As long as I cannot reproduce it I can do nothing here. We won't do a partial version upgrade for Ghostscript to an arbitrary unstable "trunk" state. We would first of all try to find the exact bug and then try to fix this particular bug and finally we could provide a bugfix update package for Ghostscript. I close the issue for now as "worksforme". I re-open it when I can reproduce it.

I recently upgraded to openSUSE 11.4 (from 11.3) and now I have trouble printing. I have an Samsung ML-1610 grayscale laser printer, using the driver Splix 2.0.0. When I print images, all colors are inverted, meaning black is white and vice versa. On 11.3 this wasn't an issue. I tried to increase the RIPCache to 128m but this didn't do the trick.

Hansen, Björn Jacobs, Thomas Baumann, I would appreciate it very much if you could test it and provide feedback whether or not printing works o.k. for you. Thomas Baumann, FYI: for HPLIP the issue should happen only when you use the HPCUPS driver in HPLIP because HPCUPS uses the CUPS device in Ghostscript but not when you use the HPIJS driver in HPLIP because HPLIP does not use the CUPS device in Ghostscript but the IJS interface in Ghostscript for the external IJS driver /usr/bin/hpijs. I.e. when you set up another print queue for your HP printer using the HPIJS driver in HPLIP it should print correctly. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=681071 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=681071#c20 --- Comment #20 from Johannes Meixner 2011-04-21 11:27:20 UTC --- Thomas Baumann, please file a new bug report regarding your particular issue with the HPCUPS driver and attach your PDF which results the bad output so that I can reproduce it. Regarding "Unable to open the initial device" with the HPIJS driver you may add comments to bug #688614 which could help me to find out the root cause.

From what I see for now with the PDF in attachment #423966 which I got via bug 686195 it seems the CUPS device in Ghostscript produces good cups raster data.

I produce cups raster data manually using a command like cat /tmp/landscape.pdf \ | /usr/bin/gs -dQUIET -dPARANOIDSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH \ -dNOMEDIAATTRS -sDEVICE=cups -sstdout=%stderr \ -sOUTPUTFILE=%stdout -c -f -_ \ | cat >/tmp/landscape.cups.raster (The useful use of cat simulates what happens in the printing system - no "seek"-able or "stat"-able files but processing as data stream via pipes.) Afterwards I run rasterview /tmp/landscape.cups.raster and it looks o.k. - I have CUPS RasterView installed from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/jsmeix/ But then the HPCUPS driver seems to fail to print it correctly on my HP LaserJet 1020 so that from my current point of view it seems the CUPS device in Ghostscript is fixed but a different issue in the HPCUPS driver results an insufficient printout. If it is really a bug in the HPCUPS driver, we cannot fix it because we do not have the model-specific knowledge to fix bugs in the driver so that we could only "Report a Bug" at http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/support.html On the other hand with Ghostscript 8.70 the HPCUPS driver results a good printout which indicates that there are more issues in Ghostscript 9.00... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
