Each bug description has a number, possibly prefixed with "*" for those bugs
for which there is at present no fix. The first line of each description
contains the date on which and the pcl3 version for which the problem was
reported, followed by a short summary and possibly a longer description.

Bugs which have been fixed have a line denoting the pcl3 version with the fix.

*******************************************************************************

1   (2000-10-26, pcl3 3.0): Duplex printing on the DJ 970C does not work.
    The command

      gs -q -sDEVICE=pcl3 -sSubdevice=unspec -r600x600 -sOutputFile=/dev/lp0
      -sDuplexCapability=oppositeLeadingEdge -dDuplex=true

    applied to a two-page document generates a file which is printed on two
    sheets.

    FIXED in 3.0.2 (the call needs different options, though; many thanks to
    Dawei W. Dong for an extensive set of experiments).

2   (2000-10-27, pcl3 3.0): Using "-sSubdevice" leads to printing at 300 ppi.
    
    FIXED in 3.0.1.

3   (2001-01-12, pcl3 3.0.2): The "restore" in the following code leads to a
    "rangecheck" error in .installpagedevice (where it says "This should never
    happen!" in gs_setpd.ps :-) ):

	save a4 restore

    This is due to a problem with the "NumCopies" page device parameter which
    is caused by cooperating bugs in gs and pcl3.

    FIXED in 3.1.

4   (2001-07-05, pcl3 3.2): On a platform where "unsigned long" has more bits
    than "int", using Floyd-Steinberg error diffusion gives wrong colours for
    high-intensity yellow.

    FIXED in 3.3.

5   (2001-10-06, pcl3 3.1): "/#copies 2 def" gives blank pages.

    This applies to "NumCopies" as well and will be fixed in the next release.
    A patch is available on request.

6   (2003-01-03, pcl3 as in S.u.S.E. Linux 8.1): Printing to an HP DeskJet Plus
    fails (lots of pages, illegible output).

    My guess is that this is due to the printer not understanding compression
    method 3. I asked the person who reported the bug to repeat the test with
    "-dCompressionMethod=2" but received no reply. If you have this printer
    model, please perform tests with methods 2 *and* 3 and tell me the result.

    2005-02-06: I've no received no further communications concerning this
    problem and therefore declare it closed.
