[opensuse-factory] tumbleweed ps-printer firefox / thunderbird not printing
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, tumbleweed20171109+kde i recognized at the moment that firefox and thunderbird will not print on old postscript (non pdf) printers. (on pdf printers printing fine) i am not 100% shure if this has to do with one of the last updates from tumbleweed in last month, because i do printing verry seldom on this system, maybe i have never printed since install in august 2017, and this is a normal behavior? (with old cups (ps standart) and verry old opensuse versions never had any problems. starting ff or tb in cosole, when i open the printing or the "setup page" dialog i get always "failed to get find a colord device: The name org.freedesktop.ColorManager was not provided by any .service files" but i do not think that this has anithing to do with the printing/not printing (because also on pdf printers this message appears). printing from libreoffice, evince, okular or gimp works fine with tumbleweed and this old ps printers. in thunderbird i am able to print if i do "file" "setup page" and chose there the correct ps printer. the standard setting "portable dokument for all printers" will not work. in firefox trying same, "print-preview" "setup page" select the printer, but this still makes no printing. is this a bug of mozilla or of cups or of integration, or a wrong settings somewhere, and if a bug where should i report it? thanks simoN - -- B e c h e r e r GmbH Sondermaschinenbau Mauermatten Strasse 22 79183 Waldkirch Germany Tel.: (+49) (0)7681 3134 Fax: (+49) (0)7681 4378 Mail: info@becherer.de Web: www.becherer.de USt-ID-Nr.: DE 814912198 Registergericht: Freiburg HRB 701860 Geschäftsführer: Dipl.-Ing.

Newest CUPS versions have a new "automated print queue setup" feature (perhaps toghether with cups-browsed from the separated cups-filtesr software) where you may get automatically print queues setup with whatever "driver" the automatism "thinks" is o.k. cf. "Automated Printer Configuration" in https://en.opensuse.org/YaST_Printer Perhaps you use such an automatically setup print queue but that print queue setup does not work well for your printers? In general regarding PDF and printing see "PostScript: The traditional printing data format" versus "PDF: The recent printing data format" in https://en.opensuse.org/Concepts_printing
printing from libreoffice, evince, okular or gimp works fine with tumbleweed and this old ps printers.
This basically proves that the root cause is "inside" firefox and thunderbird or in whatever tool or library that is called by firefox and thunderbird to produce the printing output of firefox and thunderbird.
is this a bug of mozilla or of cups or of integration, or a wrong settings somewhere, and if a bug where should i report it?
In general regarding "How to Report a Printing Issue" see https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:How_to_Report_a_Printing_Issue In your particular case I would recommend therein the section "It always helps to simulate printout on a virtual generic PostScript printer" When printing fails for a particular application on such a virtual generic PostScript printer, the root cause is somehow "inside" the particular application.
