I created a PDF form by converting a PDF-BANNER file. The contents of the banner file are as follows:

#PDF-BANNER
Template form_english.pdf

The file form_english.pdf can be found here.

The banner file is converted to PDF using the following command:

cupsfilter banner_file > OUT.pdf

In the original file, if a field in a form is edited, it gets correctly edited and is reflected in the file. However, in the converted PDF file OUT.pdf, the form fields in the file get filled with gibberish as soon as the field is clicked on, or if tried to be edited. See here sample image. The field 'Task name' was edited and this is the final result:

Here is the log for the conversion:

Looks to me like device-uri is null. I have no local printer and it should add the remote printer from the print server with BrowseRemoteProtocols CUPS.

cups-filters-1.17.9 on Gentoo

cups-browsed 1.20.0 crashes when starting up on Gentoo Linux.
I have a CUPS print server in my LAN that advertises printers through DNS-SD.

I could debug it so far that in cups-browsed.c in get_local_printers(void) when iterating through dests, the device_uri is NULL (for some printers?).
For example:

{
  name = 0x7d714 "HP Deskjet 6940 @ Print-Server", 
  instance = 0x0, 
  is_default = 0, 
  num_options = 5, 
  options = 0x7fbe8 {
    {name = 0x7e2fc "printer-info", value = 0x7d714 "HP Deskjet 6940 @ Print-Server"}, 
    {name = 0x7bccc "printer-location", value = 0x7d904 "Keller"}, 
    {name = 0x7bd1c "printer-make-and-model", value = 0x7014c "HP Deskjet 6943 Printer"}, 
    {name = 0x7d144 "printer-type", value = 0x7d0fc "36894"}, 
    {name = 0x70a4c "printer-uri-supported", value = 0x7e314 "ipps://HP%20Deskjet%206940%20%40%20Print-Server._ipps._tcp.local/cups"}
  }
}

As a result the application segfaults in new_local_printer(device_uri, cups_browsed_controlled) on line 765, because device_uri is NULL

  printer->device_uri = strdup (device_uri);

Hi all,

I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask? Sorry in advance if it is not.

I've set up a Raspberry Pi to print some drawings that are in pdf format with a shell script using the 'lp' command. To make sure that the drawings don't get clipped off the side of the page I added the option '-o fit-to-page'

Some of these pdf's have comments added to them using adobe reader. If I use the '-o fit-to-page' option the comments do not get printed out but if I don't add the '-o fit-to-page' option the comments do get printed out?

Is there any other way to make sure that the printed pdf will fit to the page and that the comments will get printed out too?

@michaelrsweet suggested that the problem might be with the cups-filter and not cups itself.

Here is the link to the original Issue raised on the cups page - apple/cups#5160

Thanks for your help.

cups-browsed crashed when restarted by systemctl restart cups (when cups-browsed was running). See attatched file.
I have Fedora 29 with cups-2.2.10 and cups-filters-1.21.5, build rpm packages myself from source, based on the latest Fedora packages from koji (but with newer source from github).

cups-browsed-crashed.txt

The Apple LaserWriter 4/600 PS seems to suffer from the same bug in its PostScript interpreter as the Apple LaserWriter 12/640 PS does: When GhostScript is used to render the .ps files this results in empty pages printed. For the latter printer this has been fixed by a workaround in cups-filters:
http://bzr.linuxfoundation.org/loggerhead/openprinting/cups-filters/revision/7449 .
Would it be possible to also fix this for the 4/600 PS? For now I've done it manually by adding "Option pdftops-renderer pdftops" to /etc/cups/printers.conf as described at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1304869#c12 and it's working fine.

I wonder whether the Personal LaserWriter 320, Color LaserWriter 12/600 PS, Color LaserWriter 12/660 PS, and LaserWriter 16/600 PS suffer from the same bug. But I can't verify as I don't have access to any of these.

Hi,
I'm running an up-to-date Arch Linux box with...

kernel 4.18.5
cups 2.2.8
libcups 2.2.8
cups-filters 1.21.1
ghostscript 9.23
poppler 0.67.0

...and latest foo2zjs (2018-05-19) from http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com (not the AUR - but I get the same problem with foo2zjs-nightly from the AUR).
The printer no longer works since about second half of august (2018); I tried downgrading all the above packages (but the kernel) to versions which got installed before, but to no avail.

