Hi, all HP users ! I have some trouble with a HP PSC 2410. I use Mandrake 10.1 + KDE 3.3 + OOo 1.1.3 + CUPS. I used latest versions of HPOJ, then I tried HPLIP. When I try to print a page like this one in landscape mode, I always miss a few mm on the left side (using A4 format) : http://www.gardemedicaledeparis.org/gardes/gardes.php?jour=2005-01-01 When I want to print it in portrait mode, it is OK. When I use KDE's virtual PDF printer, it is OK. But if I want to print my PDF, it is bad again. The same problem occurs with OOo (but the print preview is OK). The Mandrake CUPS test page looks correct : there is a big frame next to the edges of the sheet, but le lower side of the frame is a bit far from the bottom edge (a few cm). I tried to lower the margins, but the only result is the text looks bigger. And still the same problem : the latest part of the text to get out of the printer is missing. Looks like the systems has a bad knowledge of the actual size of the sheets. Any idea about the reasons and the solution of the problem ? Other problem (not important for the moment) : the new graphical frontend to the printer crashes when launching, in spite of compiling nicely. The error message says there is a problem with QT. Many thanks Gerard |

There is a known issue with printing PDFs and having them off. It's not a driver issue but a postscript one if I remember correctly. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I have already made first Mandrakelinux RPMs of HPLIP. You find them on http://www.linuxprinting.org/till/tmp/ Version is 0.8.4. Note that there are three binary RPMs, one main package, one with HPIJS 2.0 and one with the PPDs for HPIJS 2.0. foomatic-rip is not included, it is already installed with the foomatic-filters package. To try HPLIP, install at first only the main package. The toolbox should work then on 10.1. On Cooker it really does not work. Cory, are you already testing with Cooker? Your PDF issues are probably a GhostScript problem. Try installing GPL GhostScript 8.15 from source. It should fix all PDF issues. To print PDFs then do not send them directly to CUPS (as CUPS uses XPDF to convert PDF to PostScript). Open the PDFs with gv and use the print function of gv to get them printed.

I installed Ghostscript, but when done, gv did not want to work any more. I tried to install a new version of gv by Hand, but I finished with "make -= i". Before I could open the pdf file, but the display was terrific (random spac= es=20 and mixed letters) I updated CUPS, but I still have the bug. I updated XPDF, but it has an horrible display (not 2 letters on the same=20 line) and has the same bug. Other rideas ?
