Description of problem: When printing from some applications (like Scribus), my Fedora CUPS server fails to print the submitted document. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): foomatic-3.0.2-51.fc8 cups-1.2.10-10.fc7 ghostscript-8.60-2.fc8 How reproducible: Everytime. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a document in Scribus 2. Print it to a CUPS attached printer Actual results: Document fails to print. Expected results: Printed document. Looking in the CUPS error log, I see these messages (after enabling debug output as suggested by earlier errors): D [25/Sep/2007:21:23:04 -0700] cupsdProcessIPPRequest: 9 status_code=0 (successful-ok) D [25/Sep/2007:21:23:05 -0700] [Job 55] Wrote 1 pages...

Thanks for the report. I need more information: 1. Please attach a sample PostScript file. 2. How exactly are you printing it? What command line, if from the command line -- please be specific, so that I can try to reproduce the problem here.
I won't be able to get to one of the failing .ps files until tonight. However, I believe this will happen with any Scribus generated content. Just install Scribus (a KDE app), make a test document and try to print it. Exporting the file to a .ps and trying to print it from KGhostview also fails.
Fails with Fedora 8 when printing to an "Epson Stylus D68 Foomatic/gutenprint-ijs-simplified.5.0" queue. foomatic-3.0.2-52.fc8 ghostscript-8.61-5.fc8 cups-1.3.5-1.fc8 What type of printer are you trying to print to?
That turned out to be due to 'PageSize' being set to 'Custom' in the printer options. Another failed print (entirely black sheet of paper) was due to 'Brightness' and 'Saturation' being set to 0. Looks like it's all scribus bugs. Reassigning.
FWIW I'm using an hp photosmart 7760. foomatic-3.0.2-52.fc8 ghostscript-8.61-5.fc8 cups-1.3.4-4.fc8 Thanks for testing, I hope there's a scribus update available soon with fixes for its postscript generation.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. 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 prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 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 please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. 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. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 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. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