When I send a job, this is what cups is stuck doing ("ps -AF --forest")...

...until I cancel the job (I waited as long as half an hour, at most). While the job is still active cups web interface says "processing - sending data to the printer" for the job; nothing gets printed, but the green led on the printer blinks as it does when printing (so it seems it's receiving something).

As long as the job is running I have a temp file in "/var/spool/cups/tmp", in the case above it's "foomatic-kqwNwc" (see the "gs" command), which is a complete and well-formed pdf; in order to do some tests, I copied it to "/tmp" before canceling the job; then, on the terminal, piping together the above "gs" command, the "foo2zjs-wrapper" command from "/var/log/cups/error_log" (log level debug, see at the end of post), and the "/usr/lib/cups/backend/usb" command, I managed to print, ie the printer just works flawlessly...

Note that in order for this to work, the temp file one can copy from "/var/spool/cups/tmp" to "/tmp" must be set readable for the user who will run the command, then any job on the queue must be canceled, and then the printer has to be turned off and then on. Then, the command above works even subsequent times, ie it works every time until another job is queued from some applications to cups. The command works even when cups is not running (obviously).

Here comes the relevant part of "/var/log/cups/error_log"...

I am using CUPS with the printer driver which use "application/vnd.cups-raster 10 rastertopj" and i am trying to get the look of Windows PC halftoning: dither 4x4 print/output but i am clueless where to change the setting for choosing different halftoning pattern..

i also contacted the Ghostscript support and they said halftoning is done by the driver and also told that If the driver is Ghostscript-based you may be able to change the halftone as you’d like, and yes this is indeed Ghostscript-based printer (Cups)driver cause when i open the .PPD file i see *Product: "(ESP Ghostscript)".

here is the printer driver/source: http://www.jfbdtp.com/Pentax/pj-linux-cups.tar.gz

this is the halftone output its printing: https://imgur.com/a/18hkC1H or https://imgur.com/download/7pTksX4

this is the output i am looking for: https://imgur.com/a/KZTQrkp or https://imgur.com/download/5FnpKEM

here is the side by side comparison: https://imgur.com/a/N1rZYSS on the left its what i am getting which i think call 'elliptical spot shape' and on the right side its what i am getting from Windows 7 PC from i select a generic driver with Halftoning selection: Dither 4x4.

Can you please guide me on how or where to change the halftoning of the printer filter/driver?
Thankyou

After a small search I found a related change in poppler:-

https://cgit.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/commit/?id=68fdbfd0b159e8cf146c480f0d14f5d7adfd5806

Which seems to be causing the error. Modifying to match the new upstream behaviour should hopefully resolve the error.

Hi Till,

I have rather question than maybe issue about cups-browsed functionality - should cups-browsed be able to discover and create local queues for all printers in LAN, without need of setting 'BrowsePoll' option? Like all network IPP printers, USB printers, CUPS remote queues will be discovered at the start of cups-browsed without changing cups-browsed.conf?
Because I can only get my remote cups queues when I set 'BrowsePoll' to my server. But it is written in cups-browsed.conf that when no 'Browse...' options are used, cups-browsed will create print queues for all printers in local network.
I have cups-2.2.4 installed and cups-filters-1.16.1.

We have set JobSheets option with a value like "mybanner none" to a shared printer queue. File /usr/share/cups/banners/mybanner is available on cups print server and cups print client.

On our cups clients we run cups-browsed to make the shared printers from our cups print server available to all our linux computers. The problem is, that remote print queues created by cups-browsed all have "JobSheets none none" in /etc/cups/printers.conf, but the should have the same value as the remote shared printer have set.

It seems that the option JobSheets value is not forwarded and set to the client printer queue.

We run Fedora 28 with package cups-2.2.8-2.fc29 from koji, rebuild for Fedora 28 by myself, and cups-filters-1.20.4, based on cups-filters-1.20.3-5.fc29 from koji and updated to cups-filters 1.20.4 and rebuild for Fedora 28 by myself.

