|
|
Hi,
I have come across a problem with the printer driver which I can't track down. Printing documents and text-PDFs works fine. However, printing images and images exported as PDFs results into a 'negative' print where the colors seem to be reverted.
It's not the ink. I discovered this problem when I needed to scan and print a certificate (white background, black text, blue logo). It printed the background black, the text white and the logo green-yellow. I tried this out of Gimp, Openoffice and I tried exporting it as PDF and printing it from Acroread, all the same effect. Same with other images. Textdocuments I write in Openoffice and my PDF study materials cause no problems.
Since this was the first time in months that I had to print an image, I have no idea when the problem started (probably during a hplip update, I guess). I apply for jobs at the moment and therefor need to print my certificates.
Or could it have a different reason why it only affects images? I know for sure that it worked a few months ago when I printed these scans for my university enrollment. So I don't think that the scanner or Gimp are the problem but the printer driver. The gutenprint driver don't work for me, so no use trying these again.
I'm using the hplip driver:
Code: | net-print/hplip-3.10.9 USE="X hpcups libnotify policykit snmp static-ppds -doc -fax -hpijs -kde -minimal -parport -qt4 -scanner -udev-acl"

Hi,
thank you so much! Downgrading worked for me too.
Gosh, I tried so much by now and it gets really annoying when you NEED the function but can't get it working. Thank you ;*

Here is the upstream bug;
http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=691733
I had the same problem with image backgrounds printed black and downgrading to app-text/ghostscript-gpl-8.71-r6 fixed it.
Could you update the topic so others searching will find this thread more easily, thanks all _________________ http://dev.gentoo.org/~dabbott/ |
