https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=711763 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=711763#c0 Summary: imagetoraster filter does not convert tiff file to cups raster properly. Resulting file has black band and clipped data. Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.4 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.4 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Printing AssignedTo: jsmeix@novell.com ReportedBy: sanjay.kumar14@hp.com QAContact: jsmeix@novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.15) Gecko/20110303 Ubuntu/10.10 (maverick) Firefox/3.6.15 when I try to print a tiff file from any hp printer, the print out has a black band printed and data is also corrupted. Culprit:imagetoraster filter does not convert tiff file to cups raster properly. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install HPLIP (HP Linux Imaging and printing ) latest version from hp website. 2.Try to print a tiff file. 3.See the printed output. Printed paper will have on black colored band in the middle page and top half of the data is printed in bottom half of the page and vice versa. Actual Results: Printed paper will have on black colored band in the middle page and top half of the data is printed in bottom half of the page and vice versa. Expected Results: Tiff image should get printed properly.i.e imagetoraster filter should do its job properly. Other distros like Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora etc. are not using this filter anymore for converting tiff file into cupsraster. Adding following lines in /usr/share/cups/mime/moime.types fixes the issue. image/tiff application/vnd.cups-postscript 0 imagetops application/vnd.cups-postscript application/vnd.cups-raster 0 pstoraster So there are two ways of fixing the issue. 1) Fix imagetoraster filter. 2) change the filter sequence in mime.type to give preference to imagetops -> pstoraster filters.

I close this bug report as "upstream" according to https://bugzilla.novell.com/page.cgi?id=fields.html#status "Responsibility for a bug is said to lie upstream when it is not caused through the distribution's porting efforts." We like to be "Compliance with Upstream CUPS", see http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Printing In the end it will neither work well nor does it really help when Linux distributions only work around issues instead of getting the root cause fixed. Please report the issue to the CUPS upstream project: http://www.cups.org/ usually via "Bugs & Features" which leads to http://www.cups.org/roadmap.php and there "Submit Bug or Feature Request". I don't know why there are two ways how image/tiff can be converted into application/vnd.cups-raster in mime.convs. Perhaps upstream CUPS agrees to simply remove the image/tiff application/vnd.cups-raster 100 imagetoraster conversion rule in mime.convs so that the only way is image/tiff application/vnd.cups-postscript 66 imagetops application/vnd.cups-postscript application/vnd.cups-raster 100 pstoraster Alternatively upstream CUPS may agree to adjust the costs like image/tiff application/vnd.cups-raster 200 imagetoraster so that this way is no longer used by default ("too expensive"). -- 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.
