Hello All, I have a Kyocera FS-1200 PS printer, which has been excellent for donkey's years. For a while now, can't be sure how long, maybe a year or so...the printer isn't used very much, the printer sometimes throws errors. I have spent the last couple of days trying to track down what is going on. When printing some pdf files from 'Document Viewer' in Fedora, and most pdf sent from a Win7 laptop (the printer is networked) it throws an error "ERROR: rangecheck OFFENDING COMMAND: filter STACK 120585 --nostringval--..."
[snip] It looks like I have a solution, which involves switching between use of Poppler and Ghostscript, using one of the following... lpadmin -p <printer> -o pdftops-renderer-default=gs lpadmin -p <printer> -o pdftops-renderer-default=pdftops where <printer> is from 'lpstat -v'. Not knowing what the current setting is I tried both and found that setting the default to 'pdftops' enabled files to be printed that previously caused a printer error. This solution won't fix the problem printing from Win7, but that's another problem! Cheers, -- Regards, Terry Duell
