[Bug 598902] Re: Confusing printer properties for HP 2605
The same problem appears with a HP Color LaserJet CP1515n. Same confusing color options, and no way to specify which printing mode will be used for my print job. Is there a fixed PPD available for this printer? ** Summary changed: - Confusing printer properties for HP 2605 + Confusing printer properties for some HP printers -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/598902 Title: Confusing printer properties for some HP printers -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Steven Flintham, Can you please check weather Image Quality options, Halftone, RGB Color, Neutral Grays options are coming on your machine. also, please do print using these options.

Please replace attached PPD file in comment #9 in /etc/cups/ppd directory and restart CUPS (/etc/init.d/cups restart) to check GUI options.

[Bug 598902] Re: Confusing printer properties for HP 2605
Thanks a lot, I can confirm that the halftone etc options no longer have 'duplicate' names. I can also see a 'Printer Resolution' option under 'Image Quality'. I must admit I am now confused as to how this works, since I can apparently specify the resolution there *and* in the 'Print Color as Gray' option. If 'Print Color as Grey' was a simple yes/no choice, it would make sense, but it allows me to choose resolution as well. I have performed a couple of test printouts and they worked; I am not going to pretend I am enough of an expect to distinguish whether the options are working correctly. -- Confusing printer properties for HP 2605 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/598902 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 598902] Re: Confusing printer properties for HP 2605
Yes, options are confusing user. But, each options has its own specification. Halftone, RGB Color, Neutral Grays in first set are for text, second set are for Graphics and third set are for Photo. I have updated PPD as show GUI will show with text, Graphics and Photo entries. Please let me know, if need more updates.

Thank you for the fixed PPD. For users with English UI and for users with UIs which do not support internationalized PPDs the PPD is OK now, but the translations are not fixed. Non-English display of the options still shows the confusing interface with equally-named options. Please fix also the translations. -- Confusing printer properties for HP 2605 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/598902 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thank Till for reviewed the changes. Localisation has been done, yet to look at Image quality options.

[Bug 598902] Re: Confusing printer properties for HP 2605
The PPD for the HP Color LaserJet 2605 in PostScript mode is broken. This is an upstream bug of HPLIP as this PPD is shipped with HPLIP. Moving to HPLIP and adding upstream task on HPLIP ... Problems are the following: 1. The group HPImagingOptions (Image Quality) does not contain any option (*OpenUI: ... *CloseUI:). Groups in PPDs are only for UI options, empty group definitions or group definitions which bracket only non-UI stuff have to be removed. 2. In the Color options group there are different options which have the same UI string, so these options appear with the same name in printing and printer setup dialogs. There should never be two or more options with the same UI string in any language. Also no options should have two or more choices with the same UI string. This seems not to break Adobe compliance and so cupstestppd does not complain about these problems, but it need to get fixed to not get such confusing user interfaces. ** Package changed: cups (Ubuntu) = hplip (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: hplip (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Medium ** Changed in: hplip (Ubuntu) Status: New = Triaged ** Also affects: hplip Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: hplip Status: New = Confirmed -- Confusing printer properties for HP 2605 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/598902 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 598902] Re: Confusing printer properties for HP 2605
Thanks for such a clear and prompt response. You say the PPD for this printer *in Postscript mode* is broken. Is there another non-Postscript PPD which works better (and if so how can I install it), or am I reading too much into your words? My driver selection dialog lists the driver I reported the bug against and one more, 'HP Color Laserjet 2605 Foomatic/Postscript [en]' driver, but that doesn't appear to support colour printing at all.
