Can't print on Infotec printer

[Simon Schmidig]

Can't print on Infotec IS2018D with Postscript-modul. The only way it fonction
is when I print in a ps-file, then I make ps2ps and at the end when I send this
file to the printer it will be printed.
I had no problems whit ather Postscript-files.

Simon, thanks for your bug. Martin, do you have an idea, where the problem might
be? I doubt it's gnome-print.

This sounds somewhat contradictory. Does that mean you cannot print a particular
PostScript file, or do all prints fail on your machine, and they work fine when
using postscript? In the latter case, are all applications affected? Does 'print
test page' work in the printer manager? (System -> Administration -> Printing)

Simon, do you still have this problem?

If yes, can you answer the questions from Martin in the comments of your bug report?

I have still this problem.
Scenario 1 : I install the pxlmono driver I can print. Gnome-print is OK.

Scenario 2 : I install the postscript driver (the PPD-file from the Windows installation). I can print from the commandline any postscript-file with lp -d infotec xxx.ps. If I like to print a Postscript-file gnome-print, the Infotecprinter prints nothing and in the error-file is a message like : print interrupted by user.

Scenario 3 : I "clean" the Postscript-file in the command-line with ps2ps. The printer print it now.
The problem is, when I like to print for ex. a Evolution-message (gedit, ...), I must first print this message in a Postscript-file. Then ps2ps and at the end I can print it. It's not very ergonomique.
I can use the pxlmono-driver but the quality is not the same. Sometime he loos fonts and ...
I think, the printer understand Postscript and it is better to use this language.

please could you recheck this with a current dapper live CD (daily/daily live current)? See http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/

I can't create a new printer with de live CD of dapper. So, I don't can
make the test. I will tray in 2 weeks with the new version of dapper.

Now it's OK. I can print with the postscript-driver.
Thank you.

Thanks for testing this. I'll mark this bug report fixed.
