Hanssen <terje@nordland-teknikk.no> 2014-08-11 17:44:54 UTC --- As a workaround I've found out that using the older Lexmark X940 PPD driver is able to print out on paper also on the Lexmark X950 printer. -- 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.

Hanssen <terje@nordland-teknikk.no> 2014-08-12 18:51:32 UTC --- Further testing on openSUSE Tumbleweed (13.1 based) and Gnome 3.12.2 shows that printing from LibreOffice makes output on paper on Lexmark X950, so does also command line printing i.e 'ls | lp -d Lexmark_X950'. Gnome Eye (jpg), Evince (pdf), Firefox and Mozilla printing makes no output on paper. The print jobs are however being marked as completed and then removed from the queu, but without output on paper. It looks like the prints never reach the printer machine. (In comparision, a corresponding printer setup works for all application printing on SLED 11 SP3. Might the reason be different cups versions?) -- 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.

Hanssen <terje@nordland-teknikk.no> 2014-08-12 22:21:30 UTC --- Ok, I wasn't aware there were any difference so I tried also driver installation from the Lexmark X950 driver CD. It's .install_ppd.sh script obviously added the fax-pnh-filter. This filter is a helper script to provide dynamic username & hostname for Fax and Print & Hold print jobs. Therefore I've made a new, "clean" driver installation with zypper and printer setup with YaST2.

To verify this switch on in your printer that it prints out an error message page when its built-in PostScript interpreter fails to process the PostScript. If your printer then prints such an error message page, provide its content here. If it is ony a few lines you may type them, otherwise perhaps a PNG image of that page as attachment is better. Perhaps this could help to indicate what the problem is with the PostScript that your printer gets from most applications. Additionally please attach both your older Lexmark X940 PPD that works for you and your PPD file for Lexmark X950 as MIME type "text/plain" attachments. I need your actual /etc/cups/ppd/queue_name.ppd files to ensure that I have exactly your PPDs so that I could compare them. Please note http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:How_to_Report_a_Printing_Issue --------------------------------------------------------------- In particular when a printing issue depends on the printer model (e.g. a driver does not work or results bad printout quality for a particular printer model), we (i.e. openSUSE) usually do not have such a printer model to reproduce it so that there is basically nothing what we could do in such cases. --------------------------------------------------------------- -- 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.

"To get what the application submits to CUPS" at http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:How_to_Report_a_Printing_Issue Then print from those applications where it does not work for you and inspect the print job data files /var/spool/cups/d<job_nummer>-001 by using "pdfinfo" what the "creator/producer" of the PDF is, for example on my machine: ------------------------------------------------------------------- root@host:/var/spool/cups # pdfinfo d00001-001 Creator: cairo 1.9.5 (http://cairographics.org) Producer: cairo 1.9.5 (http://cairographics.org) Tagged: no Form: none Pages: 3 Encrypted: no Page size: 612 x 792 pts (letter) Page rot: 0 File size: 128468 bytes Optimized: no PDF version: 1.5 ------------------------------------------------------------------- -- 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.

According to comment#11 it seems to work with the PPDs for the Lexmark X950 in our current OpenPrintingPPDs packages. FYI: The newest packages for the base printing system are available for various openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise versions in the "Printing" development project in the openSUSE build service for 32-bit i586 and 64-bit x86_64 architecture. For example for openSUSE 13.1 from this direct URL http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Printing/openSUSE_13.1/ (some packages like OpenPrintingPPDs are in the "noarch" subdirectory). Please read https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=Printing in particular note therein: ========================================================= The "Printing" project may contain new, upcoming software. Therefore the packages in the "Printing" project might neither be in a stable state nor fit well into currently installed systems. Have this in mind if you think about to install packages from the "Printing" project into your currently running system. Do not use "Factory" if your system is not "Factory". Use the matching packages for your particular system. The packages in the "Printing" project are only for testing, without any guarantee or warranty, and without any support. As an extreme example, this means if your complete computer center crashes because of those packages, it is only your problem. On the other hand this does not mean that those packages are known to be terrible broken but they are not thoroughly tested so that any unexpected issue can happen. ========================================================= -- 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.
