Dear Till, Thank you very much for taking your time to help investigate this issue and providing us a method to continue the investigation even when you are so busy.
We had tried to figure out the difference of convert into PostScript and no conversion to PostScript by the method you provide on the date 2019-01-18(#15). But negatively, we don’t know the correct way to make it work. We use the PPD attached (Ricoh-MP_C5503_PXL.ppd) to print a job. The output capture file(test_modify_Fail.prn) shows that the capture command did not convert normally. The output capture file(test_modify_Fail.prn) on which you can figure out that capture command file output by the PPD (Add "*FoomaticRIPCommandLinePDF:") missing a lot of commands than the capture command file(test_original_OK.prn) output by the original PPD (without modify). We suspected the definition of FoomaticRIP Command is duplicate by below two define(“*FoomaticRIPCommandLine:” and “*FoomaticRIPCommandLinePDF:”): --------------------------------------- *FoomaticRIPCommandLine: "(printf '\033%%-12345X@PJL\n@PJL JOB\n@PJL SET COPIES=&copies;\n'%G|perl -p -e "s/\x26copies\x3b/1/"); (gs -q -dBATCH -dPARANOIDSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dNOINTERPOLATE %B%A%C %D%E | perl -p -e "s/^\x1b\x25-12345X//" | perl -p -e "s/\xc1\x01\x00\xf8\x31\x44/\x44/g"); (printf '@PJL\n@PJL EOJ\n\033%%-12345X')" *End *FoomaticRIPCommandLinePDF: "(printf '\033%%-12345X@PJL\n@PJL JOB\n@PJL SET COPIES=&copies;\n'%G|perl -p -e "s/\x26copies\x3b/1/"); (gs -q -dBATCH -dPARANOIDSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dNOINTERPOLATE %B%A%C %D%E | perl -p -e "s/^\x1b\x25-12345X//" | perl -p -e "s/\xc1\x01\x00\xf8\x31\x44/\x44/g"); (printf '@PJL\n@PJL EOJ\n\033%%-12345X')" *End --------------------------------------- So, we delete the command “*FoomaticRIPCommandLine:” from PPD, Hopping the way can make it works correctly. But the output capture file shows that this method is the same result with two FoomaticRIP Command definition. Can you lead us the correct way to the investigation of no conversion to PostScript. And if you have further investigation result, it’s appreciated to share with us.
