Description Fest 2010-12-02 15:47:14 UTC
When i'm printing photos, result is blured. All colors is mixed, you can only recognize conturs of image. Like it's printing in 256 colors instead of 32 bit (?).

Rolling back to Ghostscript-8.71 restores normal photo printing.

P.s: Gentoo amd64, GCC 4.5.1, hplip 3.10.9, HP OfficeJet 4500 Wireless.

We need a ghostscript command line and sample file to work on a problem, if you don't know report the issue to a relevant distribution first and they will forward to us.

Sorry but i didn't get it. It's my first printer, so i really don't get how everything works. Is there any "how-to trace/see ghostcript output" or at least what i need to show here, or you just want me to report bug in gentoo bugzilla ?

There's been no further action on this, probably because its assigned to the user, not an engineer.

Fest: We cannot do anything with a report like this. We would need to see the bitmap produced and sent to your printer (assuming that is what is happening) and would need the source PostScript/PDF/XPS/PCL that was sent to Ghostscript, as well as the command line used to render this to a bitmap.

Realistically you probably can't do this, so the best way to proceed (assuming you still want to) is to report this to your Linux distributor.
