Public bug reported: Binary package hint: system-config-printer-gnome
r...@kapowdk-ac:/usr/bin# lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 9.10 Release: 9.10 r...@kapowdk-ac:/usr/bin# apt-cache policy system-config-printer-gnome system-config-printer-gnome: Installed: 1.1.12+git20090826-0ubuntu8 Candidate: 1.1.12+git20090826-0ubuntu8 Version table: *** 1.1.12+git20090826-0ubuntu8 0 500 http://dk.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status I added a Xerox WorkCentre 7245 printer using system-config-printer. A little research revealed that you need to select the 7228 from the list in that case, which is a sister product (e.g. the printed Xerox manual has both numbers on the front page). The printer sort of worked, but it would print only the first page of everything, where I would expect it to print all pages. This was the case no matter which program I printed from (Firefox, OpenOffice, ...) As the Xerox is a PostScript printer, I installed another (HP) PostScript printer for comparison. It worked as expected. As installed, the /etc/cups/printers.conf has for the Xerox printer: Filter application/vnd.cups-raw 0 - Filter application/vnd.cups-postscript 100 foomatic-rip Filter application/vnd.cups-pdf 0 foomatic-rip Filter application/vnd.apple-pdf 25 foomatic-rip while the HP printer has: Filter application/vnd.cups-raw 0 - Filter application/vnd.cups-command 0 commandtops Filter application/vnd.cups-postscript 0 - (Special thanks to etckeeper for keeping record of these details!) As a test, I printed to a PostScript file, then sent it to the printer with "lpr -oraw file.ps". That worked. So now I have modified /etc/cups/printers.conf, using the HP printer's Filter lines also for the Xerox printer. This solves my problem, however the bug should be fixed for the benefit of the next guy with a Xerox WorkCentre 7228/7245.
