Yes, please attach /etc/alchemist/namespace/printconf/local.adl and I'll try to reproduce it. Thanks. Created attachment 78266 [details]
local.adl file from our print server
Would the particular DRIVER (i think I have that printer set to gimp print) have an effect? I've tried deleting and re-creating the queue, in the theory that it might be a version skew kind of problem. No joy. My users/boss are riding me pretty hard on this one: any suggestions? Got the same problem - prints in duplex on the postscript driver w/o a problem - but the hp4000's blow up on certain postscript with the other drivers. I might try it with the lj5gray drivers shortly - but I've gotten the best output from the gimp-print driver. I've reconfigured our printers here to use the postscript driver as well, and they SEEM to be ok. I have users testing now. The gimp-print output IS better, so we would prefer to see a fix to allow that driver to be used again. Using pxlmono does reasonable output - but I'd still love to know why gimp-print doesn't work. whoops - spoke too soon, pxlmono and lj5gray will make both cause the hp4000 to drop the last page <sigh> Additionally, the postscript driver appears to send the printer cruft on certain occasions and we know hp's ps support is, umm, a thing of legend. Any leads on gimp-print as postscript? thanks worthy of note - gimp-print won't duplex on the hp2200DN either. not to be a bother but: Changelog * Thu Jul 18 2002 Tim Waugh <twaugh> 4.2.1-5 - Make the cups package own some directories. * Tue Jul 16 2002 Tim Waugh <twaugh> 4.2.1-4 - Fix PS:Duplex problems. That is from the gimp-print package in Rawhide. What is this fix? I should just consolidate this - but gimp-print appears to ignore duplex in 8.0 too. I can attach a local.adl from there as well, if you'd like. thanks > - Fix PS:Duplex problems.
This was that the ghostscript IJS client was sending the gimp print IJS server
PS:Duplex options, which the gimp-print-ijs server doesn't handle. The
subsequent errors prevented any printing at all.
For the HP LaserJet 4000N, the recommended driver is Omni. Have you tried
that?
Under 7.3 omni is not an option for hp4000's - would you like me to choose the omni driver out from under another printer and try it on the hp4000n on 7.3? Oh, perhaps Omni only supports that model in 0.7.x then (I'm using Red Hat Linux 8.0 here). Sorry. appears to be resolved on rhl9 and above for the hp4000's - closing. |
