Subject: Jasmine Counter Problem
From: Donny Christiaan <dchristiaan-***@public.gmane.org>

Dear Nayco,

I've just install Jasmine 0.0.2 and running ok.

The problem came on the counter ...
I tried to print text file (contain 1 pages) on two diferent printer.

First, I printed on HP Office Jet 7210 and the log
Sep 8 10:21:00 ltsp jasmine[8455]: User 'edp0donny' printed 1 pages on
printer 'EDP_HP_OfficeJet_7210'

Second, I printed on Samsung ML-1710 and the log
Sep 8 10:21:21 ltsp jasmine[8529]: User 'edp0donny' printed 251 pages
on printer 'MKT_Samsung_ML1710'

My question is, why the pages number so different?

Thanks for your help ...

My question is, why the pages number so different?

Because, if you use pkpgcounter <1.85, there's NO support for Samsung
proprietary printer language QPDL (aka SPL2).

Thanks to Aurelien Croc's work on reverse engineering the QPDL page
description language, pkpgcounter v1.85 now supports this language.

It **should** work, but was only tested on a small set of QPDL files.

Problem is the headers make it look like a PCL3/4/5 file, which is not,
and the parser incorrectly finds a lot more pages than you've got in
reality.

Upgrade to pkpgcounter v1.85 and all should work fine with these
printers.

Please report any problem ASAP.

Dear Jerome,

I've upgrade my pkpgcounter to v1.85 (and restart my CUPS services) but
the problem still there :) the counter for my Samsung ML-1710 still
wrong ...

"Sep 11 08:20:48 ltsp jasmine[10308]: User 'hrd0aris' printed 1242 pages
on printer 'HRDPrinter'"

Please your help for this problem.
Thanks a lot.

If this can help Jerome :
- JASmine-Backend extracts the number of copies from the command-line
- It then launches pkpgcounter to get the number of pages for a single copy
of the document (I need to work on this, i'm not sure this is always
true...)
- It then records $copies and $pages in the database
- Finally, JASmine-Web displays $total=$pages*$copies

What would be great, Donny : "tail -f /var/log/syslog", then print the
problematic document, and watch for JASmine-Backend's debug messages; you
should see something like :

Sep 10 23:00:35 jasmine jasmine[25750]: Arguments: 16|nayco|Current style in
web design|11|_kde-filters media=A4,Normal,Upper

Sep 10 23:00:36 jasmine jasmine[25750]: Analyzing successful !
Sep 10 23:00:36 jasmine jasmine[25750]: Number of pages: 4

What is the "number of pages" you get ? Then look between the document title
and the print options, you should see the number of copies (here, 11). How
much ?

TIA :-)

Dear Nicolas,

I've activate the Debug but my system don't have /var/log/syslog
it only have "/var/log/message". How to activate /var/log/syslog?

Here is the tail -f /var/log/message contain jasmine log.

Sep 11 09:44:32 ltsp jasmine[18899]: Warning: Debug mode is activated,
you should turn it off when going to production ! To do so, set $debug
to 0 in the /usr/lib/cups/backend/jasmine perl script.
Sep 11 09:44:34 ltsp jasmine[18899]: User 'edp0donny' printed 147 pages
on printer 'FOPrinter'

Here is the tail -f /var/log/cups/page_log:
FOPrinter edp0donny 8791 [11/Sep/2006:09:44:33 +0700] 1 1 - localhost
FOPrinter edp0donny 8791 [11/Sep/2006:09:44:33 +0700] 1 1 - localhost

Is there a way in Jasmine to keep the print job's datas in a file
on disk ?

I'd like to be able to analyze such a file.

Or if you print from windows, just print to file, then send the file
to me along with the real number of pages in contains.

This problem occur only on my Samsung ML-1710..
the other printer (HP OJ 7210 & HP LaserJet 4L) working good..

