The ghostscript-pagesize patch was added for bug #126446. Some printers apparently eat jobs that have '... null setpagesize' (!). The 842x1191 point size is also seen in lib/gs_statd.ps so I think the gdevpsu.c patch to adjust 1190 to 1191 should be applied. Thanks. An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information on therefore solution and/or where to find the updated files, please follow the link below. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2009-1257.html |
Description of problem: We running into this problem printing postscript pages on A3 Paper size after upgradeing from ghostscript V7 to V8. A3 Pages are only of size letter on A3 paper sheets printed on Xerox Workcentre Pro 245. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ghostscript-8.15.2-9.1.el5_1.1 ghostscript-7.07-33.2.el4_6.1 all redhat ghostscript versions > 7.07-29 and upstream espgs versions since r181 | mike | 2006-08-26 02:56:47 +0200 (Sat, 26 Aug 2006) Steps to Reproduce: 1. echo hallo > hallo.txt 2. a2ps -M a5 -o hallo.ps hallo.txt 3. gs -q -sDEVICE=pswrite -sOutputFile=- -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sPAPERSIZE=a3 hallo.ps > hallo_test.ps 4. grep " setpagesize" hallo_test.ps is actual: should be: 842 1191 /a3 setpagesize or 842 1191 null setpagesize Actual results: 842 1191 /letter setpagesize Expected results: 842 1191 /a3 setpagesize Additional info: Result "842 1191 null setpagesize" is also ok. But "/letter" is wrong.
