Public bug reported:
Recently I have run into issues printing to my Minolta-QMS PagePro 1250E
black&white laser printer, supposed to support PostScript Level 2
(emulation).
The printer has started to print ASCII text, apparently PS source code
in a staircase pattern on several sheets (before I abort). This is the
case for all kinds of output/sources.
I use the attached PPD for the printer, which is working fine on Mac OS
X and on Windows and had been working OK a few months ago on linux.
After running into issues I have also used the PPD in the default
repository, which does also not work.
I have tried ghostscript as filter as well as poppler. I have attached
PS output generated with cupsfilter for poppler 0.24.1, ghostscript 9.09
and Mac OS X (cups 1.63 on linux, cups 1.6.2 on Mac OS X).
When sending the generated files to the printer with netcat the Mac OS X
one prints just fine, whereas the files generated with poppler and
ghostscript do print the staircased ASCII output mentioned before. I
cannot pinpoint after what changes/updates in cups/poppler/ghostscript
linux printing started to fail, but it appears to have been caused by
some changes in the past two months.
