When printing to a win2000 connected Epson stylus colout 640 via samba and cups printed output is garbled after upgrading from gimp-print-cups 4.3.5 to 4.3.8-r1. The new printer driver has been selected via the cups web interface. Downgrading to 4.3.5 solves the problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. upgrade gimp-print-cups 2. change printer driver to reflect the upgrade 3.print to win2k connected Epson stylus colour 640 via samba and cups Actual Results: printed output is garbled. Expected Results: printed correctly!! :-) Portage 2.0.46-r9 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.1, glibc-2.3.1-r3) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.20-ck2 i686 AMD Duron(tm) processor GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/share/config /usr/kde/2/share/confi g /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" USE="x86 oss apm avi crypt cups encode gif jpeg libg++ libwww mikmod mpeg ncurse s nls pdflib png qtmt quicktime spell xml2 xmms xv zlib gdbm berkdb slang readli ne svga tcltk java guile X sdl gpm tcpd pam ssl python esd imlib oggvorbis gnome gtk qt motif opengl mozilla cdr 3dnow mmx truetype -alsa -arts bonobo dvd evo g tkhtml -kde matrox pda perl pic samba wmf" COMPILER="gcc3" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-s -march=athlon -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -fexpensive-optimization s -frerun-cse-after-loop -frerun-loop-opt -falign-functions=4 -funroll-loops -m3 dnow -mmmx -ffast-math -fforce-addr" CXXFLAGS="-s -march=athlon -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -fexpensive-optimizati ons -frerun-cse-after-loop -frerun-loop-opt -falign-functions=4 -funroll-loops - m3dnow -mmmx -ffast-math -fforce-addr" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" MAKEOPTS="-j2" AUTOCLEAN="yes" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" FEATURES="sandbox ccache"
I printed to a epson stylus C60 connected directly to the parallel port and the output was all messed up. It worked before upgrading gimp-print-cups, gimp-print, and cups.
I can confirm this problem also on an Epson Stylus Color 640, connected directly to the parallel port. Trying to print produces pages of strange symbols at different sizes. Downgrading to 4.3.5 fixes the problem. (Incidentally, does anyone else notice that 720 DPI mircoweave produces faint and fuzzy text in 4.3.5?)
Same with Epson 80C.
Same with Epson Stylus Color 740, gimp-print-cups-4.3.8-r1, cups-1.1.18-r4
please try gimp-print-cups-4.3.10 instead and if this doesn't work use gimp-print-4.2.5 (since gimp-print is stable branch and gimp-print-cups is devel branch)
I don't know if this report is ok because I tried gimp-print-cups-4.3.10 without recompiling ghostscript. I made a "ln -s /usr/lib/libgimpprint-4.3.10.so /usr/lib/libgimpprint-4.3.5.so" to make the gs command work again (it was complaining about the missing libgimpprint-4.3.5.so) However the contents of the 2 temporary binary files made by gs in /var/spool/cups/tmp/ are exactly the same with gimpprint-4.3.10 and with gimpprint-4.3.5 so I think that the missing recompilation of ghostscript didn't change the result. The result of this test is the same failure of gimp-print-cups-4.3.8-r1 the pages show the same garbage. Now I'm back to the working 4.3.5.
u should recompile gs too to find out if it works ..

Maybe in the gimp-print mailing-list someone can understand why the initial control sequence for epson printers is not sent in the new experimental versions.
yeah .. doesn't look like an error i could have made ... i talked to the gimp people .. they said that maybe gs wasn't updated when they released new gimp-print-4.3.x ... -> gotta wait ... if u find something out please post here (i'll try the next release again when it's out ..)
Please copy gimp-print-devel@sourceforge.net on Gimp-print issues (don't cc the bugs to them, but do alert the gimp-print-devel list). I'm curious what
i'll subscribe to both of them and try to keep up2date and tell them ok? ;)
mark for later atm