I use Print Setting (system-config-printer) in order to add printers.

When I try to add my printer by automatic detection, it just fails with "server-error-internal-error". Normally, it should add my printer and use driverless for printing. This GUI tool always chooses driverless by default when you use automatic detection; it doesn't let you choose between driverless and something else.

It worked perfectly with previous of cups-filters, including 1.18.0 and 1.19.0. I got this issue when I updated to 1.20.0. I could add my printer and use driverless for it with previous versions of cups-filters.

A workaround I found in order to add my printer with system-config-printer is to manually add the printer, then manually select Gutenprint. Trying to add the printer manually with driverless instead of Gutenprint results in the same error I get when I try to add it by automatic detection.

Trying to add the printer with the Web interface (localhost:631) using driverless ends up with an error too : "unable to add error : unable to copy PPD file." However, adding the printer with the Web interface using Gutenprint works fine.

Here's a typical log output from /var/log/cups/error_log I get when I try to add my printer with driverless in general.

Hope you can do something about it.

My config
Manjaro Cinnamon 17.1.5 (Testing branch, issue noticed on Stable branch too)
Canon Pixma MG4120 wireless printer (using Avahi for mDNS zeroconf and service discovery, which is compatible with my printer for Wi-Fi printing)
CUPS 2.2.6
cups-filters 1.20.0 (worked fine with previous version such as 1.18.0 and 1.19.0)
system-config-printer 1.5.11 (had the same issue with 1.5.9)

QPDF project recently released version 7.0.0, fixing the issue qpdf/qpdf#106
I compiled fresh cups-filters with qpdf 7.0.0 and it can print many more files now.

However, here is a curious problem with this file: shineline.pdf

It prints ok if sent to print untouched: "lp shineline.pdf". At the same time, it doesn't print and produces blank pages if printed as lp -o fit-to-page shineline.pdf.

Looks like pdftopdf is performing some scaling on it, and that scaling breaks the file.

Unscaled file has this many errors in error_log:

Is this fixable, what do you think?

Replace GBool, gTrue, and gFalse by bool, true, false, resp.

We use cups to print PDF, but if PDF contains annotation and form fields, print and print fields will lack these annotations and form

Imagetoraster, by default, scales the input image to fill the output page, while respecting the image's aspect ratio.

Unless the input and output aspect ratios are a near-perfect match, this often results in uneven borders/margins, or on full-bleed printers, unsightly white lines on one or more edges, and there is no simple way to avoid this without a-priori knowledge of the printer's native capabilities and using that in a pre-printing "filter" crop the image to the correct aspect ratio.

What I'd like to see is another scaling option that will scale the image's shorter dimension to match the printer's shorter dimension, then crop the excess off the longer dimension. By default we would center the image in the page, but the "position" option could be used to change that.

This is the same idea behind Gutenprint's 'StpiShrinkOutput=Crop' option, but that feature is useless in a CUPS printing flow because imagetoraster generates a raster that already fits the aspect ratio.

On the surface this seems like it would be fairly straightforward to implement (given what imagetoraster already can accomplish), so if I bang this out, is it (in principle) something that would be accepted into cups-filters?

Hi,
I'm running an up-to-date Arch Linux box with...

kernel 4.18.5
cups 2.2.8
libcups 2.2.8
cups-filters 1.21.1

My HP LaserJet Pro P1102 works ok with hplip 3.18.6, every job gets completed, but cups holds every job with a "Filter failed" message since gs, called by gstoraster, throws an error. Here are the relevant lines from /var/log/cups/error_log

By testing from terminal the gs command above, I've seen that only by omitting the "-dPARANOIDSAFER" option or replacing it with "-dNOSAFER" the command doesn't throw the error (with "-dSAFER" it does, and ghostscript devs plan to set "-dSAFER" as a default sometimes in the future).
Just to test, I then edited the gstoraster binary with an hex editor replacing "-dPARANOIDSAFER" with "-dNOSAFER" and now gs exits with no error and cups doesn't hold the jobs complaining about "Filter failed".

