Using xpaint for printing, prints the GIF file immediately and correctly. ImageMagick prints properly too.

But gimp only prints an empty page.

the gif file

Trying to print the gif file in F13 (there with eog too!), the file is immediately printed properly.

Doesn't seem like an eog issue. I can print quite OK to my Canon iR 4080.

tcpdump -i eth0 (the printer, called e120n, can be reached by eth0)

Same problem with .png files and eog-2.31.91-1.fc14.i686

Can you try with something like gthumb or any other image viewer that uses gtkprinter? gimp not working either is an indicator that it has something to do with either the gtk layer or cups.

Also if possible, please see if printing to another device works. Assigning to cups to get more insight.

The gthumb behaviour is exactly the same: after saying print, the network is
full busy, but nothing is printed (if printing a png file with gthumb)

11 seconds after starting the JetDirect connect it is still transferring the
data, albeit slowly.  The slow speed is due to the reduced TCP window ("win 0")
on the printer here:

09:49:26.906328 IP e120n.jetdirect > eule.53191: Flags [.], ack 83905, win 0,

and here:

10136, options [nop,nop,TS val 1483604 ecr 14503710], length 0

and 8 more times shown in the trace.

Otherwise it looks like a normal print job.  A few hundred kilobytes is not unusual for print job data (more commonly it is much more).

Please try 'lp -dprinter image.gif' to print it directly without involving any graphical utilities to see if that avoids the problem.

Hi Tim,

Both lp and lpr print that gif (or png) file immediately :-)

Seems to be a problem with some library common to eog and gthumb.

Got rid from the described problem after having changed the driver to Lexmark E120n Foomatic/hpijs-pcl5e (had been Lexmark E120n Foomatic/pxlmono)
