PDF that hangs our printers

CUPS processed output for HP LaserJet 5M

CUPS processed output for Ricoh Aficio 7200
If you downgrade CUPS to 1.1.23-30.2, by fetching the packages from ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/5/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS and running: rpm -Uvh --oldpackage cups-*.rpm on those packages, then restart CUPS with '/sbin/service cups restart', and try to print again, does the problem still occur?

CUPS 1.1.23-30.2 processed output for Ricoh 7200
Still hangs the printer. Output is slightly different so I attached for
reference.
Still hangs with cups 1.2.3-1.2 Could you please try 1.2.6-1.3.fc5 from updates-testing? yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update 'cups*' Thanks. Still the same. With the Ricoh I get 4 pages of gabled output then the hang. WIth the HP it prints 2-4 pages then hangs with the service error. Still the same with cups-1.3.3-3.fc8 I see something similar with an HP LaserJet 6MP: it just doesn't give any output when using the PostScript driver. Trying with raster drivers such as hpijs or gutenprint gives good results. My best guess is that the PostScript for page 5 does not fit into the printer's memory, whereas the PDF does. If you try the hpijs driver instead of the PostScript driver with the HP LaserJet 5M, do you also see correct output? I have no work-around to suggest for the Ricoh model, unfortunately. hpijs does work. I'd be surprised if it's a memory thing (directly) with the Ricoh - it does have 256MB of memory, which seems to be a fair amount. The 5M is pretty limited on memory. Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
