Public bug reported: Binary package hint: cupsys
Printing problem with an HP DeskJet 882c using foomatic/hpijs drivers, configured by KDE's printer configuration utility under kubuntu/dapper: The problem occurs while printing _some_ PDFs. Generally, if I print via the KDE printing system or by issuing "lp somefile.pdf" on the command line, the printer starts the first 2cm of the page, hangs for about 10-15 seconds, then feeds the page out and prints the first 2cm of the next page, and so on. However: if I print using gpdf, everything works fine, which leads me to believe that something in the PDF is hanging up CUPS, and gpdf is doing some processing that removes the problem. I have not been able to reproduce the problem with other file types. Printing plain text from KDE works fine, and if I print plain text to a PDF file, then print the PDF with lp, there is no problem. I would be happy to provide several examples of PDFs that cause this problem (the ones I can think of offhand are copyrighted, so I won't post them unless necessary) I have tried looking for error messages in the CUPS logs (even after bumping the loglevel up to debug), with no luck. I have also checked the spooled files for problems, and they seem to be ok.. I have seen one other instance of this happening in the forums: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1496773 ** Affects: cupsys (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- Only top 2cm of every page is printed for some PDF files https://launchpad.net/bugs/60346 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
