           Summary: PostScript Level 3 of pdftops broken
           Product: poppler
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
               URL: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+2.0/+
                    bug/277404
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: medium
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: poppler-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: till.kamppeter at gmail.com


To easily reproduce the problem do (d00022-001 is PDF printing output of gedit,
captured from the spool directory of CUPS):

wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21294491/d00022-001
pdftops -level3 -paper A4 d00022-001 > l3.ps
pdftops -level2 -paper A4 d00022-001 > l2.ps
pdftops -level2 -noembtt -paper A4 d00022-001 > l2noembtt.ps

Then send the files unfiltered to a PostScript printer from HP (Ghostscript
displays all files correctly on the screen). The l3.ps prints some characters
as squares, the l2*.ps print correctly. This means that something is broken
with the Level 3 PostScript output, at least for HP printers.

The HP LaserJet P3005 even crashes on the faulty PostScript Level3 output of
pdftops.

See

for the broken output of l3.ps.
