This can be done by editing the file /usr/share/cups/mime/cupsfilters.convs, changing the line application/vnd.cups-pdf application/vnd.cups-raster 100 pdftoraster to application/vnd.cups-pdf application/vnd.cups-raster 98 pdftoraster Then gstoraster is not used any more but always pdftoraster instead. There is also an imagetoraster filter which converts many image formats into CUPS Raster, but this does not work with multi-page jobs. Till ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Currently, if I open a PDF file in the Ubuntu 12.04 and print with a custom paper size, I always get the "Unrecoverable error: rangecheck in setpagedevice". I did not see the CUPS raster get generated. Other page sizes printed ok. I think my PPD for the page size should be good. it works well with the PS printer. I thought using different filter may resolve the issue. But it looks like Poppler-based titer did not resolve the issue. Do you have any suggestion?

It has to send "PageSize=Custom.<width>x<length><unit>", with <width> being replaced by the width of the paper, <length> by the length, and <unit> by the unit in which the width and the length are expressed ("in", "cm", "mm", "pt"). If the unit is omitted the default unit "pt" (PostScript points, 1/72 inch) is used. There were already reports that "PageSize=Custom" or "PageSize=Custom.Custom.<width>x<length><unit>" got sent. Please follow the instructions of the section "CUPS error_log" on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems and see in the error_log what gets actually sent.
