(Get the code!)
As it turned out, whilst the previous patch works, there was one issue: part of the data stream from the printer driver was lost! This only occurs when using the Content-Length fallback code, which I force on with the previous patch.
Gory details:
For the fallback, the IPP backend copies the data to a temporary file, and fetches the file size (using backendRunLoop). Unfortunately, earlier on in the code, it reads from stdin to a buffer, which is forgotten about in the fallback case! The end result was corruption of printouts using PCL drivers.
I have now added yet another fix to the IPP backend to write this initial data out to the temporary file and update the length accordingly. This version now prints correctly, as confirmed with hard copy.
ThierryM and others with Livebox2 routers: could you please check that this prints when nohttpchunking is enabled as above?
