Hey guys,

Debian testing (wheezy) has recognized the network printer Kyocera
FSC-5100DN correctly, I have first taken the driver offered by Debian
and then the one offered by Kyocera. If I print I standard text
document created for eg. by Libre Office, it works fine. If I want to
print a PDF produced by pdfLaTex, it might print one page but if I
print a larger amount, I get the following printout error message:

ERROR:
undefined
OFFENDING COMMAND:
m
STACK:
--nostringval--
133

and nothing is printed anymore. KPDL is put on AUTO and I have to say,
that in Ubuntu 11.10, the printer is recognized as well and the native
Ubuntu driver has been install. On this computer, printing of the same
document works without any problems. I can print the docs only if I
generate PS files. Furthermore, I have to mention that there was once
some problem on Ubuntu systems wich might be related:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/foomatic-db/+bug/442451

Attached a PDF where this problem appears. Is there a way to take the
Ubuntu PPD file? And if, how I get it to try on the Debian system?

Thanks!

Mmmm, how about using a different printer driver?

Different drivers give different results as they interpret PostScript
files in their "own" way. That say, you could try with (in order of
preference): Postscript-Kyocera, Generic PS, PCL6. You can add as many
printer instances as drivers you want to test :-)

> and nothing is printed anymore.

What's now the status of the printer? Maybe you have to "enable" it
again, AFAIK, the default printer policy is to put the printer in "stop"
mode after any error.

Can't see it :-?

Yes, just copy/paste from one computer to the other but this will solve
the problem only if the error resides inside the PPD file and not in the
cups package itself.

P.S. Worth noting that there are some issues with cups in wheezy for a
set of PS printers.

okay, this is one way to take another driver, but often also offering
less printing possibilities (for. eg duplex or so). Attached the file,
sorry :) Ah I see, so if it is in cups, I could probably report a
bug.. but anyway, in Ubuntu it works but does not get back to Debian
:)

After the error, I just can print further with any computer connected
to it.. that's no problem. I mean the printer itself seems not to have
problems..

So, about copying and trying the ubuntu driver, I mean practically,
where do I find this on the Ubuntu system: I have searched for PPD but
did not find something proper...

Thanks!

Well, that's the goal. Trying a different driver is not to be a permanent
solution but just for testing purposes to demonstrate where the problem
resides (PPD file and not the whole cups package).

Okay, that means the printer has been auto-re-engaged again, good.

> So, about copying and trying the ubuntu driver,

The first I would try is getting the most updated PPD file from Kyocera
(this one says "PSVersion: (3011.103) 1" which seems the latest available).

http://www.openprinting.org/ppd-o-matic.php?driver=Postscript-Kyocera&printer=Kyocera-FS-C5100DN_KPDL&show=0

Or look into Kyocera's site, juts in case:

http://usa.kyoceramita.com/americas/jsp/Kyocera/download_center.jsp?pid=19588&pcat=10563&rcid=10009&rscid=10007#bottom

"locate *.ppd" will tell you where those files are though they're usually
go under "/usr/share/ppd/...".

Does the printer actually support PDF input, or do you have a
filter in place that concerts them to postscript? pdf2ps might
come handy. If the printer indeed supports PDF input, then
I would suggest you install the latest firmware so you don't
spend time troubleshooting old issues.

Thanks :).

But some people like top posting, like me. I think that with top
posting the new message is easier to read than, when it's below the quote.

I know that this can be configured in client and I have set Icedove to
use top posting and K9 Mail does it by default, if I recall correctly.

Though it's generally ideal to go with a conversational style,
inserting new text within the quoted material for context. Top
posting almost never meets this, bottom posting only works when the
post you're responding to is very short. Like this.

That's up to you. And to me ;-)

You can use whatever you prefer unless there's some recommendation in
this list for that regard. I still prefer the bottom posting style for
threading messages (like these on mailing lists) and so I say when
someone sends it otherwise. I like keeping the good manners.

