Mistakenly filed against the wrong SRPM

Comment 4 Tim Waugh 2011-02-08 13:46:36 UTC
When you print the HPLIP test page again, do you see exactly the same corruption in the same places, or does it vary?

Comment 5 Michel Alexandre Salim 2011-02-18 00:51:16 UTC
It's almost exactly the same corruption. Likewise with the train tickets -- the QR code consistently gets turned into thin lines. I'm traveling now, so I won't be able to retry this until the end of the month.

Comment 6 Tim Waugh 2011-03-07 16:14:14 UTC
Almost exactly the same?  If it's different at all, I would start suspecting the cable...

Could you please attach the PPD you are using, from the /etc/cups/ppd/ directory?  Thanks.

Comment 7 Michel Alexandre Salim 2011-03-27 07:12:38 UTC
It can't be the cable; printing from Windows works fine.

Actually, I could not reproduce the problem anymore. On a fresh installation of F-14 upgraded to F-15 updates-testing, printing now works just fine (modulo a control center bug that left the printer disabled, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=691154).

In fact, now the printer output matches the Windows driver exactly, whereas before the black always looks less vibrant -- faded, actually -- even at maximum quality.

Sounds like bug #689354.

Closing this one as it can't be reproduced any more.
