>Class: sw-bug

>Environment:
System: FreeBSD hunkular.glarp.com 5.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE #3: Sat May 10 19:52:36 MDT 2003 root@hunkular.glarp.com:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/HUNKULAR i386
The hardware is a generic PC using an HP5550 ink jet printer
(attached via USB) with the (optional) two-sided printing
attachment. I'm using ghostscript version 7.05 and
'apsfilter'.
>Description:
Most (all?) documents with an odd number of pages hang up
the printer; leaving the last page in the duplexer. The
workaround has been to power off the printer which causes
it to spit out the last page.
I noticed on an hpijs discussion lists that someone else
had experienced this problem using RedHat 7.something.
>How-To-Repeat:
You can probably repeat this by getting an HP inkjet printer
with duplexer, then using hpijs 1.3 and ghostscript 7, print
a one page document. The printer should hang with the paper
logged in the duplexer.
>Fix:
Upgrading to hpijs version 1.4 appears to have fixed this
problem for me. (Without changing anything else on my
system, jobs which consistantly hung the printer before now
work perfectly.)
No new patches are required for the port, but the current
"malloc.h -> stdlib.h" patch (which is embeded in the
Makefile) is still needed. Hence, the 'patch' for this
problem/upgrade is simply:
diff -ur /usr/ports/print/hpijs/Makefile /home/huntting/src/hpijs/Makefile

P.S. Sorry for being so long winded.
