Bug 156033

Does the CUPS test page (/usr/share/cups/data/testprint.ps) work?

The test page prints ok 

What is the least complicated job that fails to print?

i created a one line text document in kate  and it failed to print  

Please attach the output of 'printconf-tui --Xexport'.  Thanks.

Created attachment 114041 [details]
output from printconf-tui

 i have found that firefox prints ok as does a text document if i run lpr  
<document> at the command line  but printing from any kde application fails on  
my HP Laserjet 1012 at work  Openoffice.org prints ok from here.  i will test  
my Samsung some more at home tonight.  

I get this from error_log when printing a single line from kate using your
configuration settings:

Not sure yet whether the fault lies with ghostscript, kate, foomatic, or
something else.

Okay, the problem seems to be in qt.  It's generating this code, even with
'Print to file':

/pageinit {
35.: 24 translate
% 191*262mm (portrait)
0 744 translate 0.75 -0.75 scale/defM matrix CM d } d

The ".:" here makes no sense, and there's no indication in the source code about
how that might have happened.  Possible compiler/C library bug?

The source code I'm looking at, for reference, is in
qt-x11-free-3.3.4/src/kernel/qpsprinter.cpp:5974-5983:

    outStream << "/pageinit {\n";
    if ( !printer->fullPage() ) {
        if ( printer->orientation() == QPrinter::Portrait )
            outStream << mleft*scale << " "
                   << mbottom*scale << " translate\n";
        else
            outStream << mtop*scale << " "
                   << mleft*scale << " translate\n";
    }

it seems a compiler bug, which has caused this problem.

Could you please try to downgrade to qt-3.3.4-10. Does this problem still appear?

Printing works as expected using  qt-3.3.4-10  

it's now fixed in qt-3.3.4-14. Many thanks for your report.
