Description Marcos H. Woehrmann 2011-09-27 01:42:28 UTC

The customer reports and I've confirmed that the attached PCL file is rendered incompletely by GhostPCL.  Specifically the BB0000000/XX that is printed in the lower right and corner when the file is sent to an HP PCL printer is not rendered by Ghostscript.  I've tested this file by sending it to my HP P3005 and HP 4500 and both print the text.

The commond line I'm using:

  ./main/obj/pcl6 -sDEVICE=ppmraw -o test.ppm ./small.pcl

Yes this does appear to be a bug.  For what it is worth if the file is properly terminated with <ESC>E or a formfeed it will process correctly.  It is a poorly constructed and odd file but not illegal, we'll work on fixing it.