Hi,

im using cups 1.7.5 on a pi3.
It worked great, but since 2 weeks i got this issue.

I want to print 2 pages on 1 page.
But the result is, that the 2 pages have the size, like when i would like to print 4 pages on 1.
So each page has not 50% size on the page, it has 25%.

If I just print one page on one page it works great.
If I connect the printer to my pc, it also works with 2 on 1 .

I rebooted and of course reinstalled my printer. No change.
The settings in word are correct or in the chrome browser.

So there must be an issue with cups.

Any ideas how to solve it ?

@sahilarora535 investigated the code of pdftoraster and writes:

After going through the code, I found that a lot of poppler APIs are being used in pdftoraster.cxx (please open the link which redirects to the line number). When I built cups-filters for the first time, I distinctively remember I had to install poppler as well since it is a dependency for cups-filters. However, even on installing, files such as “goo/gmem.h” (which are included in the filter) were not found, hence I had to make poppler from the source. Even that did not work. Hence, I had to use a flag which configuring poppler so that these files come along, and the command was |./configure --enable-xpdf-headers| to configure poppler. I guess these are the unstable APIs we have been talking about. My first impression of the code base is that pdftoraster has a lot of uses of poppler’s unstable APIs, and this is what it is. Please correct me if I am wrong.

We need an existing Poppler output device for raster output ot create one if there is no suitable one. Poppler has a pdftoppm utility which generates the genric PPM raster format, so Poppler's output device used by this utility can probably somehow made use of. I do not know the PPM and similar raster graphics formats, for example whether all color spaces available in PWG/CUPS Raster are supported.
Here we have different possibilities depending on what the output formats of pdftoppm are capable of:

1. A pdftoraster filter which calls pdftoppm on the command line and converts the output into PWG/CUPS Raster.
2. A pdftoraster filter which uses the Poppler output device which the pdftoppm utility uses, using only public APIs of Poppler and it wraps the output bitmap streams into valid PWG/CUPS Raster.
3. Either we extend the PPM/raster output device of Poppler to also support PWG/CUPS Raster or we create a new Poppler output device for PWG/CUPS Raster based on Poppler's existing PPM/raster output device. The changes on Poppler we have to submit upstream. Then we do a pdftoraster filter which uses this device.

In any case the new pdftoraster filter should not loose any features, especially support for all color spaces and color management as the current one has.
Note: The same is probably the case for pdftoijs, pdftoopvp, and bannertopdf, but the former two we are deprecating curremtly (they are not installed by default any more) and the latter we will convert to use QPDF (Issue #8).

I have BrowsePoll lines for the main network environments where I use my laptop. But when changing to such a network (replugging, suspend/resume) I cannot use those printers: They are detected by cups:

woodstock:~% lpstat -a
ml2850 accepting requests since Sun 11 Mar 2018 08:24:14 CET

but when trying to print there is an error message:

E [11/Mar/2018:08:24:14 +0100] [Client 7] Returning IPP client-error-bad-request for CUPS-Add-Modify-Printer (ipp://localhost:631/printers/ml2850) from localhost
E [11/Mar/2018:08:33:43 +0100] [Job 100] No destination host name supplied by cups-browsed for printer \"ml2850\", is cups-browsed running?

I have to restart cups-browsed to be able to print to this printer. As this will also delete already submitted print jobs, such a restart should happen automatically after network changes (and/or resumes?)

(See also bugreport https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1084799)

A long and winding road has hopefully led me to the right place to resolve this...

As I really don't know what info might be needed, I did a bit of overkill on cut/paste. Mod's do feel free to edit/delete anything here that's not needed or irrelevant. And obviously I'm willing run any diagnostic you need or want.

We could probably add continuous integration support to cups-filters so that the codebase becomes less error-prone and we could also add tests which will test the functionality of each filter. This would make cups-filters more maintainable.

The Header and Footer keywords in a banner file are not getting printed when converted using bannertopdf filter. Here are the contents of the banner file:

#PDF-BANNER
Template default.pdf
Header Hello
Footer World
Show job-id

The file default.pdf can be found here.