With phones, it's easier to follow top posting in my opinion.

There are many kinds of people, so everyone has different opinion
about top/bottom posting :)

I usually read/post from my phone. I'm going to have to strongly
disagree with that. Top posting makes it that much harder to properly
edit a reply for on a mobile device, which due to the small size,
already is hard enough.

> There are many kinds of people, so everyone has different opinion

Sure, but posting everything at one end or the other is usually not
the right answer. Newer material above older material just doesn't
work; people don't read in random order.

So use interleaving. Which is much the best. I find top-posting impossible
to follow. And trim!!!

Bottom posting has been since long the preferred method for newsgroups
and then mailing lists but not for forums nor business communications.

A bottom posting style does not mean "all the stuff goes to the bottom"
but put in chunks between context, replying inline, as Wikipedia article
says ("interleaved style").

I don't post/read from my phone very much, but I agree.

I have never understood why though, aside from people getting
used it due to Outlook and some others horrible defaults...

Exactly.

The reported bugs against the cups-filters package might interest you
sufficiently to see where you get if you installed the version in
unstable. Reading the changelog is advisable.

Debian list policy / code of conduct is NOT to top post. Please respect it.

I'll echo this one. Particularly when a thread gets long (as when
trying to debug a problem).

It gets very difficult to follow a thread when either:
- there's no context kept in a message (you have to go back and sort
through previous messages)
- some people top post, some people bottom post, some people interleave

Really helps when there's a generally agreed upon convention for a list,
and when people quote selectively.

Just one man's opinion, of course.

Thank you for providing explaining to bottom post. I have now
configured Icedove and K9 Mail to do bottom posting instead of top
posting.

(Illustrating the problems when people intermix top and bottom posting.....)

That's what I thought, too, but then I checked:
http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/

And top vs. bottom posting does NOT seem to be addressed. Sort of
surprised me.

Huh. My god is better than your god, as is my editor, my car, and my

Oh, and where is the "Hi," which starts the first message with
topposting put with bottom posting?

It is obviously not a driver problem, as the driver from Kyocera is
the most recent and works fine on other systems (such as Ubuntu
11.10). So as you suggested, it is the cups which is affected - as
reported by others. Hence I will have a look there (some took the cups
from Ubuntu 11.10). Here the content of my /var/log/cups/error_log

And is there a specific reason you prefer PGP/Inline over PGP/Mime?
The latter avoids these ugly chunks of code at the end of the
displayed message.

And once messages are trimmed like this, they’re even readable on
mobile phones :-)

Hi Cladius,

I think that I understand now.

Yes, there are reasons why I prefer GPG inline to s/mime.
1. K9 Maill can only verify inline signatures.
2. Inline signature is easier to verify when reading mailing list archives.
3. Inline spams people who do not use gpg compatible email client :P

PS. This is email is sent from my phone.

1. It has been reported.

3. Oh, I thought that all clients do like Enigmail. It just shows blue/green banner with valid signatures. Blue for untrusted key and green for signed key.

Hrm. Report a bug? :)

Most archives have an option to download the ‘plain’ mail including
all MIME parts. I have to agree, though, that it is easier to have
the signature inline in this case.

The signatures are also shown with Claws Mails. Additionally, you do
not want to spam people, you want them to read questions most easily
so they can answer quickly.

Is it CUPS or is it the printer? That is the question.

A way to explore this is:

1. Download cups-filters from unstable.

2. Open the package and go to the README and follow the instructions
which begin with the words 'To extract the Postscript output for'.
The PPD file is the one you have for your printer in /etc/cups/ppd.

3. Install the gv package. As root, 'chmod 777 /tmp/printout'. As a
user 'gv /tmp/printout'.

Post the output of 'ls -l /tmp/printout, and say what happens when you
attempt to open the file with gv.

