http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4581 --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-11-09 17:18 --- Adding a variable to a system-wide /etc/profile is not helping (apart that there is /etc/profile.d for this kind of things), because it would set XPRINTER to the system-wide printer and not to the user-printer. As I said adding the: export XPRINTER="\`foomatic-configure -q -Q 2>&1| grep defaultqueue | sed -e '[EMAIL PROTECTED]@@g' -e's@<>@@g' -e 's@@@g'\`" to a /etc/profile.d script does the job, but has too many side effects (it's too slow, chokes when DNS is down or cups not started, etc.). If you find something more light for doing the same job, without the side effects, we have resolved the XPRINTER problems... Something like: export XPRINTER=`lpstat -d |cut -d: -f2` is faster, but still has some side effect (depends on printing system, etc.) ... -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. --- Reminder: --- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: NEW creation_date: description: When printing the URL above, the utf-8 chars are replaced by a small square character.

http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4581 --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-11-09 17:00 --- The current printerdrake is designed for doing system-wide configuration as root, it is not possible that a normal user runs it to set his personal default printer or default option settings. The only thing which one can improve on printerdrake is to add an environment variable for the system-wide default printer to /etc/profile or /etc/bashrc or so. Perhaps one could modify printerdrake for Mandrake 10.0 so that, when run as normal user the "Add", "Delete", and "Configure CUPS" buttons do not appear and then he can set a personal default printer, personal default default option settings, and print test pages. -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. --- Reminder: --- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: NEW creation_date: description: When printing the URL above, the utf-8 chars are replaced by a small square character.

http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4581 --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-11-09 15:45 --- The attachment snapshot will clarify what i said in my previous comment. As you can see, the necraw@:33, nec3@:33, nec2@:33, epsonraw@:33, epsongray@:33, Epson880new1@:33 are the extra printer queues shown into the mozilla print requester when xprint is enabled, and they are the cups queue I've available (necraw,nec3,nec2,epsonraw,epsongray,Epson880new1). The default cups queue for the user using mozilla is "Epson880new1", but since XPRINT, PRINTER, or LPDEST aren't set, the default queue set in mozilla is "necraw", which is the first available alphabetically. If I had set XPRINT=Epson880new1, then mozilla would have had automatically set the "check" to the Epson880new1 queue, otherwise every time I need to print into that queue I've to select it manually in the menu shown in the attachment. -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. --- Reminder: --- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: NEW creation_date: description: When printing the URL above, the utf-8 chars are replaced by a small square character.

http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4581 --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-11-09 15:31 --- Note that the support of this env var in mozilla is, let say, "COSMETIC", i.e. it's not that mozilla wouldn't print, but rather the default print it will try to print. In other words one user have to select then manually in the mozilla requester, the the xprint queue to which to print. IMHO setting such var in printerdrake wouldn't work on a per-user basis, for which the default printer of a user is not the same as the default printer of the system. -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. --- Reminder: --- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: NEW creation_date: description: When printing the URL above, the utf-8 chars are replaced by a small square character.

http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4581 --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-07-09 11:47 --- I doubt the native PostScript code in mozilla will be fixed by mozilla authors in upstream. Basically because IMHO it's not possible to fix it without rewriting or merging the whole xprint code into mozilla. Some time ago I asked to the xprint author why xprint code it's not merged into the mozilla itself, and he answered that xprint in this way, i.e. as a daemon, is more functional, as could be used by more than one application. Note that xprint is a rewriting and improving of an already existing Xprt, which is part of XFree86 (but basically broken to produce the same good level of xprint PostScript output). IMHO for xprint to get ready for main it would still needs of a couple of things: 1) An init script with support for success|failure. This is a minor requirement. I tried this but it's a PITA... 2) Better integration with cups (or other printing system). Mozilla uses the XPRINTER env var for knowing the default printer queue; there should be sincronization between such var and the user default printer queue. On xprint 007 I tried to use the following command in a /etc/profile.d script export XPRINTER="\`foomatic-configure -q -Q 2>&1| grep defaultqueue | sed -e '[EMAIL PROTECTED]@@g' -e's@<>@@g' -e 's@@@g'\`" but substantially had two problems: a) is slow and causes every new shell lauched a non-negligible delay. b) causes long timeouts to shells launched, if machine is not networked, a printer server not launched or DNS is not responding. so I removed it. Alternatively it could be modified the mozilla code near the XPRINTER env var checking to get the default "per user" printer there (certainly this is too late for 9.2). -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. --- Reminder: --- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: NEW creation_date: description: When printing the URL above, the utf-8 chars are replaced by a small square character.

http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4581 --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-07-09 04:24 --- Printing via xprint from mozilla works. Unfortunatly this workaround (well, xprint imho is a workaround, mozilla should "simply" produce correct postscript - if xprint is required to do so, the mozilla rpm should imho depend on it) is not an option in the other browsers like galeon which use mozilla's render engine.

To verify whether there is really a problem with GhostScript, I recommend that one tries also to print the file on a native PostScript printer. Or one examines the PostScript to see whether there are already little squares inside or whether the squares come from the PostScript interpreter. In Mozilla is also an alternative way to generate PostScript, X-Print. Install X-Print: urpmi xprint restart Mozilla, and in the printing dialog choose the explicit mention of your queue (NOT "Generic PostScript Printer"). Does it print now?

note that after installing xprint you'll have to restart also
your shell, as the xprint server port is listed in the
environment variable XPSERVERLIST which is set in /etc/profile.d/xprint.{sh,csh}.
After that you'll see your queues listed in the mozilla printer
dialog like "spooldir_tmp_Xprintjobs@:33", "epsonstylus@:33", etc.

I don't think the same file would produce an output, other than empty squares. AFAIK this is not due to UTF8 encoding, but rather a "limit" of current mozilla PostScript output, who can't embed/download fonts in native PostScript output. That's the reason why "xprint" exists (xprint is in contrib).
