Public bug reported:
Starting a few weeks ago, sometimes trying to print ends up printing
pages and pages of garbage/junk/mojibake.
It's not all the time. Printer drivers are somewhat mysterious, because
if I delete them, they automatically reappear. Often a program will list
two printer drivers for the one printer, and one of them prints okay
while the other prints garbage, and it's not at all obvious which is
which.
This affects two Ubuntu PCs, one a desktop running Ubuntu 20.04.1, the
other a laptop running Lubuntu 20.04.1.
The printer is on the network. I guess the computers find it via
Zeroconf.
The problem seems to be Ubuntu, rather than the printer, because
printing from a Windows PC works fine. And, for months, printing from
Ubuntu also worked fine.
I also noticed earlier, several months back, that double-sided printing
was misbehaving, always flipping on the short edge rather than the long
edge, no matter which was selected. Short edge is the setting I usually
don't want -- the other side is effectively upside down.
I have also noticed that selecting 2 or more copies doesn't print
multiple copies, but just one copy.