> Here the content of my /var/log/cups/error_log

There doesn't appear to be anything of great consequence in it.

Ghostscript will probably repair the xref table but use another PDF for
your tests if you feel uneasy about it.

It is mentioned in this page, which also contains good tips for posting:

Selfish.
What about people reading the thread years later?

Especially when inline responding (bottom) and your loosy style is mixed?

Really selfish.

Ahh missed that. Knew I needed another cup of coffee. And it explains
why I didn't find that when I tried searching the page for "top,"
"bottom," and "posting."

You can't know unless you try with a different driver (either generic PS
or PCL6) ;-)

You can also try to print a different PDF file with the usual PPD to
discard a problem in the pdfLaTex generated file. With a bit of luck
you'll be able to find a failure pattern.

Thanks. Though one should also take the time to trim the previous
mail to the parts one actually responds to.

>But isn't posting HTML also forbidden?

Yes, although it is less of a problem for (most!) people, as their
clients either display the text-only or the HTML version, so adding
an HTML version ‘only’ increases the size of the email (by about
150%). Bad quoting styles, however, are always visible.

Did I mention that asking for a return receipt for a mailing list post
is kind of…strange? That is, do you really want all >30k subscribed
users to acknowledge the receipt of your post?

Best regards,

Claudius

No, you didn't. I just like knowing that my emails are read/received
:). And I am getting maximum of 5 receipts from this list. Try asking
for receipts sometime :).

I've seen passionate debate on this issue, based
mainly on disrupted expectation (as the Bottom
guy opens the Top guy's email).

Seems to me the important thing is for a given
list to adopt one or the other style as standard
*for the list*.

Take a vote, asking, "Which is more important:
seeing the current message immediately (Top),
or keeping the flow in one-direction (Bottom)?"

PMA

P.S. ...unless, of course, a resolution would be
less fun than the debate.

Neither. Interleaved style is the way to go.

Who needs a vote? The issue was settled many years ago.

Before you started posting here, the polite thing to do would have been
to read the list guidelines, and apply them. Seeing as you appear too
intellectually challenged to find them for yourself, here is the link:

http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMailingLists#Posting_Rules.2C_Guidelines.2C_and_Tips

Under the heading "Posting Rules, Guidelines, and Tips" you'll see the
entry:
"Respond in Interleaved style. Unnecessary quotes should be trimmed and
a question should precede an answer."

Isn't that adequately clear? It isn't a question of individual
preferences, or your religious leanings, it's a list rule, to be obeyed
by all correspondents, which exists for the elucication of all.

To quote:
"Why all these rules? Busy people spend valuable time monitoring lists
and responding to questions. The recommended practices make these
activities more efficient and pleasant."

Hey guys, thanks for your answers!
So the current state is the following:

1.) With the Generic-PCL-6-PCL-XL, everything works fine and the PDF
is printed without any problems. This is fine for me for the moment,
of course, duplex and some other options are not available.

2.) With the PPD driver offered by Kyocera on their website or with
the driver offered by Debian/Testing, the printing of PDF documents
might fail (especially longer ones). On the other hand, it is no
problem to print a long Libre Office Writer document, with lots of
pictures.

So as you suggested, it is probably a cups problem. I have seen that
someone installed the cups of Ubuntu 11.10 for a similiar problem with
another printer...?

Best wishes,
leo

Generic PCL/6 PCL XL Printer - CUPS+Gutenprint offers duplex printing.
What are you using?

One of life's mysteries! Libre Office's output for printing is (or
should be) in PDF format, so CUPS sees PDF input in either case.

I'm not sure who writes these rules, and what their exact authority is,
but the page itself acknowledges that it does not constitute "official
information", and as others have noted, the official code of conduct
does not specify posting style.

Those "rules" (I prefer to see them as "tips for good guidance") are
written by all of us, people like you or me, that is, people who
participate in the mailing lists.

