[Bug 1366743] [NEW] Ubuntu 14.04 only prints LibreOffice Docs

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I use Ubuntu 14.04, a Logilink Fast Ethernet Printserver and a HP Color
Laserjet 2550L. Under Ubuntu 12.10 everything worked fine and I could
print any file.

The printer is connected via a USB to the Printserver and adressed via
HP Jet Direct. As already said, everything worked fine under 12.10 and I
didn't change any settings on the printserver.

I use the ubuntu tool for installing the printer, as a normal user not
su. Searching the network, for network printers offers me three
possibilities for adressing the printer. HP Jet Direct, IPP and LPD/LPR.
I tried all of them with the same result. I use the drivers from the
Database, not surprisingly HP/Color Laserjet 2550/HP Color Laserjet 2550
Series Postscript [en] (recommended).

After installing the printer the first thing that fails is the Testpage.
The ubunut printer spooler tells me that the job is in progress and the
printer starts to blink to tell me that he is receiving input.
Unfortunatly the job never starts or gets finished. After blinking quite
a while the printer stops an nothing happes.

Interestingly, after canceling the job on my computer and a restart of
the printer, the printserver and my computer, I can open libre office
writing "Hello World" go to print and the printer starts immediately and
prints the correct result. But this only works for libreoffice and only
with text, as soon as there is an image in the document it doesn't work.
I can't print any pdf or even from gedit. Nothing works. Always the same
as with the Testpage. Printer starts to blink but nothing happens.
