Description Thomas Schwinge 2006-09-12 15:13:50 UTC 
Hello!

Albeit being displayed correctly (even in the printing preview), trying to print TIFF images with eog I only get completely black pages.  I reproduced this five times.

$ file FILE.tif
FILE.tif: TIFF image data, little-endian


The printer is a HP LaserJet 4L, driven by CUPS, locally connected on the parallel port.


Printing the files via GIMP works without problems.  Also, having eog not print the files, but instead generate a pdf file works.  (I didn't try printing the pdf file, though.)


I could --- non-publically --- provide a copy of such a TIFF file.


The system is an up-to-date Ubuntu dapper one, which means Ubuntu version 2.14.3-0ubuntu1 of eog.


I realize that this might be hard to track down, but perhaps someone has an idea?

Hi there,

I have the same problem with TIFF files.
When I print it from gqview or evince the same file it works fine.
$ file file.tiff
file.tiff: TIFF image data, little-endian

My system is a debian etch, I can reproduce with all my tiff files and with several printers (HP, Brother)

Does anyone have an idea ?

Same here with GIF files on a machine running both Debian unstable (Eye of Gnome 2.16) and Ubuntu Dapper (eog 2.14).

The printer is an HP DeskJet 950.
Comment 3 John Jenkins 2006-10-18 22:57:13 UTC 
I can confirm the same bug.

This with a Kyocera Mita MK-1650, both with Generic Postscript and proper PPD.

as well as with a Konica 7033.

Nothing but BLACK square the same size of the image. Can see and edit the image on the screen however.

Ubuntu Dapper

Hope this gets fixed quick, as I really need to print out these images !
Comment 4 Claudio Saavedra 2006-11-16 17:18:05 UTC 
Could you test what happens if you print TIFF images with HEAD right now? I commited a patch to use GtkPrint + cairo instead of the old libgnomeprint library.
Comment 5 Claudio Saavedra 2006-12-19 00:04:36 UTC 
I assume this bug is fixed in HEAD and eog-ng branches, as I already tried printing several TIFF images. If I am wrong, please feel free to reopen.

So, this is fixed in current development version. The fix will be available in the next major release. Thanks for reporting this bug!