Should someone wants (again) to open the debate about the proper way of
posting in a mailing list, I'd suggest doing a poll to see what the
majority of the participants have to say about the matter. I will be more
than happy to stick to what the most of the people wants.

Hey, good :-)

As Brian says, that PPD file should include duplex printing options, if
we carefully look inside we can see the available options:

***
http://www.openprinting.org/ppd-o-matic.php?driver=pxlcolor&printer=Generic-PCL_6_PCL_XL_Printer&show=1

*OpenUI *Duplex/Double-Sided Printing: PickOne
(...)

When you encounter a problematic PDF file that rejects from printing, try
to convert it into PS and print instead the postscript file (you can use
GNOME or KDE embedded virtual printer to get a PS file or use "gs" to make
the conversion).

I would avoid that path. Any problem with Cups package should be reported
to Debian BTS so it can be corrected and all of Debian users benefit of it.

Yes, and I'd suggest sending any future new subscriber a direct link
to the rules/tips agreed to -- or even the actual document -- rather
than insulting his intelligence later for not "finding for himself".

Nobody has been insulted :-?

I don't know what kind of information a user receives when is subscribed
to the lists because I'm not "subscribed", I just follow them, read and
post (this is an open list, no need for subscription).

Anyway, it's normal for mailing list newcomers to be unaware of these
conventions, that's why I usually "politely" note that html formatted
messages need to be avoided and also top-posting when I see a bad
formatted post.

Worth to remember that common sense is the best of the rules.

I don't know, but the way this workes in other projects I've participated
these conventions are made and developed by their user members, which
includes all of us.

IMO, they both complement each other.

The only difference between "www.debian.org" and "wiki.debian.org" is
that normal users can edit the latter but only users with commit rights
can alter the former.

Granted, no-one has screamed. I saw, BTW, only an unattributed quote,

In this case (as often!) you needed to have read the thread rather than
reacting to an out of context quote. We have all, of course, done the

If Debian had an award for Most Inane Question of the Year yours would
most definitely be well in the running based on the Search Engine Test.
Applying a few of the other criteria the judges might consider:

Does it help the person who started the thread?
Does it add value to the topic in the subject header?
Does having it labelled [OT] make it more acceptable?
Does the poster appear to be wearing a trolling costume?

you can anticipate being a winner.

I'm not sure, probably.

I didn't label this. This was some other thread at first :).

Right... but in this case, the Debian project is a pretty big one, with
some formal governance, and the rules are written to govern a whole
bunch of lists. So I kind of wonder if there's any formality somewhere
along the chain, like there is with committing things to the Debian repos.

Just sort of curious at this point.

Cheers,

Miles

This seems like an interesting question for people not following Debian
very closely so I think it deserves to be discussed here (but I'm
changing the subject).

By default Debian works as a do-ocracy. That means that whoever is
(currently) in charge over an area, in our case the mailing lists,
(a.k.a. the listmasters) are responsible for amending the rules.

Problems or wishes can be reported against the pseudo-package
lists.debian.org[1], but do (as usual) check existing bug reports and it
helps a lot if you include a patch as well.

Assuming the listmasters, or any other Debian Developer (DD), have done
something that others do not agree with the issue is usually brought
before a larger audience (typically debian-devel for technical issues,
debian-project for things such as the lists' CoC). Most issues are then
solved after (sometimes lengthy) discussions.

If a consensus can still not be reached there are two options: 1) a
General Resolution (GR) to override a DD decision or 2) the Technical
Committee.

While a GR can be proposed only by Debian Developers anyone can bring a
matter before the Technical Committee[2]. Please note that both options
are seldom used as they are considered very disrupting, demotivating,
etc. etc.

At any point during the above one may involve also the DPL (Debian
Project Leader), assuming s/he may have missed the issue. The DPL may
then act as a mediator, but could (in extreme cases) also revoke a
delegation[3].

For all the gory details read the Constitution.

