The guys at cups do not feel responsible for linux issues as documented in https://www.cups.org/str.php?L4715
In the meantime I further tracked it down: - Played around with printer drivers, using Kyocera's PPD, the PPD provided by ubuntu and also gave PPD from http://www.openprinting.org/download/printdriver/debian/dists/lsb3.2/main/binary-amd64/openprinting-ppds-postscript-kyocera_20130319-1lsb3.2_all.deb a try. - Tried to install lsb-printing package with no changes - Opened firefox tab about:config and resetted all user/custom variables which contain string "print" in variable name As all that did not work, I have created at least a test case: How-To-Repeat: - Print web page in firefox with all printing variables in firefox reset - Lookup the spooler file in /var/spool/cups - Try to print it directly with lpr command Test case 1 (works): - Print https://boerse.dab-bank.de/maerkte-kurse/aktien.html in firefox - top shows ghostscript (gs) and foomatic-rip process - The page is printed perfectly - I found a file in /var/spool/cups which I renamed to test1.pdf - Direct printing with works fine with cat test1.pdf | lpr -P fs-1020d -# 1 Test case 2 (does not work): - Print https://www.dab-bank.de/Service/Kontakt/ in firefox - top shows ghostscript (gs) and foomatic-rip process - The printer receives data (status LED) and heats up, but nothing is printed. Printer gets available again. - I found a file in /var/spool/cups which I renamed to test2.pdf - Direct printing also does not work with cat test2.pdf | lpr -P fs-1020d -# 1 Basically this could mean that my printer FS-1020d does not accept the content of test2.pdf while it most of the time works as shown with test1.pdf ** Attachment added: "test1.pdf and test2.pdf" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/802942/+attachment/4463487/+files/test-pdfs.tar.gz -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/802942 Title: printing PDFs (and other complex documents) from GTK applications fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/802942/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