The resulting PDF file do have job-id, or other information which is specified in the Show keyword, but no header or footer.

Description:

After a full system update (on an Arch Linux system), my Kyocera FS-1000 printer no longer receives any print jobs.

Cups reports the error message "Failed filter".

In the systemd logs I found this:
ANOM_ABEND auid=4294967295 uid=209 gid=209 ses=4294967295 pid=2597 comm="foomatic-rip" exe="/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip" sig=11 res=1

The file foomatic-rip belongs to the package cups-filters and that package was indeed updated today (to version 1.21.0-1). After downgrading cups-filters to the previous version (1.20.4-2) the printer is responding normally again.

The issue was confirmed by another user with another printer (Brother HL-2240D).

See my original bug report on the Arch Linux bugtracker.

Note: I have technically not really an idea how cups-filter works. (Or why the potential bug could be related to it) but the developer of the cups project seems to think it could be so:
apple/cups#5242 (comment)
I am just sure that the "symptom" shows on several newer Linux distributions and it doesn't on older ones.

After updating the operating system (and therefore cups and cups-filters) on a test system i recognized that all printouts (of the specific document assembling) from that system are significantly slower than before. (Around 40% on the HP M608DN printer i am using, but the symptom also shows on a range of different network printers i have tested.)

Since this update needs to be done on the production system too this is pretty bad for me because that is the main purpose of that system (it basically prints the whole day through) and so the speed of the whole system will degrade if i do the update. (The printouts are usually done in batches of 3 to 33 document sheets (6 to 66 pages) and always have a combination of documents that show the symptom.)

I think i tracked it down to be related to printing pdf documents with and without form-elements alternating like the following two documents:

test_PDFs_and_protocol.tar.gz

One is a pdf form from /usr/share/cups/data on the newer systems, the other one is an anonymized document created by me (in case the document size or complexity somehow matters).
The exact print command used is contained in the results.txt file.

Here are the printing times of these files on four different Systems. The inner ones are the "new" ones with CUPS 2.x while the old ones use 1.5.x. I added the cups-filers versions too.
The Suse 13.2 system seems to be the only one that doesn't have a cups-filters package installed, but the following two:
cups-filters-foomatic-rip
cups-filters-ghostscript
Both have Versions 1.0.58.

       Ubuntu 12.04  Netrunner/Debian 9     SUSE 42.3        SUSE 13.2
M553:   40 Seconds      76 Seconds          54 Seconds      41 Seconds
M608:   27 Seconds      71 Seconds          41 Seconds      27 Seconds
c-f. vers.    1.0.18              1.16.4-1                  1.8.2               1.0.58 

All Printers tested are network printers, all tests were done multiple times with the same results and the "Ubuntu 12.04" is a live-dvd tested on the same Hardware as the SUSE 42.3 system. (Using the same network, the same printer and the same printer driver ppd.) The viewable problem with the "slow" prints is that the printers always seem to stop and make one ore more little pauses in between while using the old systems it prints the whole bunch through.

Hi, I need to install cups-filters for CUPS 2.1.3 (not in any repository for Centos 6) and after ./configure I get this:

gdbus-codegen \
            --interface-prefix org.cups.cupsd \
            --c-namespace Cups \
            --generate-c-code cups-notifier \
            utils/org.cups.cupsd.Notifier.xml
make: gdbus-codegen: Command not found
make: *** [cups-notifier.c] Error 127

Can anyone help me to first, install gdbus-codegen for Centos 6, then cups-filters.

BTW, it is really needed gdbus-codegen?.

Hello,

I am trying to print multiple copies to a plotter setup in CUPS. Plotter model is HP Designjet T520, since CUPS doesn't have driver for this model i am using an alternative driver HP Designjet T1100 pcl.
I am using library : https://github.com/williamkapke/ipp to send prints, Print request consists of :

1. data (image)
2. operation-attributes-tag {
   job-name='any job name'
   document-format = 'image/png' }
3. Job-attributes-tag {
   copies : 2,
   media : 'om_a-4-transverse_297.04x209.9mm'
   }

This prints only 1 image from plotter.

