Public bug reported: Binary package hint: cups
When printing from Mac OS X onto a CUPS server under Kubuntu, the print quality is very degraded. The result looks like an artisanal black and white rasterization. In /var/log/cups/error.log, one can read: W [23/Jan/2010:13:18:50 +0100] [Job 104] Gutenprint detected a bad color depth (1). Output quality is degraded. Are you using psnup or non-ADSC PostScript? The problem appeared right after a recend packages upgrade (sorry, I don't remind exactly which packages have been upgraded at that time). Versions: ------------ Mac OS X 10.5.8 (9L31a) Ubuntu Karmic Koala 9.10 cups 1.4.1-5ubuntu2.1 cups-driver-gutenprint 5.2.4-0ubuntu2 libgutenprint2 5.2.4-0ubuntu2 printer StylusDX-7000F printer driver Epson Stylus DX7000F - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.4 Expected: normal printout as usual Happened instead: black and white spots There are other reports of the same problem on the Web, like http://linux.org.ua/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?num=1236990937 (in Ukranian, but the pictures there are showing the problem quite well).
