** Description changed: Binary package hint: foomatic-filters George Liu from Ricoh reports that on most Ricoh printers Duplex does not work when the "Collate" option is set. See also http://forums.linux-foundation.org/read.php?34,5425 I can reproduce this also on Ubuntu Hardy following the steps which George has sent to me e-mail (see below) and using the files which George has given to me (attached). I have fixed the bug upstream and I - am reporting it here to request a Freeze exception. + am reporting it here to request an SRU. + + See the steps to reproduce below. The impact is that Duplex will not + work correctly on most Ricoh printers, and there printing collated + copies with Duplex is rather common, as these printers are big network + multi-function devices (like office copiers). + + Note that due to Intrepid not opened yet there is no fixed version + available for Intrepid. The fix is already done upstream and there + confirmed by George Liu. As soon as Intrepid opens I will make a new + foomatic-filters package using the current upstream source code. + + Packages with the fix applied: + + http://www.linux-foundation.org/~till/tmp/ubuntu/hardy/foomatic-filters/ + + debdiff attached. ------------------- Anyway, here's the detailed step of what I did. 1. Download foomatic-filter package (20080418) and install foomatic-rip. Validated that the new foomatic-rip has a new installation date. Also use `which foomatic` to make sure it's the one I'm using 2. Install printer using the attached PPD file. (I copied the PPD file from /etc/cups/ppd) Description: 411DN_RIP Location: Make and Model: Ricoh Aficio SP 4110N PS Printer State: idle, accepting jobs, published. Device URI: file:/tmp/print/411DN.ps 3. lp -d 411DN_RIP -n 2 -o Duplex=DuplexNoTumble -o Collate=true 3pages.ps 3pages.ps and the generated postscript file (411DN.ps) attached 4. lp -d 3500PXL_IPP -o raw 411DN.ps Two copies of the job were printed without duplex. 5. Opened 411DN.ps, there's Collate command under each page %%Page: 1 1 [{ %%BeginFeature: *Collate True <</Collate true /CollateDetails <</Type 6 /AlignSet true>> >>setpagedevice %%EndFeature Hope that helps George ** Attachment added: "debdiff for the SRU request" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13835891/foomatic-filters_3.0.2-20071204-0ubuntu2_3.0.2-20071204-0ubuntu2.1.debdiff -- [Hardy SRU request] foomatic-rip does not handle enumerated-choice options with choices "True" and "False" correctly, leading to Duplex on most Ricoh printers not working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219999 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