As per Michael Sweet suggestion I also printed image from CUPS using command prompt :
lp -d UAStore10 -n 3 -o media=A4.Transverse PlotterA4.png

Same result only 1 print.

CUPS Version : 2.1.3
OS : Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS

Could you please have a look at this one and suggest a solution ?
I already added this issue in CUPS github : apple/cups#5352

Please let me know if I should do some more tests or any info is needed.
Thank you,
Sonia

I reported the problem here: apple/cups#5295 but found out that is is better to report it on this repo. Essentially I want to continue printing despite the warning (warning about opc-life-over). How do I do that?

Hi Till,
I was testing cups-filters-1.20.2, but my company printers - remote cups queues from cups server - are no longer discovered. I saw the commit d6323a8 , which changes remote cups queues discovering to recognizing printer->type from avahi only.
I think it is caused by this patch:
+#else
/* Check by the resource whether the discovered printer is a CUPS queue /
if (!strncasecmp(resource, "printers/", 9) ||
!strncasecmp(resource, "classes/", 8))
/ This is a remote CUPS queue or class / │
is_cups_queue = 1;
+#endif / HAVE_AVAHI */
when this part of code is used only when avahi is not used, remote cups queues aren't discovered.
It seems some printers don't advertise its printer type through mdns. Error message of cups-browsed:

Wed Apr 4 10:07:26 2018 Cannot create remote printer Canon_imageRUNNER_ADVANCE_C3530i_MFP_example_com (URI: ipp://example.com:631/printers/brno3-tpb-0th-it, Model: (null), Accepted data formats: (null)) as its PDLs are not known, ignoring this printer.

I submitted this issue to CUPS last week. At the time it seemed obvious to me that it was a CUPS issue, but Michael Sweet argues that it is a cups-filters issue and I wanted to make your project aware of it. I want to pass this off to someone else if I can.

apple/cups#5315

The gist of it is that I have an inkjet printer and I found it confusing that the pages come out in the wrong order. Not only does the default PPD not correctly reverse the pages, but the various ways of setting the output order (via the PPD, via lpadmin and via lpoptions) all seem to have different effects on documents printed by different applications. If you want to, you can play with this just using cups-pdf. If I modify the cups-pdf PPD with a 'DefaultOutputOrder: "reverse"' line, then according to my experiments this directive is honored by lp and Evince but not Okular. The lpoptions settings are honored by lp but not Evince or xpdf.

I am aware of one mistake in my original bug report, in a follow-up post I commented that 'lp' doesn't respect the 'lpadmin' setting but it does. This misunderstanding was due to my not figuring out the need to delete the 'lpoptions' setting with 'lpoptions -r', before repeating my experiments with lpadmin.

In case it helps, here are some issues I've identified while reading the documentation and trying to understand the behavior of CUPS.

• Relationship between lpadmin and lpoptions is not explained in respective manual pages

• User has no way to know that a GUI application like Evince or xpdf will ignore lpoptions but honor lpadmin settings. Should be fixed or documented.

• Okular fails to respect the "reverse" setting in the PPD. You have to manually check the "reverse" button each time. But xpdf, which has the same print dialog and also seems based on qt5, lacks this problem. I couldn't find any documentation of the correct behavior.

• User has no way to know the proper place to set a 'reverse' output order for a face-up printer. The fact that this belongs in the PPD should be documented somewhere other than message boards and mailing lists.

• Output order should be configurable at printer setup time, via the GUI on localhost:631

• Output order should be specified correctly in PPDs for inkjets and other face-ups

• lpoptions and lpadmin man pages should note the importance of removing settings (-r or -R respectively) to avoid overriding PPD settings. For example setting outputorder=normal is not the same as deleting the outputorder key; the former will still override the PPD setting.

• The 'lp' man page should make it clear that '-o outputorder=reverse' will only "print pages in reverse order" on face-down printers. It should also document the possibility of setting '-o outputorder=normal' (which will print pages in reverse order on face-up printers).

