correct driver, taken from FC1
This is the correct driver, that works fine, as selected with FC1
Created attachment 101028 [details]
this is the driver that is selected by FC2 when choosing HP Laserjet 4, and prints faded
So ljet4 worked, but hpijs doesn't. Can you please try changing the driver that FC2 uses (with the system-config-printer tool, if that's how you set up the printer in the first place) to ljet4, to verify that it produces the better result? Yes, ljet4.ppd is the right driver, and the one that works perfectly. The problem is that the "HP Laserjet 4" option in system-config-printer is wrongly pointing to hpijs: this is a FC2 error that wasn't there in FC1. I'm confused by you saying "ljet4.ppd" -- are you using system-config-printer to set up this queue, or another tool? Really I need to know if you are using the ghostscript built-in ljet4 driver, or something else. (Changing component to foomatic since that's where this information gets stored.) To reproduce the bug under FC2:
system-config-printer
"New" -> Forward
name: whatever
description: this is a hp laserjet 4 -> Forward
Locally connected - /dev/lp0 -> Forward
click on Generic (click to select manufacturer -> HP -> LaserJet 4 ->
Forward
Finish
"Apply"
then take a look at /etc/cups/ppd/whatever.ppd

"HPIJS.PPD" is Wrong! Should be "LJET4.PPD"
Thanks in advance,
Albert.
Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match. http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-LaserJet_4 shows that the hpijs driver is the recommended driver. If this information is wrong, please contact the linuxprinting folks to let them know. Thanks. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510 Description of problem: I have configured a hplaserjet4 with system-config-printer, and the test prints look fine. But when I try to print a pdf document, with gpdf, it is printed faded, with letters almost impossible to distinguish. The same document on the same printer looks perfect under Windows. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set up a hp laserjet 4 printer in system-config-printer 2. Print a pdf file using gpdf or acroread 3. Looks faded Actual Results: It looks faded Expected Results: To look fine, like the test page or the same file under the same printer under Windows, or the same stuff under Fedora Core 1 Additional info: It was working fine with Fedora Core 1
