I could reproduce the bug creating a print queue pointing to a file
(Unfortunately, I do not get test printers from Xerox). There I tried my
suggestion of comments 5 and 6. And it works. With my Ghostscript-based
pdftoraster filter the Xerox Phaser 6100 with the Ubuntu-provided
package of SpliX 2.0.0rc2 works!
Problem was that this printer requires a certain color mode (via the PPD
file) which the Poppler-based pdftoraster (the one which comes as part
of Ubuntu's CUPS package) does not support (see the messages in the
error_log).
This means that the Poppler-based pdftoraster is not feature-complete
and therefore unsuitable for daily use.
The easiest fix is to replace it by the Ghostscript-based pdftoraster.
As the Ghostscript-based pdftoraster is upstream a part of Ghostscript,
this has to be fixed in both the CUPS and Ghostscript packages in
Jaunty. Therefore these tasks are added now.
As SRU for Intrepid the easiest way would be to simply put the
Ghostscript-based filter into the CUPS package, replacing the Poppler-
based one.
** Changed in: splix (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete => Invalid
