Description Stefano Crocco 2022-02-01 19:43:17 UTC
After upgrading media-libs/lcms to version 2.13, my HP OfficeJetPro 8715 printer (using net-print/hplip) started printing pages with a dark gray background instead of leaving the background white. I tried this with a text document written with LibreOffice and with a PDF file produced with xelatex. Downgrading lcms to version 2.12 makes the issue disappear.

Another user reported a similar issue with another HP printer, which was also solved by downgrading lcms (see https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-user/message/e0d5f5be9e54d5967d6e80457ea1d15e).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a text document with LibreOffice Writer
2. Print it using an HP OfficeJetPro 8715 printer
Actual Results:  
The background of the printed page is dark gray

Expected Results:  
The background of the page should have been white

Comment 1 Ross Hayward 2022-02-03 06:59:27 UTC
Same problem printing PDFs with an Epson ET-7750. Reverting to lcms-2.12 resolves the issue for me as well. I noticed Okular's print preview was also affected.
Comment 2 Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2022-02-03 07:04:11 UTC
Does https://github.com/mm2/Little-CMS/commit/fdbfb7694f9d7048d53674b79ddfc38068bfdaf7.patch help?

Put it in /etc/portage/patches/media-libs/lcms/bug832520.patch.

If it works, we can add it to Gentoo.
Comment 3 Arusekk 2022-02-03 10:40:18 UTC
Same issue with any PDF/ODT printing (CUPS test page printed fine) on HP DeskJet F380, and on Okular print preview.

The suggested patch helps; downgrading to 2.12 works fine, too.

    dev-python/pillow: drop test skips in 9.0.1
    
    These were actually a bug in LCMS 2.13 (fixed in 2.13-r1, 2.13.1).
    
    Thanks to Pillow upstream for debugging this with us!
