Bug#181971: psptools: psplpr loops with --dontincfeatures option

[Arnaud Giersch]

Package: psptools
Version: 1.2.2-7
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hi,

Using option "--dontincfeatures" makes psplpr looping:

$ psplpr --dontincfeatures -o - < foo.ps
%!PS-Adobe-2.0
[...]
%%BeginSetup
%%Feature: *Resolution 600dpi
%%Feature: *Resolution 600dpi
%%Feature: *Resolution 600dpi
[... line repeated infinitely ...]

foo.ps is a simple file generated with latex+dvips (which I can
provide if needed).

I tried to trace the problem and found that the following patch solves
the problem.  But as I don't speak Perl natively and I have no idea
what psplpr is supposed to do here, I don't know if it is correct.

Bug#181970: psptools: psplpr make some images disappear

[Arnaud Giersch]

Package: psptools
Version: 1.2.2-7
Severity: normal

Hi,

When processing some files through psplpr, included images disappear.
E.g. the file



prints (or displays with gv) correctly without processing but not after 
using psplpr.

I used psplpr without arguments. A workaround is to use the arguments
"--dontchgfeatures" and "--dontincfeatures".

The printer is an HP LaserJet 2200, and I used the PPD file available at
. I 
also tested with Xerox PPD files and I got the same effects.

Bug#181973: psplpr: useless argument parsing (-x)

[Arnaud Giersch]

Package: psptools
Version: 1.2.2-7
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Hi,

If I understand the code correctly, the "-x" argument is parsed as a
synonym for "--warn", which is useless: "-x" is already used to change
"opt-prefix" at the beginning of argument processing.
