Description Joachim Backes 2010-09-05 13:58:58 UTC
Description of problem:
Having problems to print after updating to ghostscript-8.71-15.fc14,
ghostscript-cups-8.71-15.fc14 and ghostscript-devel-8.71-15.fc14: The printjob is accepted, but nothing is printed.

My printer is a lexmark-e120n network printer.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
8.71-15.fc14

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.lpr <some file>
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
nothing happens (the printer error led blinks shortly)

Expected results:
file is printed

Additional info:


If I  downgrade the 3 packages to version 8.71-14.fc14, printing is OK.

Comment 1 David 2010-09-07 07:49:33 UTC
Please mark this as a bug for FC13 as well.  One PC that uses ghostscript and ghostscript cups fails to print

---> Package ghostscript.i686 0:8.71-15.fc13 set to be updated
---> Package ghostscript-cups.i686 0:8.71-15.fc13 set to be updated

Once these are in it just refuses to print.

yum downgrade back to:

ghostscript.i686                        8.71-10.fc13                    @updates
ghostscript-cups.i686                   8.71-10.fc13                    @updates

And away it runs happily.

Confirmed on Fedora Rawhide
$ rpm -qa ghostscript\*
ghostscript-cups-8.71-15.fc15.x86_64
ghostscript-fonts-5.50-23.fc12.noarch
ghostscript-8.71-15.fc15.x86_64

The logs show the following:

==> /var/log/cups/access_log <==
localhost - - [10/Sep/2010:22:55:31 +0200] "POST /printers/myprintername HTTP/1.1" 200 349 Create-Job successful-ok
localhost - - [10/Sep/2010:22:55:31 +0200] "POST /printers/myprintername HTTP/1.1" 200 239 Send-Document successful-ok

I didn't manage to downgrade on Rawhide.

Comment 3 Steven Haigh 2010-09-12 11:06:20 UTC
Additional info for this.

In the debug CUPS error_log, I see:

D [11/Sep/2010:06:35:26 +1000] [Job 38] Fontmap entry for Fontmap.local ends prematurely!  Giving up.
D [11/Sep/2010:06:35:26 +1000] [Job 38] renderer exited with status 1
D [11/Sep/2010:06:35:26 +1000] [Job 38] Possible error on renderer command line or PostScript error. Check options.STATE: +connecting-to-device

I'm not 100% sure what Fontmap it is checking - as /etc/ghostscript/8.71/Fontmap.local is a 0 byte file under both F13 & F14.

There is a file /usr/share/ghostscript/8.71/Resource/Init/Fontmap/Fontmap.Fontmap.local - I'm not sure if this should have this filename or just be called Fontmap.local. Can someone check this on a F13 system that works?

Comment 4 Steven Haigh 2010-09-12 11:07:57 UTC
Oh, and this should be added to F14Blocker - as it seems ghostscript is completely broken in the currently available packages.

This problem affects too to Fedora 12.

[maximi89@gateway ~]$ rpm -qa ghostscript\*
ghostscript-fonts-5.50-23.fc12.noarch
ghostscript-cups-8.71-15.fc12.i686
ghostscript-8.71-15.fc12.i686


And if we change in the CLI gs by gs -dNOFONTMAP it works correctly, so this is just a font problem?...

Comment 7 Maximiliano Castanon 2010-09-12 17:02:06 UTC
The Ghostscript package of Fedora it's a copy of Ghostsscript release or it have differences than the official release?

Comment 8 David 2010-09-12 23:23:28 UTC
IS anyone going to fix this?  This is still the latest build in koji nothing since 3rd September.

Also why is this not pulled from updates-testing, its got -3 and its clearly broken.

Comment 9 Maximiliano Castanon 2010-09-13 03:03:13 UTC
Hi guys, my problem was solved... in my case was a problem related with the printer firmware load... doing a reinstall of foo2xqx and hotplug from http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/ my problem was solved... anyway, the post is here, http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/forum/read.php?42,2730

Thanks
