A postscript file that is printed

Output of foomatic-rip -v ... from cups-filters-1.27.1-1.fc31.x86_64
Additional Info: The attached foomatic-rip output is from 1.27.1-1 , because this version prints more interesting blah. The newer 1.27.2-1 prints less. This difference alone shows me that this previously working component has been broken to notable degree by applying fragile development. Additional Info: The old version 1.22.5-4 is working. Congrats. A software that is working flawlessly since 10+ years has been screwed up. Nothing is safe. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1806862 *** Actually, you are trying to print postscript file which does not have any pages - so no pages printed out is correct output. When you have specific PS file which has at least one page, it prints out correctly (in 1.27.2). You can try it when you convert some PDF by: gs -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=ps2write -sOutputFile=<filename>.ps <pdf> and printing created postscript file. comment 7 is nonsense. Obviously the commenter has no idea of postscript. i accept the "duplicate", but not, that this is not a bug. the referred bug report says it all and with the old software version the file is printed. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1806862 *** You are sending invalid (has no pages) postscript document to printer. The result is correct - no pages. The old foomatic-rip producing output for such documents was a bug. The bug #1806862 produced empty output even for valid postscript files. You can speak your mind in https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups-filters/issues/215 , if you do not agree. |
Created attachment 1667298 [details] postscript file that cannot be printed Description of problem: foomatic-rip outputs empty file with many postscript or PDF files. Thus nothing is printed. The weird thing is, that i have not modified anything on the machine since the time printing was working last time. No, really not. Now i updated cups-filters, because an update was available. However, this did not change anything. I think the issue can be boiled down to the following: <start> /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip -v --ppd /etc/cups/ppd/bunti.ppd < align.ps DEBUG: Color Manager: Invalid printer name. 'CM Color Calibration' Mode in SPOOLER-LESS: Off foomatic-rip version 1.27.2 running... called with arguments: '-v', '--ppd', '/etc/cups/ppd/bunti.ppd' Parsing PPD file ... Added option ColorSpace Added option PageSize ... ================================================ Filetype: PostScript Storing temporary files in /tmp No pages left, outputting empty file. Closing foomatic-rip. <end> I think the problem is not related to this PPD, but the logics in foomatic-rip to handle the postscript text. I'll attach the PPD (originates from openprinting) and the align.ps (from foo2zjs). Furthermore i'll attach the complete foomatic-rip output. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cups-filters-1.27.2-1.fc31.x86_64 How reproducible: try to print the attached file. It should print. Steps to Reproduce: 1. /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip -v --ppd /etc/cups/ppd/bunti.ppd < align.ps >/tmp/1 Actual results: i get only messages, that there is no output produced Expected results: native printer data is written to /tmp/1 Additional info:
