Comment 2 Tim Waugh 2009-04-14 11:09:56 UTC
Please try using the printing troubleshooter, System->Administration->Printing frm the main menu, then Help->Troubleshoot.  When it asks you to print a test page, print as normal from GIMP.

You should end up with a troubleshoot.txt file to attach here.

When I get this far, do I print a normal A4 page.
or try print to media, which the printer lcd complains about?

This is from trying to print to CD.

Comment 5 Tim Waugh 2009-04-14 12:01:59 UTC
Thanks.  Can you take a look in /var/log/messages?  There might be messages from hplip in there.

Comment 6 Frank Murphy 2009-04-14 12:32:56 UTC
Nothing specific with hplip.
Rebooted, started to try print ran dmesg|tail as below:

dmesg | tail

Whether the usblp0: removed has anything to do with it.

If I close CD tray, as printer lcd requests, it prints the image to A4 sheet.

Comment 10 Frank Murphy 2009-04-19 09:25:46 UTC
I checked against an F10 box using:
hplip-gui-2.8.7-3.fc10.i386
hplip-2.8.7-3.fc10.i386
hplip-libs-2.8.7-3.fc10.i386
hpijs-2.8.7-3.fc10.i386
hal-cups-utils-0.6.19-1.fc10.i386
cups-1.3.9-8.fc10.i386
cupsddk-drivers-1.2.3-5.fc10.i386
cups-libs-1.3.9-8.fc10.i386

and it does print to cd\dvd,
so am guessing some regression crept into 
hplip-3.9.2-4.fc11.i586

Question: Can I rebuild the F10-src.rpm  verion against the Rawhide\F11 box?

Comment 11 Bug Zapper 2009-06-09 13:47:39 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle.
Changing version to '11'.

Comment 12 Tom Horsley 2009-06-14 15:10:58 UTC
I just added some info to the launchpad issue:

https://answers.launchpad.net/hplip/+question/63943

My experiments with fedora 11 and forcing installs of f10 packages
reveal that the bug seems to lie in the hpijs package, not hplip.

Comment 13 Tom Horsley 2009-06-15 23:45:21 UTC
I just tried one more experiment. I put back the fedora 11 3.9.2 versions
of hplip and hpijs, then I erased hpijs and installed the f10 hpijs-2.8.12
version, and I can print to DVDs correctly with just the old hpijs
installed, everything else is the normal fedora 11 version. So maybe
this bug should move to hpijs?

Comment 14 Tom Horsley 2009-06-18 02:18:30 UTC
I see there is a hplip 3.9.6 just released today on sourceforge which has
a (oh joy) complete replacement for hplip they are calling hpcups.
That's bound to be backward compatible with all the nuances they've
built into hplip over the years, right? :-).

Anyway, maybe it fixes this problem?

Comment 15 Tom Horsley 2009-06-21 14:07:08 UTC
Forgetting 3.9.6 for the moment (which I image is a lot of work), there
was a patch posted in the hplip bugs which seems to work for the current
version of fedora 11 hplip. Here's the procedure I followed to get a working
/usr/bin/hpijs installed:

Bug is: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/380858

Patch is: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/28140718/set-media-type.diff

I stashed it in /zooty/downloads/set-media-type.diff

Made a nice clean rpmbuild environment in /zooty/build/rpmbuild

rpm -ihv /zooty/downloads/hplip-3.9.2-4.fc11.src.rpm
cd SPECS/
rpmbuild -bp hplip.spec
cd ../BUILD/hplip-3.9.2/
patch -p0 < /zooty/downloads/set-media-type.diff
cd -
rpmbuild --short-circuit -bc hplip.spec
sudo cp ../BUILD/hplip-3.9.2/.libs/hpijs /usr/bin/hpijs-patched
cd /usr/bin
sudo ln hpijs hpijs.f11
sudo rm hpijs
sudo ln hpijs-patched hpijs

After this I can print DVDs again! Any chance we could get that patch
into fedora 11?

Comment 25 Tom Horsley 2009-08-28 18:40:24 UTC
I've got a boot partition installed with fedora 12 alpha which has
hplip-3.9.8-11.fc12.x86_64 installed, so I figured I'd try my DVD
printing program out and see if it works. The answer is, unfortunately, NO.

Instead of printing anything that looks like it might be a DVD image, it
seems to have scaled the image to print on (perhaps) an 8.5x11 page, then
just printed the part of that which intersects the actual DVD media.

The program I'm using to print can be found at:

http://home.att.net/~Tom.Horsley/kewpie/kewpie.html

I'll attach scans of a printout from a version of hplip where it worked
fine, and a scan of the one that didn't work under 3.9.8-11.

I not only ran Print Setup and set the tray and media to 120mm DVD,
but I also configured the printer to make those the defaults, all
to no avail :-).

This is a printout of a CD I made when hplip was working correctly.

and here's what the hplip-3.9.8-11 printout looks like

This uses the same program to print the same image file to the same printer.
As you can see, the results are not the same.

Will investigate this next week.

Comment 30 Fedora Update System 2009-08-31 23:29:42 UTC
hplip-3.9.8-12.fc11 has been pushed to the Fedora 11 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.

Comment 31 Tim Waugh 2009-09-01 08:07:18 UTC
(3.9.8-12.fc11 was automatically pushed in the mean time, which is what comment #30 is about.)

Comment 32 Tom Horsley 2009-09-01 09:36:55 UTC
Actually, something fixed it in rawhide. The 3.9.8-14 update is back to printing
DVDs mostly correctly now. (If only I could figure out how to get it to stop
cutting off the top 2 millimeters, it would be perfect, but that is no doubt
a separate problem).

Comment 33 Tim Waugh 2009-09-01 10:02:24 UTC
OK, great, glad this one is fixed now.  Thanks for letting me know.
