Xerox C8055 prints only one copy (solution provided)

Describe the bug
I am using a Xerox C8055 printer and no matter how many copies I choose to print only one copy is actually printed. I already commented at #255 (comment) but now, after further research, I figured out the origin of the issue. In /etc/cups/ppd/Xerox-AltaLink-C8055.ppd there is no option


*cupsManualCopies: True

at all. When adding the option, the number of copies option is respected as expected. I edited the file manually for now, but it might get overwritten, so it would be great, if this option could be added.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Select n>1 copies in the printing dialog
  2. The printer only prints 1 copy

Expected behavior
The printer should print the provided number n>1 of copies.

Screenshots
None

System Information:

  • OS: Manjaro Linux
  • Browser: Firefox (why is this relevant??)
  • Version: Firefox 117.0, Cups 2.4.6

Additional context
As described above, the issue can be solved by adding an option to the .ppd file.

@Photon89 Which package on Manjaro Linux gave you the PPD? Or, to put it another way, where did the PPD come from?

Photon89 commented

I don't know, to be honest, pacman says, it belongs to no package. But I didn't put it there either, so I assume, that it must have been generated somehow?

debiantriage commented

Please give give what you get (as root) from

grep PCFileName /etc/cups/ppd/Xerox-AltaLink-C8055.ppd
Photon89 commented

There it is:

$ sudo grep PCFileName /etc/cups/ppd/Xerox-AltaLink-C8055.ppd
*PCFileName: "drvless.ppd"

I can't find a file drvless.ppd on the filesystem either though...

debiantriage commented

*PCFileName: "drvless.ppd"

driverless tells us the PPD has been generated by cups-filters.

This is excellent, apart from the glitch you describe here. Manjaro's printing system has discovered the Xerox and immediately made it available for printing without your having to do anything. This is driverless printinting in action.

I have seen your issue before. I thought it was fixed, but I may take a look at past history tomorrow.

The cups-filters maintainer would want to know your CUPS and cups-filters versions.

Photon89 commented

Actually, I did add the printer manually using the corresponding GUI. The printer was also available before I did that, but didn't print anything with some error (which I unfortunately don't recall). I think, this PPD file might have been generated when I added the printer manually?

My cups version is 2.4.6, my cups-filters is at 1.28.17. Thanks for looking into it!

@Photon89 Obtain a URI for the printer with driverless. Now substitute it in

driverless URI > ppd.txt

and send ppd.txt here.

Photon89 commented

Sorry, I cannot follow, could you please give me directions how to obtain this URI?

debiantriage commented

Type driverless and press the ENTER key. Select the appropriate URI for the Xerox.

Photon89 commented

Ah, that's a command available in Bash, now I get it! I will only be able to do it tomorrow at work (where the printer is located), at home there is no output.

The PPD generated by cups-filters doe not contain *cupsManualCopies: True. I am unable to test any further because Debian does not have CUPS 2.4.6.

Thank you for the timely and informative responses.

Photon89 commented

Thanks for helping to triage the problem, let's hope, some cups-filters dev will find time to have a look! It's not an urgent issue for me, as I have a working solution already.

Anagastes commented

In our company we have the same issue with alle Manjaro/Arch/Debian Clients.

Any solutions for the driverless variant (which we use)?

Photon89 commented

In my case, adding the "*cupsManualCopies: True" line to the .ppd file solved the issue, see initial report.

since I use driverless, there is no ppd file to edit.

so should I read the data and save it to a separate ppd file with the adjustments?

Photon89 commented

Oh, sorry, I was assuming, that I am using driverless as well, but maybe I mix things up.

Photon89 commented

I ran into another problem now, though I am not sure that it is related. When sending a print job, it reaches the printer but after some time is listed there as "deleted by user" and is not being printed. Obviously, I didn't delete it, it got deleted by some bug or a broken configuration somewhere. So for now I can choose between printing one copy or not printing at all...

Photon89 commented

Solution for this other problem with print jobs being deleted: Set "Page Scaling" to "Fit to Printable Area" in the "Page Handling" options.