[1] most if not all non-packaging areas have pseudo-packages in the BTS,
the one notable exception being DSA (Debian System Administrators) who
use RT (for security/privacy reasons?).
[2] issues brought to the Technical Committee are, of course, of a
technical nature. See the bugs for the corresponding pseudo-package for
more insight
[3] some non-packaging jobs in Debian are done by DPL Delegates, e.g.
the ftpmasters or DSA.

Kind regards,
Andrei

Though I know this won't fill up your thirst for knowledge, in the
absence of more information on this regard (on this "policy") I keep as
good what is written at Debian website and their wiki.

For a deep look inside this, I would ask into Debian project mailing
list, or another mailing list that suits for this question.

I am luckily insulated from a lot of these things, as my client does not
honour return receipts and opts for the text portion. But, have we really
had return receipts, HTML mail and top-posting all in the same thread? ☹

Yes we did, but you are forgetting GPG clearsigning vs GPG S/MIME and
was there something else... ☺

Some may be interested in 't-prot', which (with a willing mail client) can be
configured to strip out inline PGP and replace with a summary instead.

AIUI, corporates like it because each email has *all* the messages and
hence a complete record for audit/"witch hunting" etc.

Yes it does! That is what bottom posting is.

There is also "conversation style" or "interleaved style" which is the
tried and proven preferred way for mailing lists; i.e the style you and
many others use.

If I was using "bottom posting" I'd have just dumped everything at the
bottom regardless.

It isn't a matter of whether it's forbidden or not, its a matter of
whether you want someone to bother taking time out to help you. If you
post in a style that pisses people off then they are not going to bother
reading any posts by that said person, pure and simple. Ok, there seems
to be the odd masochist around, but in general, if you don't take time
to prepare an easy to read post why should anybody take time to help
you?

Wow, you trimmed your post! Well done. ;) And you also got rid of that
*awwwfulll* GPG rubbish at the end of your post. Please keep it up.

How utterly ridiculous and pointless to sign messages posted to mailing
lists. I agree with Chris Bannister.

In case you haven't noticed, there are other people who are signing
messages, which are sent to mailing lists.
Do you think that it would be better if people spoofed my email and
sent offensive messages to the list and noone had any way to check did
I really sent those messages?

GPG Inline signature is easier to verify if you copy-paste that email
from mailing list archive.

I cannot use S/MIME, because it's not supported by APG nor K9 Mail.

Who would want to spoof YOUR Mail.

I have been on this list for 19 years now and do not recall anyone being
spoofed. From the tenor of your mails, I doubt anyone would gain
anything from it.

Wanting to spoof and being able to spoof are two different things.

Some of those people do so to authenticate that they have the authority
they claim, others are w*nkers and/or just ill-informed.

> Do you think that it would be better if people spoofed my email

Is that something you expect? That's a rhetorical question :-)

For the purposes of intelligent discussion let's pretend that a spoofed
email *could* be published:-


PGP won't stop that - *even if you knew how to sign post properly*[*1].
It's maths not magic. All it guarantees is that the message has not been
altered.

How do we know who you are? Without a chain of trust your key is
worthless in establishing your identification. The real Mika Suomalainen
may be someone whose reputation you wish to tarnish. No more unlikely
than the scenario that you propose your *invalid* digital signatures
would protect against.

What's to stop you, or someone claiming to be you, from posting unsigned
messages - then claiming it's not you because it wasn't signed with the
same key?

How do we know you control your computer and your private key?


[*1] if you believe people should copy, paste and edit your post, and
download you key - in the misguided belief it'll validate something...
you're mistaken.


Note that Thunderbird and Enigmail are available for Android - and they
will correctly sign posts so that they will validate.



Kind regards (and Happy Religious Festival)

Apart from Mika... in which case he's best to not sign his posts and
claim his account was hijacked by an idiot.

A giraffe and a zebra are two different things also. So what?


