Hi,
I have problems with gimp-print-cups 4.3.8-r1.
I have a Epson Stylus Color 680 connected trough parallel port.
I was able to print perfectly with CUPS and gimp-print-cups 4.3.5. I upgraded to 4.3.8-r1 and the compilation aborted. Checking bugzilla I found that was because a missing dep, foomatic. I emerged foomatic and emerged 4.3.8-r1, with success but I print out garbage.
I tried to cancel the printer and reconfigure it but nothing. Unmerged 4.3.8-r1 and emerged 4.3.5 back and the printer works perfectly.
It's a bug or I'm doing something wrong? With 4.3.5 foomatic was not needed, I wonder if it matters...
Thanks in advance. |

| when emerging gimp-print-cups, also emerge ghostscript after you emerge the aforementioned package, and afterwhich you may choose to emerge cups and emerge ghostscript in accordance to the instructions given at the end of the cups emerge. |

I emerged gimp-print-cups and ghostscript but the error still remains.
Sorry but I don't undestand what you mean in the second part of your post...I have to re-emerge cups too? |

| Code: |
if (isdoing("emerge", "gimp-print-cups"))
{
whencompleted({"emerge", "gimp-print-cups"}, {"emerge", "ghostscript"});
}
if (completed("emerge", "ghostscript") && (isparanoid() || ispedantic()))
{
run({"emerge", "cups", "ghostscript"});
}

So I have to emerge gimp-print-cups, then emerge ghostscript, and then emerge cups and ghostscript again?
I'll try... |

What kind of garbage? This is important if you want a good diagnosis.
Perhaps it is this kind?

| No, nothing human-readable. I don't know how to post them... they are not easily reproducible, I see sqare-root signs, little dark squares, "omega" signs.... they seems to have sense, are arranged in blocks of around 10 lines but obvously is not the data the printer expects... |

Hi.
Print into a file. So you can post some of its content and we can make some very educated guesses about the issue.

Yes I tought about doing this but I switched back to 4.3.5 and at this moment It's impossible to install the unreliable version.
Later... |
