Of course, ljet4 is the reccomended choice. However it seems |
| 21 |
that some accounting code in some PPDs outputs blank pages. |
| 22 |
(I've readed that the cups mailing list) |
| 23 |
PPDs have chunks of postscript code executing in ghostscript before |
| 24 |
it renders the page (using the ljet4 driver). These postscript code |
| 25 |
snippets have |
| 26 |
a bug somewhere; this is why it works when the document |
| 27 |
is manually feeded into ghostscript. |
| 28 |
I didn't have time to investatgate deeper. |

I've already noticed this problem with ljet4 based PPDs. Maybe |
| 31 |
you could temporary switch to another driver (hpijs for instance) |
| 32 |
to avoid annoying wasting of paper. |
