** Description changed:
Since the upgrade to Ubuntu 12 precise I cannot change my print settings
anymore.
We have a Xerox 6121MFP printers, which up to 11.10 worked great with 6115MFP
drivers (6121 were not present until the latest release).
I tried creating the printer, both from Gnome and from Cups web interface,
then tried again with 6115 drivers. In all cases documents are always printed
with the default settings.
So, if upon printer installation I set single-sided printing and monochrome,
later on I cannot print in duplex mode or in color mode. I tried setting up the
printer in duplex mode as default settings, then I wasn't able anymore to print
in single sided.
Installed cups version 1.5.2-9ubuntu1
+
+ [Impact] Option settings are not respected for all printers with foo2zjs
+ drivers ("Foomatic/foo2...") and with Foomatic-based PostScript drivers
+ ("Foomatic/Postscript"). For users of other Foomatic-based drivers
+ ("Foomatic/...") often one option setting gets dropped.
+
+ [Test Case] To reproduce without having the appropriate printer (foo2zjs
+ must be installed):
+
+ cupsctl FileDevice=yes
+ cupsctl LogLevel=debug
+ lpadmin -p test -E -v file:/tmp/printout -m
foo2zjs:0/ppd/foo2zjs/Xerox-Phaser_6115MFP.ppd
+ lpoptions -p test -l
+ lp -d test -o Duplex=DuplexNoTumble -o ColorMode=ICM ~/.bashrc
+
+ "lpoptions -p test -l" shows that ColorMode is Monochrome and Duplex is
+ None (default settings). With the current package the "lp" command
+ produces a monochrome printout without duplex. You can see it in the
+ error_log. Look at the lines with "[Job <job number>]" in it. The job
+ with the current (buggy) package has, after the "File: <STDIN>" line,
+ lines with "Option: ColorMode=Monochrome" and "Option: Duplex=None", the
+ job with the proposed (fixed) package has "Option: ColorMode=ICM" and
+ "Option: Duplex=DuplexNoTumble" instead, so the command-line supplied
+ options are obeyed with the new package.
+
+ [Regression Potential] The two fixes in the C code are trivial fixes,
+ regressions cannot be caused by them.