• In 'lp' man page, distinction should be made between options like "page-ranges" which work by filtering the document, and options like "outputorder" which work by overriding printer defaults. It's not obvious to users which kind of option outputorder is. Setting "outputorder=reverse" is not the same as checking the "reverse" box when printing from most GUI applications; the former will only print pages in reverse on face-down printers, while the latter will print them in reverse on any (correctly configured) printer.

• There should be a "filter"-type 'lp' option (see above) which correctly reverses pages on all printers. It could be named something like "page-order=reverse". This would function just like checking the "reverse" box in a GUI application like Evince or xpdf. It would be used by people who want to, say, print the even pages of a document in reverse order. Currently this cannot be done via the command-line in a printer-independent way.

• I can't figure out how to remove an outputorder setting using lpoptions "-r". The manual page should tell me what's happening here. Are we looking at the setting from lpadmin?

    $ lpoptions -dHP_Photosmart_Plus_B210a -r outputorder              
    $ lpoptions -dHP_Photosmart_Plus_B210a | tr ' ' '\n'| grep order
    outputorder=reverse
  

• How do I do the above experiment with 'lpadmin'? It seems to lack the feature to print all the settings. Are they in a file somewhere, can I view the file to look at which options are set? Let's add this feature, or update the lpadmin man page to point users to the file where all the key-value pairs can be viewed.

• lpadmin should give a warning when user tries to delete a non-existent key, e.g. if the user executes "lpadmin ... -R outputorder" instead of "lpadmin ... -R outputorder-default".

I'm not sure how many of these issues are within your purview. I've tried to do my part as a bug reporter but it seems to be requiring much more work than I had originally budgeted, partly owing to the fact that no one (including the leaders of my distribution, Arch) wants to formally admit the existence of a usability problem.

Hi!
After update to version 1.20 from 1.19. My cups error log is spammed with Filter \"brftopagedbrf\" not found. message.

When I print a PDF whose pages are smaller or larger than letter paper, I find that lp does a poor job of printing it. The printed page appears in the upper-left corner of the paper (medium) page, and the top half of the top line is cut off. Generally I print these documents with Evince and select "Fit to Printable Area" under "Page Handling", that does a better job - it scales up the page and centers it on the physical medium. I wonder if cups-filters can be configured to do the same thing as Evince is doing, it would be nice because I don't always remember to use Evince until after I've printed a document of many pages and found that it came out all wrong.

Here is an example document (one page, pdfinfo says "456 x 687.59 pts"):

sample-8.pdf

After having poked a bit into what features the cups-filters bannerfile format application/vnd.cups-pdf-banner and the related bannertopdf filter currently provide, it appears to me that bannertopdf is not able to support the original banner file source format of CUPS itself (i.e. vnd.cups-banner as specified here: https://www.cups.org/doc/spec-banner.html).

While this banner file format is native to CUPS, still the CUPS source code does not provide any filter to convert it to PDF for all platforms -- there is only cgbannertopdf filter for macOS (and cgbannertopdf is not open source).

I do not see any major technical reason why cups-filters should be limiting itself like this, and why there wouldn't be a way to directly support the original application/vnd.cups-banner format.

Sometimes it may happen that the default resolution for PCLM is different from what the input raster has. In that case, the PCLM file generated from the rastertopclm filter is incorrect. For instance, if the input raster has a resolution of 600dpi, and the default PCLM resolution in the PPD file is 1200dpi, this is how the resultant PCLM file looks like:

when ideally, it should span full page and look like this:

The solution to this would be to check what is the resolution of the input raster file, and if that resolution is present in the *cupsPclmSourceResolutionSupported key in the PPD, use that resolution to convert the PCLm file.

CUPS on macOS uses a MIME type named application/vnd.cups-banner which is a simple text file format where a few simple keywords define what should be the contents of the banner. Then the filter cgbannertopdf converts that text file and generates a PDF banner page.

The original CUPS MIME type for banner textfiles uses '#CUPS-BANNER' on its first line for recognition.

CUPS provides the exact and complete specification for the format of its banner files here: https://www.cups.org/doc/spec-banner.html

OpenPrinting's cups-filters package does use the MIME type appliation/vnd.cups-pdf-banner and puts #PDF-BANNER into the text file as its first line and runs a filter called bannertopdf to do the conversion.

