Hello,
we have issues with CUPS 1.4.x on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and later, when attempting
to use an IPP URL with the "?compression=gzip" argument.
Situation is very similar to:
http://www.cups.org/newsgroups.php?s1+gcups.general+v2+T+Qcompression%3Dgzip
<---- Main Office ----> <-WAN-> <------- Remote Office ------->
---------- -------- -------- -------------------
| w2k3 64| -> | CUPS | ---> | CUPS | -> | printer |
---------- -------- -------- -------------------
1. Original Generic/Text ipp Generic/Text
win driver
Result: Compression works
2. CUPS Linux driver ipp Generic/Text
driver+
MS PostScript
Result: No compression
Why is there no compression when using a second scenario?
We have to use a second variant in several remote offices since there are no
64-bit Windows drivers for some of the printers we still use.
