Print "stopped" sometimes

[dgbisse]

I am trying to get a Canon MP620 to print properly. I am using CUPS 1.48, Ghostscript 8.71 or 9.04, Gutenprint 5.2.7.1, and cups-bjnp-1.0-os2-20120518.zip. The printer seems to print okay when I do a simple text print, and with the test print.

I created a simple PDF file from Firefox 1.0.0.4 (FFtoPDF.PDF), then tried to print it from Lucide 1.3.4 GA. It seems that I get errors from Ghostscript 8.71, and the print job status is "stopped". See error_log for a debug log file.

If I use Ghostscript 9.04, it will print, but it is gray scale, with no color.

Yup - Ghostscript crashed: 3 D [24/May/2012:18:06:13 +0700] [Job 16] GPL Ghostscript 8.71: psi/iscan.c(333): Can't refill scanner input buffer!GPL Ghostscript 8.71: Unrecoverable error, exit code 255

However... this was a known, cross platform issue with 8.71, for which I provided a fix... now let me find it.....

Details are in ​http://mantis.smedley.id.au/print_bug_page.php?bug_id=432

only problem is, I don't seem to have that file anymore - will see if I can find it...

OK - ​http://smedley.id.au/gsdll2.zip exists again now and should include the fix

gsdll2.zip seems to have fixed the problem. The MP620 is my brother's printer, and I have now returned home, so I will have to depend on him to inform me of any problems. The printer worked good, for the few tests that I had time to do before leaving his place.

Thank you...

It seems that this is still working acceptably. This incident can be closed.

Thanks...
