Hi,
today I had the chance to test cups with a pcl5e Printer (Brother
HL-2030), funny thing, the message "PDF file is damaged - attempting to
reconstruct xref table..." is the same, BUT it does print the testpage
document! One can see that message briefly while the printjob is
processed and after the job is finished (and printed out correctly) the
status of the printer changes to idle with the message above and
mentioned earlier. A simple texdocument from e.g. within gedit (Gnome
texteditor) does not show this message and the document is printed out
fine too.
Another thing I forgot to mention in the last post, the Kyocera printers
tend to stay "busy" when I try to test something. They don't enter
energy-saving mode and make a lot of noise (the same noise that happens
directly before a printout) and never stop doing that. No idea if that
puts unnecessary strain on the printers but it could and thus makes this
issue maybe even more dramatic.
My current assumption is that somewhere "in between" the postscript data
is mangled the wrong way and thus confusing the printers, as non
postscript printers are not affacted (apart from the same "PDF file is
damaged..." message) but the cups / gnome testpages are iirc just
Postscript-documents and thus the message is the same...
regards
Michael
