Hi, my report here applies for Ubuntu Jaunty with HP Laserjet 4050 over JetDirect (Network). I have the latest packages installed, as explained in this thread: dpkg -l cups cups 1.3.9-17ubuntu3.2 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - server dpkg -l poppler-utils poppler-utils 0.10.5-1ubuntu2.2 PDF utilitites (based on libpoppler)
Following problems: (1) When I print something, lets assume only text from openoffice, it gets printed fine, but a message appears on the printer's display: "40 EIO 1 FEHLERH UBERTRAGUNG" (I have german printer). I found Bug No 229981 that seems to be similar. (2) I printed the content of a website to .pdf (http://www.tagesschau.de/schlusslicht/ubahnphilosophie100.html) using the above mentioned versions of cups and poppler. The file is 900 kb large. Printing it from Evince generates a 9 MB print job which takes three minutes to print, but the font is being converted to bitmaps. So it looks awful (see attached scan). This also happened with an EasyJet travel itinerary. (no 40 EIO error) (3) I printed the content of the website directly to the 4050 printer, went much faster and the fonts are properly printed. (no 40 EIO error) I still feel that the whole printing thing needs some tweaking. I can not rely on my Ubuntu to print a scanned A4 page or a 80 page pdf document. However I can with WinXP. I hope this will be fixed. ** Attachment added: "pdf-printing.tif" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/28487053/pdf-printing.tif -- pdftops CUPS filter has several problems https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/382379 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
