Is it correct that you have "-dDisableFAPI=true" in /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstoraster according to https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=692356#c17 but this does not help here? Does it happen for black areas in any file format? Does it also happen for black areas in PostScript files? E.g. try /usr/share/ghostscript/9.00/examples/colorcir.ps Does it happen for black areas only in any PDF file? Does it happen for black areas only in particular PDF files? You wrote "okular and force rasterization works". Does printing the PDF from the Adobe Reader also work? -- 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.

(Gutenprint 5.2.7-30.1-x86_64) Yes, this is a different issue. But in bug #692356 you found a way to reproduce that problem without a printer... No -dDisableFAPI=true does not help. Color circle prints OK Converting the PDF to PS using pdf2ps (no options) works (prints OK)...!? (Bug in builtin pdf to ps convertion?) Do not print this kinds of documents often... Acrobat Reader, works! But using the command line that it says it uses does not...

Tried with all LanguageLevels for pdf2ps - all worked. So how does CUPS do it? Found cupsfilter This postscript file gives the errounous result when printing but looks OK when viewed in okular! Two questions to investigate... 1) ps2ps - optimization stage? 2) Why do I get the DEBUG output?

Perhaps the root cause is in /usr/bin/pdftops ? Bin Li, could you have a look at this issue to find out whether or not the root cause is in pdftops that black areas are not printed when the PostScript is made by pdftops from a PDF. Roger Larsson, when you print a PDF from the Adobe Reader, the Adobe Reader itself converts the PDF to PS so that the Adobe Reader sends PS to CUPS. Apparently the Adobe Reader PDF to PS conversion works best here (it is known that often the Adobe Reader works best to print PDF) to that at least for now you should use the Adobe Reader to print PDF (regardless that the Adobe Reader is non-free software). You may have a look at "Background Information" in http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:How_to_Report_a_Printing_Issue and for some more detail you may have a look at "The Filter" in http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_in_a_Nutshell /usr/sbin/cupsfilter is a binary which does via commandline the same as the CUPS filtering system does when printing, see "man cupsfilter". -- 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.

If I bring it up in 'okular' or 'gs' it views correctly. So the output PS file might be OK - try to print it on a PS printer or render it with pstopnm or to tiff

I put most of the blame on the postscript renderer. (pdftops uses some feature not used by pdf2ps thad does not render correctly) Maybe even low level problem - might use some rectangle drawing ESC command not imlemented on my 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.