So I think this not about the file that I print but the jasmine? (CMIIW)

No. In fact it is not the file that you print which causes the problem,
but instead it's the printer driver you use.

I first thought that you used a QPDL (SPL2) driver, which pkpgcounter
versions prior to 1.85 didn't support.

But since accounting is still incorrect, I now believe you are using
a PCL3/4/5 driver.

pkpgcounter's PCL3/4/5 parser is buggy, but only for some printer drivers,
and it's possible that the driver you use when printing to the Samsung
printer reveals this problem.

I'm in the process of rewriting from scratch pkpgcounter's PCL3/4/5
parser (98% done already), so if you could send me a file as it send
to the printer (for example print to a file under windows and send me
the .prn file), then I could see what the problem is exactly.

NB : I don't care about the document's content, just print some
website to create a 2 or 3 pages document (and tell me how many pages
it contains in reality)

I'm using Fedora Core 4 with KDE, do I have to print some page to "Print

No, only if you printed from Windows.

If you print from *nix, I believe that unless Jasmine includes
such a feature there's no way for you to send the job's datas to
me as they will be sent to the printer.

The CUPS' data files are the job files **before** the last filter
in the chain will be applied, so they are of no help to me.

Nicolas, could you include a feature to tell Jasmine to store
the datas it receives in a file on the disk when you are in debug
mode, if such a feature is not present already ? FYI both PyKota
and Tea4CUPS use "keepfiles: yes" in their configuration files to
do such thing.

Well, I'm looking at my code, because I coded this a couple of months
ago...

Ok, the tempfile is kept only and only if :
* Pkpgcounter returns something else than 0
* The MySQL query fails (syntax, server not reachable,...)
* I made an error while coding this ;-)

Problem : I just "discovered" that if JASmine-Backend does not get the
file to print via STDIN, it means that the file already exists (created
by CUPS) and we only get its path as an argument. So, this file gets
automatically deleted by CUPS... So actually the only cases where
JASmine-Backend keeps a copy of the file is when it creates a tempfile :
When it recieves its job on STDIN.

Anyway, I can quicly modify JASmine-Backend to take a copy of the document
before it deleted, in case of error. And, why not, do it _even_ if there
is no apparent error. I'll try to do it today.

Or if this kind of line is already present (nearly same beginning), look

Yes, i've added such a system in 0.0.3, in order to feed you with "strange
files" ;-). The problem is the files are only kept if Pkpgcounter or
MySQL insertion fails... So in this case I think the tempfile will have
been deleted :-(

You may have plenty when 0.0.3 goes into production here (work).

You mean when printing from Windows, the file is sent in its final
version, and CUPS does not modify it ?

It depends on the printer driver again, but if you send anything from
Windows which is NOT PostScript, CUPS will send it as-is to the printer.

It's the same as if you printed from *nix with : lp -o raw somefile

The -o raw ensures that the file is passed as-is to the printer.

I tried to print 1 page of text file .. but i count 106 pages :(

Maybe you could generate an error, for example my renaming pkpgcounter
to another name, this way we would have the temporary file kept
on disk and you could send it to me ?

Nicolas, is this possible ?

That's funny, I just tried this here to test the "tempfile keeping"...
Well, see my last mail ;-)

Ok, two things, Donny :
* Do you use JASmine-0.0.3-rc1 ? If no, get it (*), we will be able to
comment a line or two in the code to force keeping the tempfile
* We are lucky: if I read correctly your log, it seems you get the file
via STDIN (if I understand what Jerome says, it's sent raw because of
Windows), so we are in the best case to get a copy of it !!!

I had faced the same problem, with Jasmine 0.0.2, when I print 1
page from Fedora Core 5, jasmine was showing 185. This was showing due to of
driver incompatibility. For that you have to use Generic Printer
(postscript) drivers.
Now it's working fine with me.

I've install 0.0.3-rcl but still have problem.

This is expected ;-) !
But now, if I coded it well, you should have some file(s)
in /var/spool/cups/tmp...

