[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1712019] Re: Driverless printing only prints a blank sheet 17.10

Great, thank you for the feedback. So my recommendation for getting a working printer is choose one which does driverless printing (the ones on which you can print from a phone: AirPrint, IPP Everywhere, Mopria, Wi-Fi Direct). Or an HP, as HPLIP continues to be developed. I hope in the Google

Re: [Desktop-packages] [Bug 1712019] Re: Driverless printing only prints a blank sheet 17.10

I can confirm that the fix works. Well done. I have used Ubuntu for many years and have installed it for family and friends. I initially recommended HP printers because HPLIP worked so well. 5 years ago we downsized and I wanted to archive a lot of stuff and HP did not have a suitable machine for

I have now fixed the problem myself in the PPD generator in cups-filters (and added the changes as a pathc for CUPS to the CUPS upstream report). Also Mike Sweet seems to be back from vacation and has already read my numerous bug reports. So as soon as cups-filters 1.17.1-0ubuntu1 gets onto your

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1712019] Re: Driverless printing only prints a blank sheet 17.10

Thank you for the tests. This means that the odd resolution (4800x1200 dpi) which got put into the "Normal" setting of the "cupsPrintQuality" option breaks it (as I assumed yesterday). You should be able to work around this if the print dialog of the application offers a "Print Quality" option

Re: [Desktop-packages] [Bug 1712019] Re: Driverless printing only prints a blank sheet 17.10

I have done these tests. a lot of fiddling with the files was necessary because they all have to be owned by root to work. The "old" ppd file produces draft, normal and high printouts as you would expect. The new PPD file produces draft and high output but normal just ejects a blank sheet. This

Re: [Desktop-packages] [Bug 1712019] Re: Driverless printing only prints a blank sheet 17.10

I apologise for doubting you I think the fault is in the PPD file. I have a second computer for my grandchildren and visitors and this also has a network printer. This is usually turned off and I use the one in my study (WF). I have turned the printer on (XP) and this is recognised by the clean

Re: [Desktop-packages] [Bug 1712019] Re: Driverless printing only prints a blank sheet 17.10

I think you discount a kernel problem too lightly. When CUPS has started a print job it has to send it to the printer. In my case over the network. This involves the kernel and or the network driver. I have just tried the daily build of Ubuntu Gnome - the browser can not find google and ubuntu

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1712019] Re: Driverless printing only prints a blank sheet 17.10

First, the kernel has no influence to printing results. All the printing logic is happening in user space. Please do the following tests and tell in which cases you get useful printouts (and if so, also tell whether there are quality differences, the PPD files are ones which you had attached in

Re: [Desktop-packages] [Bug 1712019] Re: Driverless printing only prints a blank sheet 17.10

There is no dialog to print in draft either in printing from LibreOffice or from chrome. If I add another printer and it searches for a driver then draft printing is on the menu but printing still does not work. I deleted the PPD files from etc/cups/ppd and copied the old (17.04) PPD file into

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1712019] Re: Driverless printing only prints a blank sheet 17.10

The problem you see in the PPDs. Resolutions are different. So can you try to set the Print Quality to Draft to see whether it prints? Another test is creating a new queue with the OLD PPD file. Can you print with this queue, Print Quality set to Norml or High? -- You received this bug

I think these files are the same. It took me a little while to realise that on filename uses hyphens and the other underscores. Otherwise they are the same. On 22 August 2017 at 09:24, Roderic Jones wrote: > Here are the two files > > Good luck > > On 21 August 2017 at
