Your criticism is noted. However, this bug is already solved, or likely solved. HP just hasn't implemented the fix. And, there's likely no other solution aside from using capitol letters. ;-) It would be more helpful if you provided better information. As such, only seems two solutions, either use all capitol letters or buy another manufacturer's hardware. Nothing wrong with using all capitol letters when a bug not fixed with a resolution goes unoticed and unfixed for so long. It would also be rational for people to start thinking their printer is broken at the hardware level since a fix wasn't implemented upstream. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gtk+2.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/277404 Title: hp laserjet postscript text print does not print some characters To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/277404/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 277404] Re: hp laserjet postscript text print does not print some characters
I had to apply the workaround on post#35 (force level 2 in the PPD) here on Maverick (even with all the updates and the hplip PPA). The printer is a Laserjet 2605dn (and it works now). Note also that I changed the driver for the 2605 Postscript model (not the 2506dn Foomatic proposed by default). The Foomatic PPD doesn't have the problem discussed in this thread but have many others (lack of color options, jpeg and pdf GTK printing problems). My suggestion: This PPD (with the fix) should be proposed by default for future releases and updates (for this printer). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gtk+2.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/277404 Title: hp laserjet postscript text print does not print some characters To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/277404/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Roger, you are right that the HPLIP developers at HP also use this site as their upstream bug tracking system, but this particular bug report has an HPLIP upstream task which is marked invalid as it turned out that the problem described here is not a problem of HPLIP. The problem is a Poppler upstream bug and all Ubuntu package tasks marked as fixed here are indeed workarounds, making Poppler only generating PostScript level 2 or replacing Poppler by Ghostscript (the latter is done in Oneiric) due to lack of a fix in Poppler upstream. Plaes continue discussion in the Poppler upstream bug (as you already do). This is the real culprit and these developers have to provide a fix. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gtk+2.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/277404 Title: hp laserjet postscript text print does not print some characters To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/277404/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 277404] Re: hp laserjet postscript text print does not print some characters
I've posted this over in freedesktop bug #19640 as well. (See references at top of page.) My printer is a HP M1522NF I'm seeing a similar bug to this too, except only one or two fonts are replaced with a square/rectangle char. Changing postscript level within the ppd file only works around the problem. I first noticed this with using Abiword. Open abiword and enter the available chars of the alphabet with numbers (ie. ABC..., abc..., 123...) and print using cups. Even printing to file and transfering the .ps file to and printing from Windows shows this problem. Another method to find the problem, is create or view a webpage using utf-8 and print a list of chars (similar to above). I happened across this method by finding and randomly printing a website within Seamonkey. www-client/seamonkey-2.3.1-2.3.3 (I haven't tested the specific site since 2.3.1 or 2.3.2??) app-text/poppler-0.16.7 app-office/abiword-2.8.6-r1 app-text/ghostscript-gpl-8.7.1-r6 net-print/hplip-3.11.7 Oh, hplip comes with several ppd files for this device. Using the pcl ppd file which specifies PS Level 3, does print all chars just fine. (However the file printed has some unusually high margins -- but everything here is set to print Letter and not A4 or Legal.) A little more info, the HP M1522 is a PS Level 2 with PS Level 3 emulation. Does this matter?

Could someone who can reproduce this bug test the attached files.

[I posted this to the poppler bug, but it may be of interest here, too. -JimC] The reason the level3 ghostscript generates does not cause the problem is that ghostscript’s level3 is essentially the same as its level2; only the name of the procset is different. Xpdf, OTOH, does generate different code for level2 and level3. The significant difference seen in ps generated from the posted example pdf is that xpdf, when generating level3 ps, embeds CID keyed fonts as CID keyed fonts. The question, then, is: do the HP printers have bugs when dealing with CID keyed type42 fonts in PostScript jobs, or is Xpdf’s CID-related PS code buggy? A related question is whether CID keyed type1 fonts also have problems. The test would be to send the printer pstopdf -level3 output of a PDF which has CID keyed cff fonts embedded.

