[arch-general] kde4 Okular + Hp Laserjet PCL 4/5 driver - prints greyscale inversed
Guys, Don't know whether this is kde4 or the print drivers, but saving a google maps map as pdf and then printing in Okular using a HP Laserjet 4 via the HP Laserjet PCL 4/5 driver prints the maps in inverse greyscale (i.e. the whole page is black with the roads shown in white). I've checked the driver settings and regardless of whether you specify greyscale or color, the inverse printing is the same. Prints fine from windows. Where to file the bug? Print drivers or kde? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. Rankin Law Firm, PLLC 510 Ochiltree Street Nacogdoches, Texas 75961 Telephone: (936) 715-9333 Facsimile: (936) 715-9339 www.rankinlawfirm.com

You should try printing with GIMP. I believe it'll be the same. Samsung ML-2010 here and I get the same behaviour. Might be due to some filtering chains. As text printing works and I do graphic printing once a year, I didn't bother. Regards

I believe you're seeing https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/21388. It has been fixed upstream, but a new ghostscript release hasn't been made and the fixes haven't been applied to Arch's package yet.

Thanks Evangelos. I think you nailed it. Looks like what I'm seeing was FS#21524 which is merged in the bug you referenced. I added a note on what I'm seeing with the HP Laserjet driver there.
