TurboPrint & PrintFab

I recently upgraded by box from Fedora 10 to Fedora 12; since then, anything I try to print (normal, not photo, not tried that yet) is either saying "complete: 0 pages" or coming out with a page full of black, with memory-corruption-like repeated splats of white or colour.

The latter occurs with the print-test-page option from the TP controller app.

I'm using turboprint-2.09-2.i586.rpm, with a Canon MP610.

I've gone through the 'install' option of the controller app. (this triggered automatically, maybe due to the F12 upgrade), and deleted the printer and re-added it.

I still had the original CUPS config. I set up, albeit disabled; re-enabling that and printing outside of TP gives me correct output (at least for non-photo printing), so I have to suspect some issue with TP itself.

Is there anything I can do to try to diagnose this?

Yeah, well done Neil; I did look before posting, but it was only afterwards that I found references to bad ghostscript RPMs. I have 8.70.5, with no sign yet of the newer ones referenced.

I'll report back when a new one surfaces.

Should the original F12 install RPM work if I downgrade to that?

Hello,

the "black page problem" seems to have been introduced with ghostscript-8.70-5.fc12:

Bug 563313 - cups driver gives incorrect output with -r600x600
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=563313

This document lists the following packages as bugfix solution

ghostscript-8.70-6.fc12
and
ghostscript-8.71-1.fc12

until they become available, downgrading to an older version of ghostscript helps as well.

Yep, I got it all working again by using the rawhide (latest) ghostscript:

yum --enablerepo=rawhide upgrade ghostscript
