[cups.general] stopping / weird-behaving printer with some programs

[Tobias G. Pfeiffer]

Hi!

I have recently buyed a new HP Business Inkjet 1000 that I installed on my 
Gentoo Linux (kernel 2.6.18-gentoo-r6) laptop. Cups is cups-1.2.7, the 
printer was installed using the web interface and the hpijs drivers: "HP 
Business Inkjet 1000 Foomatic/hpijs (recommended)". The printer is connected 
via USB to my ADSL router and I use it with socket://192.168.178.1:9100.
Now I experience very odd things when printing: From virtually any 
application, I can print without problems, output looks fine, the only 
exception from that is kpdf. When printing from kpdf, I experience the 
following:
* Before printing the first page, the printer signals that the paper tray is 
empty; after pushing the "continue" button, it starts printing.
* If the page number is odd, another blank page will be printed at the end; if 
it is even, it won't.
* Every second page is printed upside down.
When looking at the pdf preview in, say, Kile (LaTeX editor), and printing 
from there, it works fine. Taking exactly the same pdf and printing from kpdf 
doesn't. I attached two files that show the debug log produced from the same 
file, printed from Kile pdf preview (print_good.log) and kpdf (print_bad.log)
I cannot say for sure *what part* of the printing system is buggy (maybe it 
isn't CUPS at all). I'd really appreciate your help!

bye
