Printing with hplip on some printers print a black page. #17

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

-ghostscrip/hplip can fail with an "Unable to get scanline 0/1" error,
     and cups does not noticies it, sending the print job to the printer,
     which prints a black page, wasting all your cartridge ink.
     After configure the printer in cups, DISCONECT THE PRINTER and print
     a test page. If in the State column of cups jobs web page, or using
     "lpstat -p" you see a  "Unable to get scanline 0/1" message,
     CANCEL THE PRINT JOB AND DON'T USE THAT PRINT CONFIGURATION.

I'm having this same issue on HP Deskjet 5550.  Getting cups to even recognize 
my printer was a task in and of itself... how is dlink doing this?  Maybe we 
can reproduce?  I didn't have any trouble sharing and using my printer under 
stock firmware...

Fixed now on snv and on the experimental packages feed.

The problem was a deficient ghostscript (gs) build, where the build-host sizeof 
of some types was being used, instead of the target-host sizeof.
