Having upgraded to the latest cooker, specifically: cups-1.1.18-5mdk cups-drivers-1.1-93mdk gimpprint-4.2.5-7mdk foomatic-filters-3.0-0.beta1.20030203.1mdk
I observe the following strange behaviour: - Having set up my printer using the CUPS web interface, I can click on "Print Test Page", and the Mandrake Linux test page prints just fine. - However, if I open up kups and choose to print a test page, only the first couple of lines get printed, then the page is ejected. - If I open the test page in kview and press "Print", then I get a page completely covered in black ink. Not good. - If I try to print ANY PostScript file using lpr, or try to print from any program (kword, Mozilla, for example), I get a page full of black ink. Not good. I'm a total loss to figure out why. I have an HP DeskJet 895Cxi. I'm using the HP DeskJet 895C, CUPS+Gimp-Print v4.2.5 driver. Driver settings: - Output Mode: Colour. Changing this makes no difference in behaviour. - Resolution: 600x600 DPI. Changing this make no difference in behaviour. - Media Size: Letter, Media Type: Plain - STP: Brightness 1.0, Contrast 1.0, Cyan 1.0, Density 1.0, Dither Algorithm: Adaptive Hybrid, Gamma 1.0, Image Type: Solid Colours, Magenta: 1.0, Saturation: 1.0, Yellow: 1.0. Changing any of the above does not alter the behaviour observed. Prior to upgrading to Cooker (from a 9.0 install), the printer operatoed correctly. Any suggestions? -- Ryan T.
