GS> produces an X11 window displaying the complete text of the landscape page, oriented in portrait mode. My interpretation of https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Landscape_Printing is that this is correct - the application is doing the rotation for landscape mode ? rod@jw870:/tmp> gs -r50 -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=nullpage /tmp/testq.odsout-20170103.ps GPL Ghostscript 9.20 (2016-09-26) Copyright (C) 2016 Artifex Software, In c. All rights reserved. This software comes with NO WARRANTY: see the file PUBLIC for details. For the first test to a real printer, I used the inkjet, Brother MFC J6910DW, as in March 2016. The PPD & filter come in an RPM from Brother web site - http://support.brother.com. mfcj6910dwcupswrapper-3.0.0-1.i386.rpm mfcj6910dwlpr-3.0.0-1.i386.rpm The RPM have not changed since 201211 and are the same as used for tests in 201603 I then repeated the tests to another real printer - the Brother product, MFC 9120CN, that has a Postscript interpreter. "print-job-data.save" files, produced as above, also report as file type PDF and give similar, truncated output with gs -r50 -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -dFIXEDMEDIA As this printer has three readily available PPD files I tried all. All gave similar results with Ghostscript tests. Results to real paper were: Brother's PPD from http://support.brother.com - correct hard copy (what appears to be a copy of the latter in /usr/share/cups/model/openPrinting/Brother) - locks up the printer foomatic PPD from /usr/share/cups/model/openPrinting/Brother- correct hard copy Which raises two questions 1 can this bug be closed ? 2 is "gs -r50 -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -dFIXEDMEDIA" still a reliable tool for troubleshooting ? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
