[Bug 977457] Re: hplip in Ubuntu 12.04 beta 2, HP color laserjet 3600 prints wrong colors
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 777670 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/777670 Hiho, I can confirm #13 regarding to the quality-settings. By using the testpage-function of CUPSthe colors appear as follows: cyan - pink (like magenta but lighter and/or with less saturation) magenta → brown yellow → white black → black red → green (only a little bit lighter than the correct green) green → only the thin bounding circle (but in cyan) blue → dark blue, near to dark purple the circle with 10 grayscale pieces → only a half circle with 5 gray pieces (the lightest one is lighter than the lightest one of the correct circle and the bounding circle is also missing) I have also tested the normal quality option with the “hp- color_laserjet_3600.ppd” file of the hplip-3.12.4.tar.gz from the hplip project on sourceforge.net by using CUPS-function to specify a ppd file manually (thus, still using hplip 3.12.2 of the ubuntu 12.04 packages). This leads to the same behaviour (normal quality provides a faulty result, best quality provides a good result). I also printed the test page as a pdf and compared an Ubuntu-best- Printout with a Windows-standard-Printout and could not see any differences in saturation excepting a tiny little bit darker black-level on the ubuntu-printout. For this reason I think that there won’t be a big waste of toner by using best quality setting. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/977457 Title: hplip in Ubuntu 12.04 beta 2, HP color laserjet 3600 prints wrong colors To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/977457/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi all, i solved the issue by selecting manually the PPD file during the installation of the driver. By default it selects the hpijs, which is deprecated. When prompted with the PPD file to use you have to navigate to the hplip driver folder and select the right PPD file (hp-color_laserjet_3600.ppd). After that, maker sure that printing quality is always set at BEST. I know, a waste of toner, but otherwise will not work. Hope this makes sense and that it gets fixed in future hplip versions. Not acceptable to get a deprecated PPD file as default selection. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/977457 Title: hplip in Ubuntu 12.04 beta 2, HP color laserjet 3600 prints wrong colors To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/977457/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 977457] Re: hplip in Ubuntu 12.04 beta 2, HP color laserjet 3600 prints wrong colors
Just a heads up. (I am unsure if this deserves a separate new bug report). Last night I updated from Ubuntu 11.10 to 12.04 LTS. I have the same issue as the original poster. Just to reiterate: 1. This printer (The HP Laserjet 3600n) was working normally in Ubuntu 11.10, although I don't remember which driver it had chosen. 2. Upon update to 12.04, all print jobs would print 2 pages. The first was empty, the second contained this error in the upper left: PCL XL error Subsystem: KERNEL Error: IllegalTag Operator: 0x45 Position: 7 3. Upon checking the driver (Right-click the printer, select properties, click Make and Model), it recommended to use the pxljr variety under HP Laserjet 3600. 4. Upon selecting one of the other options (either hplip or hpcups) under either the 3600 or 3600n variety, the colour is always incorrect, including the test page. Specifically: The C is printed in pink; the M is printed in brown; the R is printed in green; the 4th color circle (bottom right) is a pale blue outline of a circle with no contents; the K is black; the B is a different black with a bluish tint; and the final test mark is a series of 4 10% pie-pieces ranging from dark gray to medium-light gray. Printing an image that displays in medium blues on my screen comes out red/pink/purple/white. Please advise as to whether I should report a new bug.

Thanks for the logs You are using the hpijs drivers again which has certain issues with it and it is getting deprecated. Recommend you to use hpcups drivers. Please launch the terminal and go to the directory hplip-3.12.2 (source folder) and run configuration ./configure - -prefix=/usr - -libdir=/usr/lib This will configure and enable hpcups install. Next run make ; sudo make install Post us the output of hp-check -t command to check if it has configured hpcups correctly.

Hi Leo, If its not much of a trouble for you. Can you install hplip-3.12.2 package from its source. We have provided the steps to follow at http://localhost/web_html/install/manual/distros/ubuntu.html. After the install please delete the print queues for this printer in system-config-printer and setup the printer using command hp-setup -g and post its output here. If the issue is still the same we would request to provide us some log files to analyse this issue. Follow the below steps to get us the log files 1.Open the file /etc/cups/cupsd.conf in write permissions. $sudo gedit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf Change LogLevel warn to LogLevel debug and below that line add hpLogLevel 15. 2. Restart the cups $sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart 3. Empty the syslog file and error_log file. $ sudo cat /dev/null /var/log/syslog $ sudo cat /dev/null /var/log/cups/error_log 4. Print a test page. 5. Capture the syslog and error_log files $ sudo cat /var/log/messages ~/Desktop/syslog.txt $ sudo cat /var/log/cups/error_log ~/Desktop/error_log.txt Attach the files syslog.txt and error_log.txt 6. In /tmp folder you will find files with name starting with hpcups like, hpcupsfilterc_1.bmp, hpcupsfilterk_1. bmp, hpcups_jobX.out. Please attach these files too.
