From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050416 Fedora/1.0.3-1.3.1 Firefox/1.0.3 Description of problem: After installation of foomatic-3.0.2-13.4, whichever printing attempt on a HP PSC750xi results in the postscript text being printed (I mean the ASCII of the postscript file in endless pages) rather than being "interpreted" (that is getting for example the test page with the redhat logo etc) I tried to reboot/restart cups etc, no way. Downgrading to foomatic-3.0.2-13.3 fixes immediately the problem Since this is the only printer I have available at the moment, I do not know if it is a general problem a problem specific of printers printing thru hpoj, or specific of this model/driver only Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.0.2-13.4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.upgrade to foomatic-3.0.2-13.4 2.try to print a postscript file (or the test page) on a HP PSC750xi 3.look at the result Actual Results: a lot of garbage pages are printed Expected Results: the usual test page should come out Additional info:
Please attach the output of 'printconf-tui --Xexport'. Thanks.
Created attachment 113481 [details] output of printconf-tui --Xexport This is the output of printconf-tui --Xexport (with foomatic-3.0.2-13.4 installed). Let me know if I can be of further help
I can't reproduce this problem here. hpoj is working as normal for me, and redirecting the output to a temporary file after importing your configuration results in the expected binary data, not the PostScript you see. How are you printing files? It would be useful to see the cups error_log after you've set 'LogLevel debug2' in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, restarted cups, and printed again.
Thanks for your help. I'll set LogLevel debug2 and try again (this evening, the printer is my home printer). I started to notice the problem printing from OpenOffice a two page, text only document. I got garbage starting with %!PS-Adobe-3.0 etc etc getting printed instead of the document. I restarted hpoj, lpd, printed to a file, looked at the file and then printed with lpr. Same result. I rebooted the machine (useless I know), opened a pdf with acroread and printed, same result. At this point I entered the printer configuration tool and printed the A4 postscript test page from the "test" radio button. I downgraded foomatic, printed a test page again, it came out perfect. I installed again foomatic-3.0.2-13.4 and tried to print a test page, garbage again, downgraded again -> no problem. At this point I opened the bug. Let me know if I can be of further help