Do you even know what spoofing is?
What makes you think a spoofed email address is going to get published
and why haven't you filed a bug report?

Forging email to look like being send from another address unless it
has got a different meaning lately.

As far as I know, this list is unmoderated and everyone can post here.
If I understood correctly, it also means that there is no checking is
email address spoofed or not.

Pay particular attention to the last point two points and consider how
many people endorse your line of reasoning.

Spam control using SPF maybe??

ie. not requiring people subscribe has nothing to do with checking that
messages come from valid mailers.

Unmoderated means no official moderator/s, not that the list isn't
self-moderating. ;-)

NOTE: I'm not telling you *not* to sign your mails - just your
justification for doing so is false, and your signature is invalid.

If the signature was valid, those of us that do use Engimail *wouldn't*
see that chunk of text.

Kind regards

As far as I know, I have valid signature. That block which was pasted
here is shown as invalid, because the one who first started
complaining about it didn't use Enigmail and/or pasted only the
signature block without message which it belongs to.

The other thing Mika, apart from that huge chunk of signature, why on
earth ask for a return receipt.
Thats crazy on a mailing list unless you want to see how mant actually
read your postings.
I use Claws mail ans I can read mail without sending a receipt,pretty
sure Evo does the same, nearly all the linux mail clients are able to
read mail without sending a receipt.
Its only MS based mail clients that will send a receipt on opening a
mail, and this is NOT a windows list.

I'm not sure "utterly" is quite the word.
Nobody in signing thinks a signature is
needed to identify him.

It does tend to announce to the recipient that the sender has
a wildly exaggerated sense of self-importance, which I suppose
could be construed as useful. :)

I am very wary of requests for return receipts: it is/would be a very good
way for a bot to identify which of the email addresses it had generated were
valid. I never (I hope!) send them.

No sir, is just the name what is misleading. "Bottom posting" also
applies for an inline style. Regardless its name, the main idea remains
the same: the reply goes below of the text you are responding.

That's also bottom posting ;-)

You may have a valid signature, but the way you have Icedove
configured to post your signature inline both means that it clutters up
viewing and replying, and prevents automatic signature validation (at
least in mutt) from working. While there's a well known procmail recipe
to convert clearsigned signatures to detached signatures, I personally
stopped using it, as clearsigned signatures are rare and deprecated.
I'd recommend switching to a detached signature.

This is fallacious, dangerous, and probably insulting thinking.

I'm sure that many people on this list are eg, sysadmins for large or
important installations. Or perhaps they are researchers,
decision-makers, free software developers, or any of a myriad of
other important things.

If you're at least some of the time sending mail that is important to be
reliably attributed to you, it *absolutely* makes sense to sign that
mail. If you're signing some mail, you might as well sign all of it, as
this will habituate people to expect your mail to be signed, and avoid
you needing to decide what's important enough to sign. It also acts as a
nice signal that you can handle encrypted mail, which needs to be used
more widely.

Yes, but not everyone signs in-line. You don't, for example.

Does signing "in-line" specifically mean typing my name into a given email,
or does it include also whatever signature text I've told my email program
to append automatically?

Yeah, but to a *mailing* *list* ??? I think not...

So, since I sometimes need big, thigh high rubber boots to keep my feet and
legs dry and clean, I should just wear my big rubber boots everywhere all
time then, right? That way whether I'm at the grocery store, the office, or
the barn there'll be no worries. :D

Seriously, when people sign every mail with a key (or request email return
receipts) they're either saying "look how cool *I* am", or "my desire to
$[express my geekiness | indulge my paranoia] trumps your wish to simply
read email".

Besides, if everyone signed all mail it'd be a very short matter of time
til the means to spoof any gpg/pgp key would appear.
If you and I work together on a secret project for a defense contractor,
or in banking or something it makes senseto sign business-related emails
to one another. For casual communication it's just madness.

Of course, that's merely my opinion. :)
