Description Richard Körber 2010-02-09 19:43:50 UTC
Description of problem:
After updating to ghostscript-8.70-5.fc12.x86_64, the printer only prints black pages with small vertical lines and some patterns on it. After downgrading to ghostscript-8.70-2.fc12.x86_64.rpm, everything works fine again.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ghostscript-8.70-5.fc12.x86_64
cups-1.4.2-20.fc12.x86_64
turboprint-2.12-1.x86_64 (from http://www.turboprint.de/)

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Update to ghostscript-8.70-5.fc12.x86_64
2. Print something (e.g. a PDF file or a test page).
  
Actual results:
The printed page is mostly black with only some vertical stripes and patterns on it.

Expected results:
The page is printed correctly.

Additional info:
I am using turboprint as driver for my Canon Pixma IP 4000. I don't know if this is a bug in ghostscript or an incompatibility with turboprint. Anyhow I could reproduce this behaviour on two Fedora 12 x86_64 machines.

Comment 1 Tim Waugh 2010-02-11 13:10:11 UTC
Please attach the PPD for the queue you are using.  You can find this in the /etc/cups/ppd directory.

Thanks.  This is some kind of regression in the ghostscript cups driver.

Comment 11 John Cooper 2010-02-19 18:54:02 UTC
Using Fedora 12 and turboprint-2.13-2.i586.rpm. Update from ghostscript-8.70-2.fc12.i686.rpm to ghostscript-8.70-5.fc12.i686.rpm started the black print page problem. 

Update to ghostscript-8.71-1.fc12.i686.rpm initially fixed it but after reboot black page again. Tried ghostscript-8.71-2.fc12.i686.rpm but still black page.

Dropped back to ghostscript-8.70-2.fc12.i686.rpm and works again (had to remove ghostscript and all dependencies first). My printer is a Canon MP780 and installed as local using tpu://Canon/MP780 .

Error in /var/log/messages :-

Comment 12 Fedora Update System 2010-02-20 00:29:30 UTC
ghostscript-8.71-2.fc12 has been pushed to the Fedora 12 testing repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
 If you want to test the update, you can install it with 
 su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update ghostscript'.  You can provide feedback for this update here: http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F12/FEDORA-2010-1891

Comment 13 John Cooper 2010-02-20 09:48:23 UTC
Still only ghostscript-8.71-1.fc12 showing on yum update. Tried to install ghostscript-8.71-2.fc12.i686.rpm manually but got the same error which meant I had to completely uninstall ghostscript and dependencies first :-

sudo rpm -Uvh /data/ghostscript-8.71-2.fc12.i686.rpm 
error: Failed dependencies:
	libgs.so is needed by ghostscript-8.71-2.fc12.i686
	libgs.so.8 is needed by (installed) libspectre-0.2.3-1.fc12.i686

sudo yum provides /usr/lib/libgs.so.8

ghostscript-8.70-2.fc12.i686 : A PostScript interpreter and renderer.
Repo        : installed
Matched from:
Other       : Provides-match: /usr/lib/libgs.so.8

Which has nothing to do with libspectre. 8.70-1 installs fine. Should 8.70-2 really be checking for libgs.so ?

rpm -qlp /data/ghostscript-8.71-2.fc12.i686.rpm | grep libgs
/usr/lib/libgs.so.8
/usr/lib/libgs.so.8.71

Comment 14 John Cooper 2010-02-20 10:11:28 UTC
Removed ghostscript and dependencies, e.g.turboprint using sudo yum remove ghostscript. Still complaining about libgs.so , so

sudo rpm -Uvh --nodeps ghostscript-8.71-2.fc12.i686.rpm
sudo rpm -Uvh turboprint-2.12-2.i586.rpm

This time nothing actually get sent to the printer and no error messages. Turboprint print monitor just shows "Printer: USB error". Reinstalled 8.70-2 and works fine, monitor says "Printer: idle".
