[Bug 1093643] Re: When printing PDF files, halfway trough printer restarts from first page with garbled text/colors

 

Does the problem only happen for PDF printed from evince application or also other applications/files?
Can you provide the appout file as described here to see if it already has the problem: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems#Capturing_print_job_data

According to the release notes of gutenprint, the Canon iP4100 series has improved (EXPERIMENTAL) support since version 5.2.9 and 12.04 still has gutenprint 5.2.8.
Please try if the newer gutenprint 5.2.9+ included in vivid, 15.04 or 14.04 LTS solves your problem.
You can test without installing by using an ubuntu-desktop live-cd.

Title:
  When printing PDF files, halfway trough printer restarts from first
  page with garbled text/colors

Status in cups package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When I print a PDF file, somewhere halfway in the printing process the
  printer restarts from page 1.

  On the pages already printed, colours don't look right. On the first
  page after it restarted printing, text is in the wrong font, on
  another place on the page then it should be, and colour isn't right
  either. Subsequent pages are OK.

  This happens each time I print a PDF file double sided. Might also
  occur when printing other files or single side, I have not tried that
  yet.

  3) What I expected to happen:
  The document to get printed from first to last page with colours and font and layout similar to the document displayed on screen. I'm really happy with my printed document.

  4) What happened instead:
  The document got printed, first few pages where OK except for colours, then the printing restarted from the first page, first page completely messed up, subsequent pages somewhat OK. Lots of paper wasted, and unhappy user.

  Added a picture of the most misprinted page, this is the first page of
  the document second time it is printed in the same print job. For
  comparison, it should look like
