Bug 114191

Reported upstream.

Could you put 'debug: 1' into /etc/foomatic/filter.conf and try again,
then check the /tmp/foomatic-rip.ps file?  Perhaps foomatic is
mangling the PageSize.

It's not foomatic.  I printed a test with a different paper size to
the ljet4 driver, which worked.  Then I switched to the hpijs driver
and it failed.  Then I switched back to the ljet4 driver *and printed
/tmp/foomatic-rip.ps from when I printed to the hpijs driver*, and
that file printed with the correct paper size.  So clearly when the
data gets to /tmp/foomatic-rip.ps it is still valid; I'm pretty
certain it's the hpijs driver which isn't handling paper sizes properly.

And I say that as the person who wrote the paper-size-handling code in
the ljet driver :-).

The upstream maintainer says that there is a known bug in PCL
generation for envelope sizes: it uses custom paper size instead of
unique envelope size.  Although it works fine for inkjets the
LaserJets don't like it.

Will be fixed in the next release apparently.

I'm not sure, if it's the same bug, but I have similar problem with
printing A4 page. Printing stops at 260 mm (A4 page is approx. 300
mm). I have HP DeskJet 5550, and I'm using hpijs driver as well.

I too get this problem on my HP Deskjet 1280 with A4 paper.
The print gets chopped at something like US Letter size (length).
Width seems ok.

Using Fedora Core 3, completely up to date as of 3/12/2005.
So it's been nearly a couple of years and this one is still hanging around
(if it is the same bug, that is.)

Got cups-1.1.22-0.rc1.8.7
and hpijs-1.6-2

I also tried lying about the paper sizes in the .ppd file to no avail.
And I downloaded the latest .ppd too.

Correction, the incorrect size is somewhere between A4 and Letter size.

Also, when I build the latest HPLIP package 0.9.7, presumably that replaces the
hpijs-1.6.2 driver doesn't it. Well, the sizing problem is still there.

It is also there in Core 4 too.

BTW: The ppd file *is* set up to do A4, not Letter size!

Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported
against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no
longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are
flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer
maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now,
we will automatically close it.

rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change
the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version
or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.)

Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled
these issues to this point.
