what does the %Trailer info look like (I'm trying to sync this with another report of extra garbage coming from a Windows postscript driver...) yup, looks like something I've seen before with the Adobe postscript driver. Fix applied in rhs-printfilters-1.55-1, in the next Raw Hide release. sssd-1.16.2-4.fc28 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 28. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2018-5793dadb1d sssd-1.16.2-4.fc28 has been pushed to the Fedora 28 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Updates_Testing for instructions on how to install test updates. You can provide feedback for this update here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2018-5793dadb1d sssd-1.16.2-4.fc28 has been pushed to the Fedora 28 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |
Postscript data created by Windows drivers contain %Trailer info not intended to go to the printer. Ghostscript tries to send this to stdout but the use of the -sOutputFile=- option combines it and causes an extra page to follow every job. This wastes paper and is annoying. The following construct in /usr/lib/rhs/rhs-printfilters/ps-to-printer.fpi corrects this problem: eval "$mpage_cmd | gs -q -sDEVICE=$GSDEVICE \ -r$RESOLUTION \ -sPAPERSIZE=$PAPERSIZE \ -dNOPAUSE \ -dSAFER \ -sOutputFile=\|'cat 1>&3' \ $COLOR \ $EXTRA_GS_OPTIONS \ - 3>&1 1>&2 "
