Description Erlend Dahl 2006-04-07 12:25:30 UTC 
Description of problem:

Postcript files fail to print on Brother HL-1240, ghostscript fails

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Linux cembalo 2.6.16-1.2080_FC5 #1 Tue Mar 28 03:38:34 EST 2006 i686 i686 i386
GNU/Linux
ghostscript-8.15.1-7.1
cups-1.2-0.2.rc1.2.6

How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. lpr <postcript file>
2.
3.
  
Actual results: File does not print, remains in printer queue


Expected results: File is printed


Additional info:

Foomatic log file shows that ghostscript stops. 

I have tried the hint suggested in 187907 (change the 'fitplot' option to
'false' using system-config-printer), but to no avail.

I attach two ps files that will not print, one from Firefox, the other from
LaTeX (dvips) as well as the corresponding foomatic log files.

Comment 5 Tim Waugh 2006-04-07 13:55:40 UTC 
Does 'lpr -ofitplot=false ...' work?
Comment 6 Erlend Dahl 2006-04-07 14:09:49 UTC 
It works indeed for printing the file generated by Firefox, but not for the
LaTeX / dvips output.
Comment 7 Tim Waugh 2006-04-07 14:57:42 UTC 
Can you show me the foomatic-rip.log file for printing the dvips output using
'-ofitplot=false' please?  Thanks.

Comment 9 Tim Waugh 2006-04-07 16:42:40 UTC 
Please try these rc1.2.8 packages:

  ftp://people.redhat.com/twaugh/tmp/cups-1.2/FC-5

Seems to work here, anyway.
Comment 10 Erlend Dahl 2006-04-07 17:22:19 UTC 
Thanks, that worked. Even without -ofitplot=false (but then the printout was
slightly reduced).

Any idea what caused this behaviour?
Comment 11 Tim Waugh 2006-04-07 17:28:10 UTC 
Yes; the pstops filter was buggy.  Thanks for testing it.
