Description of problem: My postscript files will no longer print (I get a blank page) when using XMGrace. All other applications print fine. Before the recent update to foomatic-3.0.2-13.4 it worked fine. Should I remove the new version and install the older version of foomatic? Is that the only fix? If yes, then can you point me to some directions on how to uninstall foomatic (I've been looking but can't find anything that actually works on fedora). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): grace-5.1.18 foomatic-3.0.2-13.4 Printer - Canon i450 (using driver for BJC-7000) since Canon i450 not provided How reproducible: Only with XMGrace application. But if I make the .ps file from grace and open the file with ggv and try to print I still get a blank page. I can however print a jpeg produced from grace. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Make graph on XMGrace 2.Print using PS Level 2 to device (lp -c) 3.Prints blank page Actual results: Prints blank page Expected results: Print graph seen on the screen Additional info: I am under the assumption that it is foomatic causing this issue from the advice of a xmgrace forum user. If it is not foomatic, could you point me in the right direction as to why I can print pages fine for all applications except xmgrace? Thanks!
Hi, 1. You have put 'test3' as the product version, but I think you must mean '3' as in Fedora Core 3 -- can you please confirm that you are using Fedora Core 3? If fc4test3 there is a separate version for that. 2. Please attach the output of 'printconf-tui --Xexport', making sure to remove any passwords it may contain. Also please let me know the name of the print queue you are printing to.
Tim, Thanks for the prompt reply. Yes I did mean Fedora Core 3 (excuse me, I'm new to this). I was finally able to uninstall foomatic-3.0.2-13.4 and installed an older version and now everything seems to be working fine. Another colleague who just installed Fedora Core 3 had other printing issues and I gave him the same advice. It also worked for him. Perhaps the new version of foomatic is lacking.
Well, I'd rather find the problem and fix it than just have everyone downgrade. :-) Which older version did you install?
Yeah, I was hoping for a better fix to the problem, but my necessity to print has driven me to this option. I used foomatic-3.0.2-3.i386.rpm Just in case anyone else doesn't know about uninstalling foomatic (which was me a day ago), this is what I wrote at the command line rpm -e --nodeps foomatic-3.0.2-13.4 rpm -i foomatic-3.0.2-3.i386.rpm (of course after downloading the old version of foomatic) Thanks!
Please supply: 1. a PS file that demonstrates the problem 2. the output of 'printconf-tui --Xexport' Thanks.
Do you know I had to reinstall the bad foomatic :) - but if it helps to solving the problem I guess it's worth the trouble. The PS file can be found at: http://www-rohan.sdsu.edu/~azar/printertest.ps (it will open using ggv for fedora - you should see a histogram - try to print it - it will only print a blank page) The output for printconf-tui --Xexport is: <id NAME="local" SERIAL="1117825669"> <null/> <null/> </id> <datatree> <printconf TYPE="LIST"> <print_queues TYPE="LIST"> <_i450-2 ATOMIC="TRUE" TYPE="LIST"> <alias_list ANONYMOUS="TRUE" TYPE="LIST"> </alias_list> <queue_type TYPE="STRING" VALUE="LOCAL"/> <queue_data TYPE="LIST"> <local_printer_device TYPE="STRING" VALUE="/dev/usb/lp0"/> </queue_data> <filter_data TYPE="LIST"> <print_header_page TYPE="BOOL" VALUE="FALSE"/> <flags TYPE="LIST"> <send_FF TYPE="BOOL" VALUE="FALSE"/> <convert_text_to_Postscript TYPE="BOOL" VALUE="TRUE"/> <rerender_Postscript TYPE="BOOL" VALUE="FALSE"/> <assume_data_is_text TYPE="BOOL" VALUE="FALSE"/> <send_EOT TYPE="BOOL" VALUE="FALSE"/> </flags> <mf_type TYPE="STRING" VALUE="MFOMATIC"/> <filter_locale TYPE="STRING" VALUE="C"/> <printer_id TYPE="STRING" VALUE="Canon-BJC-7000"/> <gs_driver TYPE="STRING" VALUE="gimp-print-ijs"/> <foomatic_defaults ANONYMOUS="TRUE" TYPE="LIST"> <option_default TYPE="LIST"> <name TYPE="STRING" VALUE="PageSize"/> <type TYPE="STRING" VALUE="enum"/> <default TYPE="STRING" VALUE="Letter"/> </option_default> </foomatic_defaults> </filter_data> <filter_type TYPE="STRING" VALUE="MAGICFILTER"/> <queue_description TYPE="STRING" VALUE=""/> <jobsheets TYPE="LIST"> <start TYPE="STRING" VALUE="none"/> <end TYPE="STRING" VALUE="none"/> </jobsheets> <margins TYPE="LIST"> <top TYPE="INT" VALUE="36"/> <right TYPE="INT" VALUE="36"/> <bottom TYPE="INT" VALUE="36"/> <left TYPE="INT" VALUE="36"/> </margins> <lpoptions TYPE="LIST"> <cpi TYPE="STRING" VALUE="12"/> <lpi TYPE="STRING" VALUE="7"/> <page-bottom TYPE="STRING" VALUE="86"/> <page-left TYPE="STRING" VALUE="57"/> <page-right TYPE="STRING" VALUE="57"/> <page-top TYPE="STRING" VALUE="72"/> <scaling TYPE="STRING" VALUE="100"/> <wrap TYPE="STRING" VALUE="true"/> </lpoptions> </_i450-2> </print_queues> <sharing_globals TYPE="LIST"> <browsing TYPE="BOOL" VALUE="TRUE"/> </sharing_globals> </printconf> </datatree> </adm_context>
