Re: scaling problems with 7.2.1

[Shaun Jurrens <shaun@xxxxxxxxx>]

hi again,

just an update on the scaling problems.  I tried the gimp driver and the
test print worked ok, but with much lower quality (300dpi).  Printing with
it did _not_ however, work.  The print crashed with the stp driver not
handling the "plain" option (for paper type):

Plain is not a valid media type
AFPL Ghostscript 7.03: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1
awk: cmd. line:1: (FILENAME=- FNR=3140) fatal: print to "standard output"
failed
 (Broken pipe)


The omni driver did not want to install even though SETUP could list it as
one of the installed drivers.  I just got into an endless loop of SETUP
telling me the driver isn't there and then listing it again, but there are
omni drivers installed: 

johnny:/home/shaun% ll /usr/local/share/apsfilter/driver/omni/HP*    
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  624 Dec 29 18:17

...

Ghostview also displays the pages with the correct scaling.

Basically, I'm back at square one.  Guess I'll study the cvs for a while
and see if I can see what/where/how things have changed.  Something is
passing a scaling variable somewhere that is wrong.  I have lots of logs
but I can't see apsfilter complaining about any mistakes, except for the
hostname issue.
