Greetings,
Working directly with the paps developer on github
(https://github.com/dov/paps/discussions/63)
We've come across a bug.
Current F37 version is:
paps-0.7.1-5.fc37
Current F38 version is:
paps-0.7.9-1.fc38
Latest stable version is
paps-0.8.x
This needs to be reported Fedora maintainers and a new paps release needs
to be made available.
I'm like a rooster tap-dancing in golashes here. How does this get
reported to Fedora maintainers?

Greetings,
My F38 upgrade on my desktop and my fresh install on my laptop (because of an
upgrade crash) are taking place in less than stellar fashion. But given that
things have been going very well in this regard since F27 (circa late 2017)
something like this shouldn't be unexpected.
Trying to focus on one problem at a time, I am now dealing with printing text
files.
For the last ten or so years, I've relied on enscript and then paps. I think
that I switched to paps because enscript at the time didn't support utf-8.
paps has worked as designed for me until the upgrade/fresh install. My sole
availabe printer is an HP P3015. On my desktop, I use the HP Postscript
driver; on my laptop I use the HP LaserJet p3010 Series hpijs pcl3, 3.22.10
driver for the printer.
When printing from a web browser (firefox of brave), libreoffice, evince,
AcroRead, or gedit, the results are correct.
But now with the flip to F38, and issuing a paps command like this (which
I've run for a decade):
paps --columns=3 --landscape --paper=letter --font="Monospace 6"
/path/to/some/textfile | lpr -P lp3
the printer prints raw postscript.
(lp3 is the name that I use for the HP printer)
I suspect that I am part of a small community of paps users. But I would very
much like to continue either using paps or something similar.
Could it be pango (required by paps)? some other possible dependency? Are
there alternatives? Is there some nuance in configuring the printer?
I'd appreciate any advice here.
Much thanks,
Max
