Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 8776
hp 812 with dj500-UP filter
Last modified: 2008-05-01 11:37:54 EDT
Actually any filter I use with the hp 812c printer. It prints the job just fine, and spits the pages out, etc. But then the form feed light comes on, and continues blinking until I push it, at which time it clears the printer of the print job. Just annoying because I have to hit form-feed for no reason. Send EOF and fix stairstepping are both enabled.
You should use the cdj880 driver. Look at http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/pht/printer_list.cgi?make=HP&format=full for details.
It still happens wtih the cdj880. It also happens with plain old cat file>/dev/lp0, only you have to hit form-feed before the job will print, instead of it printing before the problem occurs. I'm not sure what package this bug actually belongs to.
Does this help: cat >formfeed.c <<EOF #include <stdio.h> main() { FILE *f=fopen("/dev/lp0", "w"); fprintf(f, "%c", 12); } EOF gcc -O2 formfeed.c ./a.out ?
Closing due to lack of user input
