[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#690982: Printouts are incomplete

[Michael Biebl]

Package: cups
Version: 1.5.3-2.3
Severity: grave

I've tried to print several documents today.
All of them where broken, as only parts of the page are printed.

Downgrading to the wheezy version fixes this problem completely and this
issue is 100% reliably reproducible. So I'm marking this bug as grave,
to not let this version migrate to testing.

As an example, I've printed the test page with the wheezy version and
the sid version of cups and scanned them again (attached as jpg).

You can notice that with version 1.5.3-2.3 only about half the page is
printed.

I tested different printer drivers, the result was always the same.

Cheers,
Michael
