Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1149244 +++

Bug 1010580 killed FINAL_CONTENT_TYPE and forced every CUPS backend into raw mode. The patch added by that bug is horribly wrong and needs to be dropped ASAP.

The original bug is something else with CUPS re-running a filter even though the data is already in the desired format. Possibly a bug in the relevant PPD.

The Fedora version of this bug is now fixed, so will RHEL be updated right away as well?

If Fedora changes went immediately into Red Hat Enterprise Linux, it would be Fedora. :-)

This change is pretty well understood, so it shouldn't take too long.

Can I download and test this somehow? I can't see any testing or QA channel available.

I've put some test packages here:
  http://people.redhat.com/twaugh/tmp/cups/1149245/

Looks good:

> D [28/Oct/2014:16:20:46 +0100] [Job 20] envp[22]="CONTENT_TYPE=application/pdf"
> D [28/Oct/2014:16:20:46 +0100] [Job 20] envp[29]="FINAL_CONTENT_TYPE=application/pdf"

> D [28/Oct/2014:16:26:55 +0100] [Job 21] envp[22]="CONTENT_TYPE=text/plain"
> D [28/Oct/2014:16:26:55 +0100] [Job 21] envp[29]="FINAL_CONTENT_TYPE=application/pdf"

Great, thanks for testing it out.
