Description Rick Richardson 2009-10-27 14:53:22 UTC
This works on Fedora 10 with cups-1.3.10-5.fc10.i386.

It does not work with Fedora 11 and later with cups-1.4.1-4.fc11.i586.

F10:

Note the lack of "-Oc=0 -Om=0 -Oy=0" in the foo2hp2600-wrapper line!

I think is it because the XML using <arg_max>100</arg_max> and
<arg_min>-100</arg_min> (ref. foomatic-db/opt/foo2hp-AlignCMYK.xml)
doesn’t get translated to a (possibly depracated?) *.ppd syntax (HP-
Color_LaserJet_2600n.ppd).  But I could be wrong...

I note that the lx5000 and others are the same way...

passes, tho.

Comment 4 Tim Waugh 2009-11-02 17:07:59 UTC
This is a foomatic problem.

Comment 5 Rick Richardson 2009-11-02 21:37:46 UTC
So it is the interaction between cups and foomatic?  Because cups says

f11# grep "foo2hp2600-wrapper " /var/log/cups/error_log 
D [27/Oct/2009:06:28:04 -0500] [Job 3] Starting renderer with command:
"foo2hp2600-wrapper -z0   -b1  -p1 -m1 -s7   -d1 -Gdefault "

Note the lack of "-Oc=0 -Om=0 -Oy=0" in the foo2hp2600-wrapper line.

Comment 6 Tim Waugh 2009-11-03 11:09:39 UTC
The message comes from foomatic-rip.

Comment 7 Rick Richardson 2009-11-03 11:54:59 UTC
OK, it is foomatic writing into the cups error_log.  I think that foomatic would prepend "foomatic: ..." onto the debug message since it is writing to the cups error_log!!!!

Comment 8 Tim Waugh 2009-11-05 16:03:55 UTC
No, it isn't writing directly to the error log.

Reported upstream:
  http://bugs.linux-foundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=399

Changing version to 11 as that is also affected.

Comment 9 Rick Richardson 2009-11-05 16:45:18 UTC
Thanks!  (One line fix.)

Comment 10 Tim Waugh 2009-11-05 17:03:02 UTC
Changing version to 10 as that is also affected.

Comment 15 Tim Waugh 2009-11-09 11:04:45 UTC
Patch was incorrect and caused foomatic-rip to segfault in some situations, reverted.

Comment 16 Bug Zapper 2009-11-18 12:18:08 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 10.  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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '10'.

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 10'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 10 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

Comment 17 Till Kamppeter 2010-01-15 23:55:54 UTC
Please try the improved patch which I have posted to the upstream bug report now.

Comment 18 Tim Waugh 2010-01-19 17:04:46 UTC
Thanks.  Updated package on its way to updates-testing...
