Public bug reported:
Hi guys,
I'm using a Canon iR-ADV 5240 with a Ubuntu 15.10 machine, which comes
with a proprietary driver. The CUPS filters chain sends a pdf file
through the following filters: bannertopdf -> pdftopdf -> pdftops ->
pstoufr2cpca.
The printed product that comes out of the printer, has a flaw in the
typesetting at approx. 90% of each line. It's NOT persistent to the
width of the PAGE, but to the width of the LINE. Meaning, if a line has
only text through half of the page, the error is at approx. 90% of that
line.
Even a test page shows such problems: the surrounding line of the page
is printed double on the right side of the page, as if there was a
offset/shift of the stuff to be printed, which is superimposed with the
actually correct result. I'm sorry, its a bit difficult to explain. I've
attached scanned files to show the problem.
So far, my assumption is that during one filtering step, the
rastered/rendered product is messed up. However, the problem only
occures when I use the printer which need pstoufr2cpca as the final
filter step, to be converted into UFR.
If I used THE SAME DRIVER (same PPD, same pstoufr2cpca etc.) on a
DIFFERENT machine with a DIFFERENT Ubuntu (in this case, 14.04), there
was NO printing problem. Thats why I deduce that the driver itself is
not the problem. It must be an interplay between my version of the
filters and the driver.
Best regards,
Erik
