting this to Brother, as I said above, I feel the wording should be along the lines of "we believe, and have considerable evidence supporting the belief, that these are valid Postscript Language Level 2 files, and therefore, should be interpreted successfully by any Postscript Language Level 3 (or Level 2) interpreter. The Bother Poscript interpreter fails ". My inclination is to say there is no need to mention that, from your (the user's) point of view, printing worked in earlier versions of Ubuntu nor, in fact, is there any reason to mention the operating system at all. *Where* the jobs came from is irrelevant, the only relevant informatation is that we are confident these jobs are valid Postscript, and their Postscript implementation fails to interpret them. If those who are interested could try each of thoses tests, and make sure they fail in the expected manner (my only concern is that, in simplifying the tests, I've inadvertantly changed something that will make them work). Once we have confirmed that these files fail as expected, I will attach them to this bug, to ensure that they don't get accidentally deleted from my user area on the server.

[Bug 960666] Re: 12.04 Beta 1 : Brother MFC8680DN does not print image from .pdf file
Bruce, Thanks for the confirmation. As far as reporting to Brother is concerned, there is no need to mention that it worked printing from Ubuntu 10.10. Basically, take one of the Postscript files that we established fail on the printer, and tell Brother you have a Postscript file that fails to work on their Postscript printer. Postscript is a specification, and if they claim to support it, then (short of running out of memory) their interpreter should accept any compliant Postscript job - like any digitial information communication format, both the producer and comsumer need to adhere to the spec, otherwise we can't rely on the communications to work. If you want to pursue this with Brother, you can contact me at cjl (at) spamcop dot net and we can sort out a test file for Brother and if you're not confident, I can help with the wording of a report - no need to clog up this bug tracker with it.

I would be happy to report this to Brother support, but would need a little help to be credible. I was running 10.10 before, and everything was fine.

Vincent, I'm very relieved to hear that your other files are working, too, thanks for trying them. On both these bugs, I have urged people to contact Brother technical support, and report these problems, but no one seems willing. I feel there is little point in myself or Till doing it, because Brother are only going to take a report from an owner of one of their products. In truth, it bothers me quite a lot: it seems like folks expect us (Ghostscript) to gracefully consume whatever gets thrown at us, but then also demand that we workaround/fix/patch for quirks, idiosynchracies and outright bugs in other people's Postscrpt implementations..

[Bug 960666] Re: 12.04 Beta 1 : Brother MFC8680DN does not print image from .pdf file
Hi! With cupsfilter 1.0.7, I still got garbled color images (it is in Debian). Adding "-dEncodeColorImages=false" fix this problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/960666 Title: 12.04 Beta 1 : Brother MFC8680DN does not print image from .pdf file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups-filters/+bug/960666/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

> Is this the definitive solution now? Should I release cups-filters 1.0.8? I just can't answer that. We're working around a bug in a version of the Brother Postscript implementation, with no access to the internals of the interpreter. My *best guess*, based on the testing we've done, is that there is some problem with the interaction of multiple compression filters in the same filter chain, so I'm suggesting we remove the opportunities for multiple compression filters to be used in the same chain - the only case remaining where this could happen is the color image case - hence adding "-dEncodeColorImages=false". (NOTE: this is separate from the CCITT Group 4 filter problem, which is definitely broken in it's own right.) However, without being able to debug the interpreter code, I can't say byond doubt that the above *is* the problem. And I certainly can't say that there aren't any more bugs in Brother's code. I assume we've missed the beta 2 deadline, so it might be worth holding off dong a cups-filters 1.0.8 for a day or so, in case we find a workaround for the HP issue.

I have already seen the bug report, as I am subscribed to the cups-filters package. Is this the definitive solution now? Should I release cups-filters 1.0.8?

Already e-mailed to Till, but I made a mistake above, and the command line options were: -dNoT3CCITT -dEncodeMonoImages=false -dEncodeColorImages=false So page and font streams get compressed, but Type 3 font bitmaps, mono images and color images don't get *additional* compression.

[Bug 960666] Re: 12.04 Beta 1 : Brother MFC8680DN does not print image from .pdf file
Bruce, Thanks, that's good (well, sort of!). It appears, and I am guessing here, that the printer has problems with certain conbinations of filter - in particular, it seems that it has trouble, either when multiple compression filters are chained, or multiple instances of the same filter are in the same chain. So, I think the solution/workaround is to add another option to the Ghostcript command line that cups uses for these printers - the file that worked was created with: -dCompressPages=false -dCompressFonts=false -dNoT3CCITT -dEncodeMonoImages=false -dEncodeColorImages=false Let me drop a mail to Till, and point him at this bug.

Chris, I sent them both using lpr -oraw, and they both printed just fine. I think this is equivalent to cat to the usb device. Let me know if I should do it that way.