However, there is no specification of the banner text format used by cups-filters (not even in the README). This gap should be filled.

Also, the bannertopdf filter is completely un-documented.

In /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf option set to
CreateIPPPrinterQueues All
Network printer is autodiscovered and created queue.
When printer goes in sleep mode queue removed.
And i can't send documents to print.
Is there a way to not remove autodiscovered queue? (make it permanent)

 #include <qpdf/QPDFAcroFormDocumentHelper.hh>

with having QPDF 8.0.2 installed.

configure.ac states PKG_CHECK_MODULES([LIBQPDF], [libqpdf >= 3.0.2]) as the version requirement for QPDF.

Upgrading to QPDF 8.2.1 allowed cups-filters-1.21.0 to compile.

cups-browsed seams to create remote cups queues, and then it deletes the created queues. This occures repeatedly and consumes cpu time of cups process.

I don't know why the queues are deleted. I'm not sure, but I think it occurs first in some cups-filters 1.21.* versions.

There is also a strange error message, I haven't found the cause of it, and I don't know if it is related to this problem, because I found this message since a long time.

I have Fedora 29 with cups-2.2.10 and cups-filters-1.21.5, build rpm packages myself from source, based on the latest Fedora packages from koji (but with newer source from github).

cups-browsed-crashed.txt

(I thought I had submitted this issue but I don't see it in your list; apologies if it shows up twice)

I just upgraded cups and cups-filters on my laptop and on my desktop. The desktop has a printer attached to it. Prior to the upgrade, I was able to print from laptop to the desktop via a local print queue. Now when I try to print, I see in the web interface that the job is listed with "held since <date>". When I click the "Release job" button, the page reloads but the job is still "held since"...

Googling, I see that this "held since" message has existed since 2005:

https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2317549

I'd like some help troubleshooting the problem, which may be related to some recent changes in this software (last month or two?) so that my printer can work again.

However, I also think there is a "discoverability" bug here. I never asked for a job to be "held", I'm getting an error message which not only doesn't point to the source of the problem (a log file? something from the STDERR of some failed command?) but also doesn't even appear to be an error message. It leaves me with no clue how to proceed.

I'm attaching an archive with the files that I think may be relevant: local-cupsd.conf local-error_log local-ppd-B210a_Remote.ppd local-printers.conf remote-cupsd.conf remote-error_log remote-ppd-HP_Photosmart_Plus_B210_series.ppd remote-printers.conf

cups-held-since-bug.zip

It may be of note that after trying many of the options for remote printing (and finding them all broken for me), I finally stumbled upon a piece of documentation suggesting I run something like this:

lpadmin -p B210a_Remote -E -v ipp://nameofmydesktop/printers/HP_Photosmart_Plus_B210_series -m everywhere

That was after I created B210a_Remote via the web interface; it succeeded in making the queue work for me (for a couple of weeks until the recent upgrade).

Thanks in advance.

bannertopdf generates PDF files for banner pages and test pages. It does not render existing PDF files, so it does not need a PDF interpreter, so Poppler is not really needed for this task. QPDF would be good enough here. QPDF is a helper to generate and modify PDFs, especially to create a correct XREF table.
Also we want to give the user the liberty to use cups-filters with one single PDF interpreter, one of Ghostscript, Poppler, and MuPDF, so that on devices with low resources (mobile, IoT, ...) one does not need the redundancy of more than one PDF interpreter.
Currently one looses banner and test page functionality if one does not have Poppler installed, so actually only Poppler works as a single PDF interpreter for cups-filters.
It is also possible that bannertopdf uses non-public (internal) APIs of Poppler which can make it easily break with updates of Poppler, but I am not sure whether this is really the case.
Therefore we need to convert bannertopdf to use QPDF instead of Poppler.
Hint: All Poppler use is in filter/pdf.cxx.

Hi Till,

I think it would be good to have a way to set cups-browsed debug log in cups-browsed.conf, like cupsd has with 'LogLevel'. (IMO we can use something like DebugLog on/off)
I can look into it and create a patch, if you have other matters to attend to.
