Thanks for the report, could you please try the same with Jaunty or
Karmic? Thanks.
Minor hiccup, only one computer that I can use, this one, an IBM
Thinkpad, and I applied a BIOS Setup password that I forgot about, hence
I can only boot from the HDD, and cannot boot from a CD or DVD to
reinstall. I have upgraded from 7.4(?) or similarly early, and had to go
for the moved archived repositories, on dialup, and I suspect that the
bandwidth into the modems is limited to encourage moving to ADSL, which
is not supported by the Telstra equipment that I am connected to. In
other words, things are glacially slow.
I am hoping to sort out a desktop machine as my main machine, with this
as a mobile, and secondary, computer, and to install a later release
then. I will endeavour to enquire, and provide further reports, as I
can.
I have had to print from Evolution, so did to file as a PDF. I now need
to study how PDF's are put together, I have just made a significant
start on learning PostScript, but PDF's are a bit different. I have
found the comments about the DSC (Document Structuring Conventions) to
be interesting, see this page, and follow the link to Gripes.

I notice that the Evolution output used reals for the bounding box,
rather than integers. It would seem that there may be a number of issues
to clean up in the printing from Evolution. I have done a little C
coding, and I can try to grab the source at some point. I hope to find
something, and I will certainly be back to you. I am also going to
research what is valid for a PDF.
I am also trying to assist in the ongoing care of my father, who is in
an aged care facility, along with keeping the local authorities
satisfied that I am making sufficient efforts at seeking employment that
they will pay me unemployment benefits. This can include suitable
training, and I am going to try claiming my self tuition in programming,
PostScript, Perl, and refresher on C. I will do approved courses, if
they are available, but self train if not. I am living out of a rural
town in Victoria in Australia, and travel for training may require in
excess of an hour of driving, each way, along with significant fuel
costs. It is in the interests of everyone to not have to travel quite so
much, but I am not certain that I can persuade them.

Insists on printing to US paper size instead of A4, despite repeated setting to
A4, looks to also involve Evince
