Recently we updated our Ultrasparc machines to Solaris 8 - all is working fine
except this problem:
All print jobs from Netscape now have color problems.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use Solaris 8 XPrint server
2. Go to Google
3. Search for MOZILLA
4. Print
Actual Results:  
Printer prints some pages with wrong colors.

Good example is http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=mozilla

Expected Results:  
No color problems.

The XPrint server from mozdev works perfect but has no truetype support on Solaris.
XPrint server in Solaris 7 works good.

All machines have been patched using the latest patch cluster. Backing out the
Xsun patches does not help.

Attachment: First page of http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=mozilla printed with Solaris 2.8/SPARC Xprt (patch 108652-64)

I am seeing the same problem on Solaris 2.8... ;-((

Confirming bug per attachment 113187 [details]...

Both the Xprt build from http://xprint.mozdev.org/ sources and the
/usr/openwin/bin/Xprt binary in Solaris 2.7 are working properly, only the 2.8
Xprt seems to be malfunction...

Attachment: result on Solaris 8 (patch 108652-64)

I'm not seeing the problem.

I'm using the model SPSPARC2.

What is your configuration?

I am using rolands GISWxprintglue-sparc package from
http://puck.informatik.med.uni-giessen.de/download/GISWxprintglue-sparc-2003-02-26-trunk.tar.gz
but I can trigger the same bug without that package when I add all TTF fonts
installed in /usr/openwin/lib/locale to Xprts font path
