Duplex printing with garbage on HP P2055dn

[Dariusz Dwornikowski]

Binary package hint: cups

This is major for me. When I print something in duplex on my HP P2055dn I get total garbage. The garbage is not unreadable, the letters are just scattered and interleaving on each other. Pictures are printed correctly. I print with network.

Also in one page printing it is OK too.

It was totally OK on 10.04. Please fix this. I cannot work without duplex (also it saves paper and trees).

Can you attach files which did not correctly print for you and follow the instructions in the sections "CUPS error_log" and "Capturing print job data" in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems? Thanks.

[Dariusz Dwornikowski (tdi-kill-9-deactivatedaccount)]

I tried many files. All print badly. I also tried to print from Acrobat, Evince, OOffice. Same. Ill try to capture error_log and post it.

[Dariusz Dwornikowski (tdi-kill-9-deactivatedaccount)]

No errors, but example document attached.

[Till Kamppeter (till-kamppeter)]

Please capture the error_log anyway, even without errors. I want to see which filters your print job use and with which parameters they get called.

[Till Kamppeter (till-kamppeter)]

I have tried now to print the document with evince, on the HP LaserJet 3390 and P3005 with HP's PostScript PPDs for these printers and also on the HP LaserJet P3005 with the PPD file for the P2055dn. To not waste to much paper I always selected the pages 20-23 in the printing dialog. All printouts came out correctly for me. The P3005 is connected via network and the 3390 via USB, both using the HPLIP CUPS backend.
