Description Horst H. von Brand 2011-10-26 16:39:21 UTC
Created attachment 530332 [details]
Output from system-config-printer as directed by How_to_debug_printing_problems

Description of problem:
Trying to print a PDF file over the net just gets me:
$ lpq
dcsc is ready and printing
Rank    Owner   Job     File(s)                         Total Size
active  vonbran 275     propuesta1.pdf                  97280 bytes

There it stays, the file isn't printed and no change in status is reported either. 

Printer properties:
Device URI:     hp:/net/HP_LaserJet_M1522nf_MFP?ip=200.1.21.56
Make and model: HP LaserJet m1522nf MFP pcl3, hpcups 3.11.7

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
cups-1.4.8-5.fc15.x86_64
hplip-3.11.7-2.fc15.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. lpr propuesta1.pdf
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Nothing printed out, lpq(1) reports "ready and printing," which is a lie (O, it is ready but doesn't print). The objectionable file is one page.

Expected results:

Comment 1 Horst H. von Brand 2011-10-26 16:52:58 UTC
Forget to mention that I also tried to print from oowriter, also "Ready and printing" but nothing.

Converted to PS, prints fine:

$ pdf2ps propuesta1.pdf
lpr propuesta1.ps

poppler-0.16.7-1.fc15.x86_64, installed in July (and it used to work).

This looks like the problem:

D [26/Oct/2011:13:25:32 -0300] [Job 275] Error: /syntaxerror in (binary token, type=156)

If you convert the file using pdftops (not pdf2ps), and then view it using gs, do you get the same error?  Are you able to attach that PDF file?

It's because of this sort of thing:

dup 164 /currency put
dup 165 /yen put
dup 166 /-ù<9c>wµÔ<83> put
dup 167 /-ù<9c>wµÔ<83> put

dup 171 /-ù<9c>wµÔ<83> put

Looks like a poppler bug.

Comment 8 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 17:24:55 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached 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, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

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
