-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi everyone, I just tried to print from a windows software piece (RAILY 4) that rund via wine. The print job succeeded (it was a railroad layout), but all the text is upside down! The text is located correctly, the drawing itself is not changed, and the text is printed left to right - but the letters are all feet up! And CUPS does not show a possibility to change this, there is no option like "T-Shirt/mirrored printout" or alike for my HP PSC 1410. The driver identifies as "HP PSC 1400 Series, hpcups 3.11.1.19". In hp-printsettings, I see an option "Mirror printing", but this is set to "Off". I installed the printer again with another name via hp-setup, but to no avail - the text still is hard to read ;-) Installed packages are: cups-1.4.6-62.1.x86_64 cups-backends-1.0-269.1.x86_64 cups-client-1.4.6-62.1.x86_64 cups-devel-1.4.6-62.1.x86_64 cups-drivers-1.3.9-37.1.x86_64 cups-libs-1.4.6-62.1.x86_64 cups-libs-32bit-1.4.6-62.1.x86_64 cups-pdf-2.5.0-2.1.x86_64 cups-pk-helper-0.1.0-4.1.x86_64 hp2xx-3.4.2-572.1.x86_64 hplip-3.11.1-35.1.x86_64 hplip-hpijs-3.11.1-35.1.x86_64 wine-1.3.12-83.1.x86_64 wine-32bit-1.3.12-83.1.i586 wine-doors-0.1.3-2.1.noarch wine-gecko-1.0.0-1.4.x86_64 wine-mp3-1.1.39-1.pm.14.1.i586 I have no idea who or what is responsible for this behaviour.

I have no idea who or what is responsible for this behaviour. Any hints? Everything went well four weeks ago, but in the meantime there were several updates, at least CUPS an WINE are new.

If just the single letters are bottom-up it is probably a Wine issue. Did it work before? Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hi Marcus, yes, it worked fine at least on 2010-12-30, since I have one railroad layout designed on that date and printed it out, and everything ist fine. It's in front of me, beneath today's printout, that has hardly legible text... What do you mean by "just the single letters"? It's every letter and number in the drawing plus the info box at one corner of the page. The drawing itself ist not upside down, and the text is showing up at the correct places. I can export the drawing as a graphical image file, but unfortunately, the text is not exported when using wine (it never was), only when the software runs under windoze the text shows up in the exported bmp-file. But until now it was printed correctly... Well, since the drawing is OK, I believe that it is not a CUPS issue. Should I open a bug in openSUSE's bug tracker?

It seems to be a Wine bug then.... Either openSUSE bugtracker or Wine bugtracker. The first would reach me ;) Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Ciao, Marcus

Marcus, thank you! I had a lot of work in the office and was not able to dig this deep enough to open a bug because of this problem. Like Robert Riches said on the bug page: "Too many high priority things needing to be done." :-\ Best regards - and THANKS Werner -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Disable printing for the print queue (as root "cupsdisable queue_name") then send the same print job from wine. The print job data should appear as /var/spool/cups/d... file. A assume wine sends PostScript data as print job data. Test it as root with "file /var/spool/cups/d..." which must result ------------------------------------------------------------------- ... PostScript document text ... ------------------------------------------------------------------- If this is true, view the PostScript print job data as root with "gs /var/spool/cups/d..." (hit [Ctrl]+[C] to exit Ghostscript). Afterwards re-enabel printing (as root "cupsenable queue_name"). If the letters are feet up in the PostScript print job data, the software which made the PostScript is responsible (i.e. wine or whatever software which is called by wine). If the PostScript print job data looks correct, some filtering software in the printing system is responsible. Perhaps it is the actual printer driver, see http://en.opensuse.org/Concepts_printing for the difference between CUPS and the actual printer driver. Because you use the HPCUPS driver from HPLIP, have a look at https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=630696#c1 In short: The HPCUPS driver is know for strange results in some cases. In this case you may try out the HPIJS driver from HPLIP.
