Package: cups-filters Version: 1.0.18-2.1+deb7u1 Severity: important Tags: patch
When upgrading my system from Squeeze to Wheezy, my printer stopped working. It's a HP LaserJet 4000, installed with Cups, HPLIP, using the PostScript PPD. The printer has plenty of memory (384KB). The print job would take a long time on the PC before being sent to the printer. The printer processing light blink for a long time, and either print an error or just stop processing and output nothing. There is no way to get a page out of it for normal application, unless the document is dead simple. Similarly, test pages from HPLIP works fine. After scouring the web, part of the fix is to change the PDF to PS renderer. The document claim loss os color accuracy when doing it, as the printer is B/W, probably nothing was lost. I don't understand why it's not the default for those old printers. The magic command is : lpadmin -p <printer-name> -o pdftops-renderer-default=pdftops Note that the default PostScript PPD for the 4000 is buggy, but that's another bug report. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.4 APT prefers proposed-updates APT policy: (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages cups-filters depends on: ii fonts-freefont-ttf [ttf-freefont] 20120503-1 ii fonts-liberation 1.07.2-6 ii ghostscript 9.05~dfsg-6.3+deb7u1 ii libc6 2.13-38+deb7u1 ii libcups2 1.5.3-5+deb7u1 ii libcupsfilters1 1.0.18-2.1+deb7u1 ii libcupsimage2 1.5.3-5+deb7u1 ii libfontconfig1 2.9.0-7.1 ii libgcc1 1:4.7.2-5 ii libijs-0.35 0.35-8 ii liblcms2-2 2.2+git20110628-2.2 ii libpoppler19 0.18.4-6 ii libstdc++6 4.7.2-5 ii ttf-dejavu 2.33-3 ii ttf-freefont 20120503-1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.7.dfsg-13 Versions of packages cups-filters recommends: pn colord <none> ii foomatic-filters 4.0.17-1 ii ghostscript-cups 9.05~dfsg-6.3+deb7u1 Versions of packages cups-filters suggests: ii foomatic-db 20120523-1 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
