It's a hplip problem (all versions in tree are affected by this) when using "hpcups" filter instead of "hpijs" one Created attachment 230193 [details]

Created attachment 230211 [details] Test series with different printer drivers, files and programs I can reproduce this bug here. This looks similar to bug #307267. The user who reported this bug already opened an hplip bug as he verified this problem with Xubuntu. So this does not look like a Gentoo specific bug. I did a test series with your test file and the one from bug #307267. Like you said this only happens with hpcups, but the results with for the two test files are different like you see in the attached file. Thanks a lot for the info. I will CC to https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/534096 Is there any more that I could do for helping on this? Or should I wait for https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/534096 to be solved at first? Thanks :-) (In reply to comment #6) > Is there any more that I could do for helping on this?

Nowadays there is also "emerge --info package-atom" just in case you did not know. I don't think there is anything we can do until upstream provides a patch besides using the hpijs driver.

I have also tried to enable "new-hpcups"... but I wasn't able to find any ppd for my printer with it :-( > I don't think there is anything we can do until upstream provides a patch > besides using the hpijs driver. > OK but, why ebuild defaults to +hpcups? Is it preferred by upstream? (In reply to comment #8) > I have also tried to enable "new-hpcups"... but I wasn't able to find any ppd > for my printer with it :-( I have re-checked the new-hpcups flag, looks like it does not do anything nowadays. I will remove it from the ebuild. > OK but, why ebuild defaults to +hpcups? Is it preferred by upstream? Yes, take a look at the release notes for 3.9.6 at http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/release_notes.html With a different printer (a Deskjet 2050 j510), I have seen hpcups driver causes black cartridge to not be used for printing black texts, causing them to be seen as "grey". Hpijs driver also fixes this, maybe ebuild should also build +hpijs by default, that way most people could easily choose between both alternatives and check for the best one for them Still a problem with hplip-3.12.2? The printer affected by this driver issue died time ago and, then, I cannot test :( I am able to print the attached test page with lpr, acroread, qpdfview and gimp with correct colors. Closing |
