Package: foomatic-filters Version: 4.0-20090509-1 Severity: normal *** Please type your report below this line *** I have found the reason why the old workaround has stopped working.
The file currently available at: http://www.linuxprinting.org/ppd-o-matic.cgi?driver=hl1250&printer=Brother-HL-1430&show=0 (suggested in the old workaround) is currently damaged. Probably a few days ago I have reconfigured the printer and downloaded the PPD from www.linuxprinting.org . Its lines 250 to 270 look like this: *OpenUI *HalftoningAlgorithm/Halftoning Algorithm: PickOne *FoomaticRIPOption HalftoningAlgorithm: enum CmdLine C *OrderDependency: 1000 PageSetup *HalftoningAlgorithm *DefaultHalftoningAlgorithm: Standard *HalftoningAlgorithm Accurate/Accurate: "%% FoomaticRIPOptionSetting: HalftoningAlgorithm=Accurate" *FoomaticRIPOptionSetting HalftoningAlgorithm=Accurate: " -c '/De&& fault << /SpotFunction { 180 mul cos exch 180 mul cos add 2 div && } bind /HalftoneType 1 /AccurateScreens true /Frequency 137 /Angle 37 && /HalftoneName (Round Dot Screen) >> /Halftone defineresource set&& halftone << /HalftoneMode 1 /UseWTS false /Accura" *End *HalftoningAlgorithm Standard/Standard: "%% FoomaticRIPOptionSetting: HalftoningAlgorithm=Standard" *FoomaticRIPOptionSetting HalftoningAlgorithm=Standard: "" *HalftoningAlgorithm WTS/Well-Tempered Screening: "%% FoomaticRIPOptionSetting: HalftoningAlgorithm=WTS" *FoomaticRIPOptionSetting HalftoningAlgorithm=WTS: " -c '/Default&& << /SpotFunction { 180 mul cos exch 180 mul cos add 2 div } bin&& d /HalftoneType 1 /AccurateScreens true /Frequency 137 /Angle 37 /Half&& toneName (Round Dot Screen) >> /Halftone defineresource sethalft&& one << /HalftoneMode 1 /UseWTS true /Accurat" *End *CloseUI: *HalftoningAlgorithm As you can seem the FoomaticRIPOptionSetting definitions are truncated. The right way to go is to use the /usr/share/ppd/openprinting.org-gs/Brother/Brother-HL-1430-hl1250.ppd.gz provided by the foomatic-filters-ppds package. This file (at least today - the version Version: 20080528-2.1) contains the correct PPD (lines 245-271): *OpenGroup: Adjustment/Adjustment *OpenUI *HalftoningAlgorithm/Halftoning Algorithm: PickOne *FoomaticRIPOption HalftoningAlgorithm: enum CmdLine C *OrderDependency: 1000 PageSetup *HalftoningAlgorithm *DefaultHalftoningAlgorithm: Standard *HalftoningAlgorithm Accurate/Accurate: "%% FoomaticRIPOptionSetting: HalftoningAlgorithm=Accurate" *FoomaticRIPOptionSetting HalftoningAlgorithm=Accurate: " -c '/De&& fault << /SpotFunction { 180 mul cos exch 180 mul cos add 2 div && } bind /HalftoneType 1 /AccurateScreens true /Frequency 137 /Angle 37 && /HalftoneName (Round Dot Screen) >> /Halftone defineresource set&& halftone << /HalftoneMode 1 /UseWTS false /AccurateScreens true && >> setuserparams'" *End *HalftoningAlgorithm Standard/Standard: "%% FoomaticRIPOptionSetting: HalftoningAlgorithm=Standard" *FoomaticRIPOptionSetting HalftoningAlgorithm=Standard: "" *HalftoningAlgorithm WTS/Well-Tempered Screening: "%% FoomaticRIPOptionSetting: HalftoningAlgorithm=WTS" *FoomaticRIPOptionSetting HalftoningAlgorithm=WTS: " -c '/Default&& << /SpotFunction { 180 mul cos exch 180 mul cos add 2 div } bin&& d /HalftoneType 1 /AccurateScreens true /Frequency 137 /Angle 37 /Half&& toneName (Round Dot Screen) >> /Halftone defineresource sethalft&& one << /HalftoneMode 1 /UseWTS true /AccurateScreens true >&g&& t; setuserparams'" *End *CloseUI: *HalftoningAlgorithm *CloseGroup: Adjustment Please do not "upgrade" the PPD Brother-HL-1430-hl1250.ppd in foomatic-filters-ppds to the current version from http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Brother-HL-1430 , as it is obviously damaged! Anyway the above diagnosis does not solve the problem with not working bundled driver for HL-1430. It only reenables the old workaround :-(. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (100, 'stable'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.31.4 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=pl_PL.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=pl_PL.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages foomatic-filters depends on: ii bash 4.0-4 The GNU Bourne Again SHell ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.28 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.10.1-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgs8 8.70~dfsg-2 The Ghostscript PostScript/PDF int ii perl 5.10.1-7 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii ucf 3.0024 Update Configuration File: preserv Versions of packages foomatic-filters recommends: ii a2ps 1:4.14-1 GNU a2ps - 'Anything to PostScript ii cups 1.4.1-4 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii cups-bsd [lpr] 1.4.1-4 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii cups-client 1.4.1-4 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii enscript 1.6.4-13 Converts ASCII text to Postscript, ii foomatic-db-engine 4.0-20090509-1 OpenPrinting printer support - pro ii ghostscript 8.70~dfsg-2 The GPL Ghostscript PostScript/PDF ii mpage 2.5.6-1 print multiple pages per sheet on foomatic-filters suggests no packages. -- debconf information: foomatic-filters/spooler: cups foomatic-filters/gspath: gs foomatic-filters/ps_accounting: false foomatic-filters/config_parsed: true foomatic-filters/textfilter: Automagic foomatic-filters/filter_debug: false foomatic-filters/custom_textfilter: foomatic-filters/custom_gspath: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
