Hello everyone,
I recently wrote a filter for my employer's line of thermal-transfer
printers, which worked okay under Tiger, but now I get the following
error in the CUPS error log:
cgpdftoraster: got an error from cupsRasterInterpretPPD
I'm not sure why this happens, as everything worked great under Tiger.
This happens when upgrading from Tiger to Leopard, and when doing a
fresh/full install of Leopard. I have submitted this to the Apple
BugReporter (problem ID 5594485) and thought that perhaps some fellow
devs here on the mailing list might have some insight or clues as to
what's happening.
It appears that there is something wrong with the cgpdftoraster
filter, and that the filter chokes on the PPD files for our printers
here, but this worked fine under Tiger. I'm not sure what the problem
could be, so if anybody would like to have the source for the filter I
wrote, and the associated PPD files for our printer models, let me know.
We released these under the terms of the GPL, so there is no problem
providing the source code. (By the way, for anybody who already has
access to the Apple BugReporter, I did attach a gzipped tarball of the
filter to the bug report, which also includes the PPD files.) In
addition, I'm waiting to get this resolved before I submit version 2.0
of our filter/PPD's for inclusion into CUPS (in case your wondering why
I haven't submitted v2.0 yet Michael ;)
Thank you in advance, and take care,
Bill Marr
