Ok, I was able to reproduce the issue with file device printer - resulting file is empty. Checking if it is not due https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups-filters/issues/206 ...

Hi Marc,

the upstream fix worked for my local reproducer (output is no longer empty) - would you mind testing the scratch build? The link is https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=41892070 .

Hi Zdenek.
The RPMs from the scratch build fixes the problem. Thanks.

I'm currently blocked by FTBFS on F33 and F32 - it was raised by font packaging change and the change showed programming error in cups-filters. I'll create the patch for upstream and create pull request there.

I can confirm similar behavior with foo2xqx backend for HP LaserJet P1505N, connected over LAN.

How i found this:
- at one moment i found that my network printer don't print;
  I try some programs (libreoffice writer, kwrite, lp) and cups test-page - this don't work;
  In logs nothing interesting even in debug log-level;
- I check foo2xqx-wrapper - this work correctly, and print xqx-data directly over lpr - this work correct.
- I try reinstall printer, re-assign PPD file and even make hard-reset for printer.
- After some tests i found that new version of cups-filter broke printing over foo2xqx backend;

When i make rollback to cups-filters-1.22  by dnf downgrade command, my printer start working correctly.
I update all systems packages to last versions, except cups-filters and printer stay working;

But after update cups-filters to 1.27 printing to HP P1505N over network fails.

!! After each change version of cups-related packages i make `service cups retart`;

Also i found foo2xqx-wrapper wrote some detailed logs in journal at manual running,
but in printing process from gui-applications with cups-filters-1.27 this xqx-related logs don't appear in journalctl -f;


I suggest that new version of cups-filters-1.27 don't processing this option from PPD-file:

$ zcat /usr/share/cups/model/HP-LaserJet_P1505n.ppd.gz | grep xqx-wrapper
*FoomaticRIPCommandLine: "foo2xqx-wrapper %A"

due absent of foo2xqx-wrapper related strings in cups logs;


I found that another cups-related packages can be upgraded to last versions;

bluez-cups.x86_64           5.53-2.fc31
cups.x86_64                 1:2.2.12-3.fc31
cups-client.x86_64          1:2.2.12-3.fc31
cups-filesystem.noarch      1:2.2.12-3.fc31
cups-filters.x86_64         1.22.5-4.fc31
cups-filters-libs.x86_64    1.22.5-4.fc31
cups-ipptool.x86_64         1:2.2.12-3.fc31
cups-libs.i686              1:2.2.12-3.fc31
cups-libs.x86_64            1:2.2.12-3.fc31
cups-pdf.x86_64             3.0.1-8.fc31
cups-pk-helper.x86_64       0.2.6-8.fc31
python3-cups.x86_64         1.9.74-4.fc31

I also check foomatic-rip outputs - yes, after upgrade cups-filters (and cups-filters-libs) from 1.22 to 1.27 i see only this:

# foomatic-rip /tmp/Check.ps -P HP-P1505n
DEBUG: Color Manager: Invalid printer name.
'CM Color Calibration' Mode in SPOOLER-LESS: Off

# foomatic-rip /tmp/Check.ps -P Cups-PDF 
DEBUG: Color Manager: Invalid printer name.
'CM Color Calibration' Mode in SPOOLER-LESS: Off



At version 1.22 i see also this headers:
12345X@PJL JOB
@PJL SET JAMRECOVERY=OFF
@PJL SET DENSITY=3
@PJL SET ECONOMODE=OFF
@PJL SET RET=MEDIUM
@PJL INFO STATUS
@PJL USTATUS DEVICE = ON
@PJL USTATUS JOB = ON
@PJL USTATUS PAGE = ON
@PJL USTATUS TIMED = 30

and many binary output.

I use only stable version of fc31 repos (`fedora` and `updates`), not devel/testing/rawhide;

Hi Amin,

thank you for feedback!

As you can see, the bugzilla is in ON_QA, which means the update which fixes the issue is in fedora-updates-testing repository.

Then you can:

1) wait till the update gets through the testing period and get into stable 

or

2) help with testing, installing the cups-filters packages from fedora-updates-testing repo by:

$ sudo dnf upgrade --enablerepo=updates-testing --advisory=FEDORA-2020-83519d93aa

and try to print. Then leave the karma here https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2020-83519d93aa depending on your testing results and speed up the testing period.

cups-filters-1.27.2-1.fc31 has been pushed to the Fedora 31 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.

I make update to cups-filters-1.27.2-1 (stable repo) - and my printer work again.
This update fix issue completely. Great work!