If yes, I thinks Jerome will be happy : We just need to find a way to send
them to him. Maybe we can use my berlios.de bugs tracker, or Jerome has
something to manage bugs and post attachements ?

What you could do is this :

- Download and install the latest development version of pkpgcounter,
which features the PCL3/4/5 parser rewritten from scratch.

- Print something on the Samsung printer.

- See if the result is better now, and report any problem, along
with the data files.

I've install pkpgcounter 2.00

Post by Jerome Alet
- Print something on the Samsung printer.

Still wrong counter when I print from my linux but if I print on the
same printer (Samsung) from Ms. Windows XP (via Samba Printer Share) it
count very good .... (since I use pkpgcounter 1.85)

Is it the driver problem?

I would like to find another printer driver for my Samsung ML-1710.
Any sugestion ?

Glad it works, but please could you send some files to me produced
with your other driver as asked in my previous message ?

It seems your previous driver generates SPL1 instead of SPL2 (QPDL),
and I'm currently writing a parser for it, but I need some sample
files to verify the parser works as expected.

Thanks in advance

Jerome & Nicolas,

I faced another problem using Jasmine & pkpgcounter.

My user tried to print 10 copies of the same page (1page) but the output
only print 1 page. It happens when I use "splix" driver.

After I tried to use my default driver ML-1710 (foomatic+gdi) still have
problem ... when I tried to print 2 copies of 1 pages, the output is
twice of the copy (it print 4 copies) but when i tried with my default
driver without jasmine.socket it print good.

I also tried to print with splix without jasmine.socket but it still
print 1 page even I choose to make 4 copies.

here are the summary:

Splix+Jasmine --> print 1 page (2 copies) --> output: 1 page
ML-1710(foomatic+gdi)+Jasmine --> print 1 page (2 copies) --> output: 4
pages
Splix --> print 1 page (2 copies) --> output: 1 page
ML-1710(foomatic+gdi) --> print 1 page (2 copies) --> output: 2 pages

Thanks ...

My user tried to print 10 copies of the same page (1page) but the output
only print 1 page. It happens when I use "splix" driver.

...

If the number of pages counted by Jasmine is identical to the real number
of pages printed, then your problem is not in pkpgcounter and I can''t
help.

Jerome & Nicolas,

Hello !

Post by Donny Christiaan
I faced another problem using Jasmine & pkpgcounter.
Splix+Jasmine --> print 1 page (2 copies) --> output: 1 page
ML-1710(foomatic+gdi)+Jasmine --> print 1 page (2 copies) --> output: 4
pages
Splix --> print 1 page (2 copies) --> output: 1 page
ML-1710(foomatic+gdi) --> print 1 page (2 copies) --> output: 2 pages

Well, I've been waiting for something like this for months now... What I
must admit is that : First, I still have not understood all about CUPS
backends, and moreover, I haven't got any printer with "strange" drivers
so I cannot test JASmine-Backend in these situations. By "strange"
drivers, I mean cheap printers that are not Postscript/PCL ;-), because
at work all our printers are laser or business jet.

So, here is the problem : CUPS' behaviour is different in raw mode and
'normal' mode. I know that in one of these modes, the "copies" parameter
sent to the backend must be ignored, as the document already contains the
copies. And when operating in the other mode, the backend _must_ take
care of the copies itself...

I haven't worked on this issue for now, and I'm not sure that JASmine
should do copies, because it's and intermediary backend. Well, in fact
i've got a small idea : JASmine should launch the final backend the same
way it was itself launched, using the same number of arguments. It
doesn't at the moment, and always uses the same mode.

Jerome, what are your thoughts about it ? How do you do this in Pykota ?

Hi,

Post by Nicolas Costes
I haven't worked on this issue for now, and I'm not sure that JASmine
should do copies, because it's and intermediary backend. Well, in fact
i've got a small idea : JASmine should launch the final backend the same
way it was itself launched, using the same number of arguments. It
doesn't at the moment, and always uses the same mode.
Jerome, what are your thoughts about it ? How do you do this in Pykota ?

