Description josef radinger 2020-11-20 10:11:08 UTC
Description of problem:
when using the current version 

with a canon Imagerunner Advance Printer (commonly used in large comapnies) 
one gets only one line of output:
"Unknown device: opvp"

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ghostscript-9.53.3-1.fc32.x86_64.rpm

How reproducible:
just print 

Actual results:
no correct output

Expected results:
correct output

by adding

to %configure
one gets a version which prints OK.

ghostscript changed that default to exclude opvp with

Comment 1 josef radinger 2020-11-20 10:15:08 UTC
above patch got reverted by
https://github.com/ArtifexSoftware/ghostpdl/commit/c6ce09aa5c9ed0c66c597478a2c4fb75aa25267f

which is not yet released

Comment 3 josef radinger 2020-11-25 14:59:36 UTC
works for me

Comment 5 Michael J Gruber 2020-12-22 11:54:58 UTC
Over at bug 1909950 we are getting a report that the new builds in fact do not solve the opvp issue. Could anyone here confirm that ghostscript-9.53.3-3 did solve it?

If not, please check out the test builds for ghostscript-9.53.3-4 in that bug.

Comment 8 Fedora Program Management 2021-04-29 16:44:07 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 32 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 32 on 2021-05-25.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
Fedora 'version' of '32'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 32 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 9 Michael J Gruber 2021-04-30 07:13:56 UTC
Note: this has been fixed on F32 and up in ghostscript-9.53.3-4
So I suggest closing this one.

Comment 10 Ben Cotton 2021-05-25 17:00:22 UTC
Fedora 32 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2021-05-25. Fedora 32 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
