Comment 12 for bug 1366743

hans@Hacker:~/lpadmin -p HP-Color-LaserJet-2550 -o pdftops-renderer-default=gs

hans@Hacker:~/printerdata$ lpr -P HP-Color-LaserJet-2550 -o psdebug FC.pdf

As before

hans@Hacker:~/printerdata$ sudo restart cups
[sudo] password for hans:
cups start/running, process 7966
hans@Hacker:~/printerdata$ lp -d HP-Color-LaserJet-2550 -o psdebug FC.pdf
request id is HP-Color-LaserJet-2550-57 (1 file(s))

Again nothing... :(

hans@Hacker:~/printerdata$ sudo gedit /etc/cups/cups-files.conf
hans@Hacker:~/printerdata$ sudo restart cups
cups start/running, process 8983
hans@Hacker:~/printerdata$ lpadmin -p test -E -v file:/tmp/printout -P /etc/cups/ppd/HP-Color-LaserJet-2550.ppd

Start the printing of FC.pdf with "test"

hans@Hacker:~/printerdata$ sudo cp /tmp/printout ~
hans@Hacker:~/printerdata$ sudo chmod 777 ~/printout
hans@Hacker:~/printerdata$ cd ..
hans@Hacker:~$ ls -l | grep printout
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 300692 Nov 3 21:35 printout
hans@Hacker:~$ nc -w1 10.0.0.5 9100 < printout
^C
hans@Hacker:~$

Again nothing. I uploaded the new printout. Interestingly it seems to be still produced by cairo/poppler "pdftops" filter. I entered the command "lpadmin -p HP-Color-LaserJet-2550 -o pdftops-renderer-default=gs" several times, even with restarts but the output was always the same. Do I need to have some special package installed to get that to work?
