Update on bug 624024?

Asked by compgamer89

Hi all,

Not that this is the proper place for this question, but I noticed that there hasn't been any activity on bug 624024, which seems dead. Is there anyone to check in with/anything for me to do about this bug? It's an ongoing issue with my system, and likely any others printing PostScript from windows through hpijs; the fix (a few gs commandline option changes) is a simple one, to be applied to the HPIJS ppds.

Hi,

Please download the hplip-3.12.2.tar.gz file from http://iweb.dl.sourceforge.net/project/hplip/hplip/3.12.2/hplip-3.12.2.tar.gz

and extract the source using command "tar -xvf hplip-3.12.2.tar.gz" and enter the directory hplip-3.12.2 and run the below configuration options to enable hpcups installation .

(for 32 bit)
./configure --with-hpppddir=/usr/share/ppd/HP --prefix=/usr --enable-udev-acl-rules --enable-qt4 --enable-doc-build --disable-cups-ppd-install --disable-foomatic-drv-install --disable-foomatic-ppd-install --disable-hpijs-install --disable-policykit --enable-cups-drv-install --enable-hpcups-install --enable-network-build --enable-dbus-build --enable-scan-build --enable-fax-build

(for 64 bit)
./configure --with-hpppddir=/usr/share/ppd/HP --libdir=/usr/lib64 --prefix=/usr --enable-udev-acl-rules --enable-qt4 --enable-doc-build --disable-cups-ppd-install --disable-foomatic-drv-install --disable-foomatic-ppd-install --disable-hpijs-install --disable-policykit --enable-cups-drv-install --enable-hpcups-install --enable-network-build --enable-dbus-build --enable-scan-build --enable-fax-build

Then next run "make" and su -c "make install"

Thanks,
Goutam

Ah, had not realized that hpcups superceded hpijs. Not sure if hpijs is considered deprecated, but having partial success with hpcups so far (it hasn't produced the strange output yet, though it seems like I need to modify my setup a bit) - will keep testing, and I'll reopen and/or make a new Q if there are other problems. Thanks!