[Bug 277404] Re: hp laserjet postscript text print does not print some characters
pitti, the fix in CUPS is a workaround. It simply makes the pdftops filter of Intrepid (Poppler-based) never generating PostScript level 3 (pdftops of Jaunty is Ghostscript-based). The HPLIP task is for HP to fix the PPDs of all HP PostScript printers which are faulty in PostScript Level 3. The Poppler task is there as it is not excluded that the PostScript Level 3 generated by Poppler is broken. foomatic-db also ships the PPDs from HP, so if HP fixes them, also foomatic-db needs to be updated. Closing all these tasks for Intrepid ... ** Changed in: hplip (Ubuntu Intrepid) Status: New = Invalid ** Changed in: poppler (Ubuntu Intrepid) Status: New = Invalid ** Changed in: foomatic-db (Ubuntu Intrepid) Status: New = Invalid -- hp laserjet postscript text print does not print some characters https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/277404 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gtk+2.0 in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 277404] Re: hp laserjet postscript text print does not print some characters
The CUPS package in Jaunty uses a Ghostscript-based pdftops filter and so the problem should not occur there. To get the problem solved in Intrepid I suggest an SRU on CUPS letting pdftops only producing PostScript level 2. This is understood by all PostScript level 3 printers and is sophisticated enough to print all jobs. This does not mean that no fix is needed in HPLIP. There is still a bug in amny PostScript level 3 printers from HP, so the HP developers should supply an appropriate workaround in the PPD files coming with HPLIP. There are enough users which are using HPLIP with an unpatched version of CUPS 1.3.9 or older. ** Also affects: cups (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: cups (Ubuntu) Status: New = Fix Released -- hp laserjet postscript text print does not print some characters https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/277404 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gtk+2.0 in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Can you try to make your application do the exact same printout but with another font?

You can try to add psEmbedTrueTypeFonts no to /etc/xpdf/xpdfrc, but note that it can cause font problems with other documents. This is only a workaround, not a fix. Another possibility is that the bug is in font embedding done by pdftops. ** Also affects: poppler (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: poppler (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Medium Status: New = Incomplete -- hp laserjet postscript text print does not print some characters https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/277404 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gtk+2.0 in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

To easily reproduce the problem do wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21294491/d00022-001 pdftops -level3 -paper A4 d00022-001 l3.ps pdftops -level2 -paper A4 d00022-001 l2.ps pdftops -level2 -noembtt -paper A4 d00022-001 l2noembtt.ps Then send the files unfiltered to a PostScript printer from HP. Ghostscript displays all files correctly on the screen. The two -level2 calls give the same output, so the problem is not the font embedding, but the difference in PostScript Level 2 and Level 3 output of pdftops. The Level 3 output (l3.ps) shows the problem, the Level 2 output (l2*.ps) not. The real fix would be to fix Poppler, a workaround would be to patch the pdftops CUPS filter to never call the Poppler pdftops with -level3. -- hp laserjet postscript text print does not print some characters https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/277404 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gtk+2.0 in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

There may be another work around:
Open the file:
/etc/cups/ppd/{nameofdriverfile}.ppd
with a root-permissioned text editor. About line number 70, in the
section named Basic Device Capabilities, find the line that reads:
*LanguageLevel: 3
and change the 3 to 2. Save and restart CUPS:
sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart
and test. This work-around mitigates the problem on both Intrepid and
Jaunty 64-bit installations.

[Bug 277404] Re: hp laserjet postscript text print does not print some characters
As lp3.ps displays correctly with Ghostscript (gs l3.ps) it is possible that we are hitting a bug of the PostScript interpreters in many HP printers here (or even more than one bug, as the HP LaserJet P3005 crashes). So it is not necessarily to be fixed in Poppler but by perhaps by HP in their PPDs. The simplest fix HP could do is following Ron Morse's suggestion to switch their PPDs to PostScript Level 2 by changing the *LanguageLevel: lines. Perhaps their are more sophisticated solutions, like adding a *JobPatchFiles, but this only the developers at HP can now.
