Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: cups
My system is an up to date kubuntu jaunty 9.04
uname -a
Linux bombyx-z60m 2.6.28-12-generic #43-Ubuntu SMP Fri May 1 19:27:06 UTC 2009
i686 GNU/Linux
Since a few weeks, I think after upgrading from 8.10 to 9.04, printing
on Epson Laser ALC 2000 is badly broken. The file looks good on the
screen, either when viewed in okular (when it is a PDF file) or in
Openoffice (ooo files). However, the printed document is not usable: the
printed pages are almost correct except they are full of characters
printed twice (one above the other, see the scanned paperprint).
The mirrored letters depend on the font, typeface, size. On the included
sample, notice the systematically mirrored bold "e", bold "o", thin "c"
and "C". Other documents had problem on "a" or "0" (zero). Changing the
character size or style may be a workaround when possible. I tried ppd
(Epson-AcuLaser_C2000PS-epalc200.ppd and Epson-
AcuLaser_C2000-eplaser.ppd) downloaded from openprinting.org without
success (I think it was byte to byte the same as the one already
installed).
Best regards.
