Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 161551
Printed characters are scrumbled after last update
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:08 EST
Description of problem: I have FC4T2 installed, which is 'yum updated' daily. I use a HP Laserjet 6P Printer that is hooked on a windows computer. I print on it through a router, samba style. A couple of days ago, I made a test print, printing just the word 'test' with both KEdit and OOo-writer, just to see if I could print (see https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2005-June/msg00992.html), and didn't notice anything wrong at that time. I therefor assume that the problem appeared after yesterday update. The actual problem is that printing a text with OOo-writer renders scrumbled letters, a bit like what I would get on a dusty deskjet printer. However, this has nothing to do with the printer, every character is rendered consistantly the same wrong way for each font I tried, both from OOo-writer or from PDF exported files with OOo-writer (printed through XPDF). Printing from the other windows box is ok, printing from KEdit is OK. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): # rpm -q hpijs hpijs-0.9.3-6 How reproducible: 100% AFAICT Steps to Reproduce: 1. Print with OOo-writer 2. Go to the printer 3. Look at the result Actual results: Mis-formed characters Expected results: awsome printing Additional info: Available on request
Please attach the output of 'printconf-tui --Xexport'.
Created attachment 115917 [details] printconf output Attached the requested output.
1. Does this still happen with 0.9.4? (Which exact hpijs package do you have now?) 2. What does 'rpm -q ghostscript' say?
Closing due to lack of response by reporter.
