Package: cups Version: 1.3.10-2 Severity: important Hi!
After some post-lenny cups upgrade, I noticed that all my Debian testing (squeeze) boxes fail to print correctly with the HP LaserJet 1320. Printed documents show little spurious horizontal lines, especially on font glyphs (e.g.: character 'i' looks like 'ī'). I had never seen issues like this on a laser printer before: the result is similar to what you could get with a bad ink jet printer when the ink nozzles are dirty! Please note that this issue shows up both with direct parallel connection and with network connection. Other laser PostScript printers work correctly from the same Debian testing boxes. The same HP LaserJet 1320 printer works correctly when used from other boxes which run older versions of CUPS on other older GNU/Linux distros. The same HP LaserJet 1320 printer used to work correctly a few cups upgrades ago. Downgrading to cups/1.3.8-1lenny4.1 solves the problem (N.B.: I only need to downgrade the binary package named "cups"). Please find attached: * gzipped /etc/cups/printers.conf * gzipped /var/log/cups/error_log (with "debug" log level during a print test) * gzipped PPD file used for the printer (it was downloaded long ago from http://www.linuxprinting.org/download/PPD/HP/mono_laser/HP_LaserJet_1320_Series.ppd) as requested in /usr/share/doc/cups/HOWTO_BUGREPORT.txt Please help, this bug is really troublesome: severity set to "important" since it is a regression. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (800, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages cups depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii bc 1.06.94-3.1 The GNU bc arbitrary precision cal ii cups-common 1.3.10-2 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii debconf [debconf-2.0 1.5.26 Debian configuration management sy ii ghostscript 8.64~dfsg-1.1 The GPL Ghostscript PostScript/PDF ii libavahi-compat-libd 0.6.25-1 Avahi Apple Bonjour compatibility ii libc6 2.9-12 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcups2 1.3.10-2 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libcupsimage2 1.3.10-2 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.12-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libgcc1 1:4.4.0-5 GCC support library ii libgnutls26 2.6.6-1 the GNU TLS library - runtime libr ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.6.dfsg.4~beta1-13 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries - k ii libijs-0.35 0.35-7 IJS raster image transport protoco ii libkrb5-3 1.6.dfsg.4~beta1-13 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.11-1 OpenLDAP libraries ii libpam0g 1.0.1-9 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpaper1 1.1.23+nmu1 library for handling paper charact ii libpoppler4 0.10.6-1 PDF rendering library ii libslp1 1.2.1-7.5 OpenSLP libraries ii libstdc++6 4.4.0-5 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii lsb-base 3.2-22 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii perl-modules 5.10.0-22 Core Perl modules ii procps 1:3.2.8-1 /proc file system utilities ii ssl-cert 1.0.23 simple debconf wrapper for OpenSSL ii ttf-freefont 20080323-3 Freefont Serif, Sans and Mono True ii xpdf-utils [poppler- 3.02-1.4 Portable Document Format (PDF) sui ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-13 compression library - runtime Versions of packages cups recommends: pn avahi-utils <none> (no description available) ii cups-client 1.3.10-2 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii cups-driver-gutenprint 5.2.3-2+b1 printer drivers for CUPS ii foomatic-filters 4.0-20090509-1 OpenPrinting printer support - fil pn smbclient <none> (no description available) Versions of packages cups suggests: ii cups-bsd 1.3.10-2 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - pn cups-pdf <none> (no description available) pn foomatic-db <none> (no description available) pn foomatic-db-engine <none> (no description available) pn hplip <none> (no description available) pn xpdf-korean | xpdf-japanese | <none> (no description available) -- debconf information: cupsys/raw-print: true cupsys/backend: ipp, lpd, parallel, scsi, serial, socket, usb, snmp, dnssd