Like this.

PyKota passes the input datas as-is. In particular, the backend
passes the arguments it receives unchanged, excepted the very first
one (device uri) where the wrapper's name is removed (cupspykota://
for PyKota). So the real backend acts just as if PyKota wasn't there.

When printing in normal mode, i.e. non-raw, the copies argument
is probably always 1, because the copies were generated by the
printer driver already.

When printing in raw mode, the backend has to generate the copies,
but since Jasmine is an intermediate backend, it shouldn't do anything
itself.

So what Jasmine **should** do is simply multiply pkpgcounter's return
value by the number of copies passed as an argument, and let
the original backend decide if several copies have to be generated
or not.

NB : CUPS v1.2.3 fixed a bug wrt number of copies. See cups.org for
details.

Well, I need to verify, but I think that is exactly JASmine-Backend does.
In fact, I have a doubt : JASmine _always_ launches the real backend
using 6 arguments, giving it the path to the document to print. So I
guess that the real backend always think to be in the same mode, and
never generates copies itself. Because :

* 6 args : JASmine gets the document's path, and passes it to the real
backend with 6 args. So, both JASmine and the real backend work in the
same mode, and I thinks this is good.

* 5 args : JASmine reads STDIN and sends the data into a tempfile, then
launches the real backend with _6_ arguments. JASmine and the real
backend are thus NOT in the same mode. I guess this is an error, because
the backend will think it does not have to generate copies. I just got
aware of this, because of this thread.

Well, I'm not sure, but I need to work on this. For 0.0.4 ;-) ?

In this mode the # of copies passed as an argument should be used
by the real backend to transmit the input file # times to the printer.

In this case the real backend should send the datas only once to
the printer. Jasmine should be modified to behave transparently
i.e. NOT pass an additionnal argument to the real backend,
but instead pass the datas to the real backend's stdin.

Ok, so this is confirmed... Thanks a lot.

So, Donny, this issue will hopefully be solved for 0.0.4 ! But I need to
finish 0.0.3 before, and while it is nearly freezed (the only thing left
is to code the 'developer' mode that keeps tempfiles to send them to
Jerome for analyzing ;-)), I'm currently starting to work differently
(and more efficiently, thanks to SVN) and I need to review all the files
to adpat them to my new way of working. So I have a nearly finished
product that cannot be released now (apart from release candidates)
because not everything is coherent... Sorry for the delay.

I've install 0.0.3-rcl but still have problem.

This is expected ;-) !
But now, if I coded it well, you should have some file(s)
in /var/spool/cups/tmp...
If yes, I thinks Jerome will be happy : We just need to find a way to send
them to him. Maybe we can use my berlios.de bugs tracker, or Jerome has
something to manage bugs and post attachements ?

I've got an email address !

Just send the files to me as a gzipped tarball, or put them on a

Thanks for the file !

If you look at it with hexcurse (for example), you'll see
PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = SMART

This means that your printer driver produces Yet Another Page Description
Language which is unknown to pkpgcounter for now.

Unfortunately can't give it a more complete look before this evening,
because maybe it's a small variation over QPDL, but what I can say
for sure is that for now you're stuck : accounting won't work until
either you find a parser or documentation about this printer language,
or you install a different printer driver, or I make this language
recognized by pkpgcounter.

Sorry for this.

Jerome,

When I print from WinXP client via Samba Printer Share, it counts
correctly at the same printer (Samsung).

Why it can be happen?

If you don't mind, please make this language recognized by pkpgcounter :)

Hope I get good news from you ...

Because the driver used is not the same in this case.

So could you tell for sure when this doesn't work ?

Is this only when printing from *nix ?

In this is the case, please send to me your printer's PPD file as
present in /etc/cups/ppd/ as well as your printers.conf
file.
