One "workaround" for this which seems consistently to work for me is to first print it to another PDF file via cups-pdf, and then open the generated PDF file, and print it (all printing done via evince). This may mean that a "good" filter is being used by cups-pdf, which might be able to be adapted to solve the problem here.

[Bug 419143] Re: Printing from evince (and perhaps other GTK apps) to PostScript printers is broken
> Are the upstream developers of Cairo also aware that the fix does not solve the problem in all situations? No. Probably because it is a different bug. If you think you've found a cairo printing bug I suggest the following: 1. First show that the PDF fails to print when cairo is part of the printing pipeline but prints correctly when cairo is not involved: a) Check that using poppler to generate the PostScript then sending the PS file directly to the printer bypassing any cups filters works: pdftops file.pdf lpr -o raw file.ps b) Then use cairo to convert the PDF to PS. This can be done by opening the file in evince and printing to a PS file. Print with "lpr -o raw". If this fails but (a) works it is a cairo bug. c) Alternatively you can use evince to print to PDF then use pdftops to convert to PS. If this fails to print but (a) works it is a cairo bug. 2. Either report the bug on cairo bugzilla, send mail to the cairo list, contact me on #cairo or cc me on the Ubuntu bug. 3. Unless the bug can be reproduced on a LaserJet 4050, chances are I can't reproduce it as I don't have the same printer. So you will have to help me debug it. You can do this by: a) Find the smallest simplest PDF file that reproduces the problem. Find which page it fails on and provide me with the cairo generated PS that fails and the poppler PS that works for that page and the printer error message. b) Identify any patterns. Does it fail for every page in the PDF? Does it only fail on pages with images or certain fonts? c) Find other PDFs that fail the same way. Look for patterns. Are they from the same PDF creator? Are they using the same font? -- Printing from evince (and perhaps other GTK apps) to PostScript printers is broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/419143 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 419143] Re: Printing from evince (and perhaps other GTK apps) to PostScript printers is broken
I suppose, that it's not a bug of evince but a feature... Since version
2.27.4 in ev-print-operation.c the lines
export->fc.format = file_format && g_ascii_strcasecmp (file_format, "pdf") == 0
?
EV_FILE_FORMAT_PDF : EV_FILE_FORMAT_PS;
changed to
if (file_format) {
export->fc.format = g_ascii_strcasecmp (file_format, "pdf") ==
0 ?
EV_FILE_FORMAT_PDF : EV_FILE_FORMAT_PS;
} else {
export->fc.format = gtk_printer_accepts_pdf (printer) ?
EV_FILE_FORMAT_PDF : EV_FILE_FORMAT_PS;
}
so that evince > 2.27.3 sends pdf-file (if print system supports pdf-input)
even if file_format is NULL what ever - I don't understand it completely...
In the case of the problematic files evince sends pdf-files since version
2.27.4 and ps-files in earlier versions. This change causes the problem. But
the bug probably lies not in evince?!?

[Bug 419143] Re: Printing from evince (and perhaps other GTK apps) to PostScript printers is broken
The problem is not the fact whether evince produces PostScript or PDF output when sending a print job to CUPS but the PDF which gets sent to CUPS. This is not necessarily produced by evince, but rather by some library like GTK or Cairo. So a real fix has to be done in the appropriate library. Another, but only partial fix would be to make evince simply passing through the input file if it is PDF. This does not cover the case of evince be used to display a non-PDF file (PostScript could also be passed through). Making evince outputting PostScript again is only a workaround for the time being until PDF generation gets fixed. In addition, this causes other problems which we solved by switching over to PDF output. If we do this step, it only should be done in the Ubuntu package, not upstream. Also any attempt to solve the problem by modifying the CUPS filters is only a workaround, as CUPS prints all PDF files from other sources than evince just fine. -- Printing from evince (and perhaps other GTK apps) to PostScript printers is broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/419143 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I have checked the output and both the PostScript directly generated by evince and the PostScript which is generated when converting evince's PDF to PostScript generates the offending embedded font code. This means that this bug is not covered by switching evince from outputting PDF to outputting PostScript. Wwe need a real fix of GTK's or Cairo's PDF AND PostScript output.

[Bug 419143] Re: Printing from evince (and perhaps other GTK apps) to PostScript printers is broken
It's claimed here that the bug is in evince, but I don't actually see the evidence. The "bad" PDFs produced by evince display render perfectly in evince, xpdf, and gs; the output of pstopdf on those files also renders perfectly in evince and gs. It's just the printer that is complaining. It seems to me that *if* the PDF/PS files evince is generating are legal, and just happen to trigger a printer bug, then it's really cups' job to work around that printer bug, not evince's to somehow intuit what sort of printer the file will eventually be sent to after being passed through some set of filters they have no control over. Of course, it maybe be that evince/xpdf/gs are in just lenient when displaying stuff, and evince is actually generating buggy PDF/PS, in which case it should be fixed. But to make that argument surely we need someone to actually look at the postscript spec and figure things out. -- Printing from evince (and perhaps other GTK apps) to PostScript printers is broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/419143 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

That's great that Ocular works, but it's irrelevant. We know that there is something special about the file evince is generating -- probably something to do with font embedding -- that is triggering this bug. But that doesn't mean that evince is buggy. It might be that evince and ocular are both generating correct files, but those files are different, and something in the difference is running into a cups bug. Or maybe not, but it's important to figure out, because if so then the correct fix is to teach cups to handle these files, not to encode quirky rules about cups/printer bugs into all PDF implementations. -- Printing from evince (and perhaps other GTK apps) to PostScript printers is broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/419143 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 419143] Re: Printing from evince (and perhaps other GTK apps) to PostScript printers is broken
Hi, I have a similar issue with my Brother HL2070N (which is not a postscript printer I think). When printing from evince, it fails silently. When printing the same file.ps from gv, it works perfectly. So, I would say it is not a config problem, and probably not a cups bug. Note that the test page is correctly printed from system-config-printer.

Janne Hyötylä do you mean Adrian Johnson's patch of comment #50?
If so, let evince print into a PDF file ("Print to File" in the list of
available printers) and print the resulting files with "lp "
from a terminal window.
If they print out correctly, can you then please try to print all PDF
and PostScript files attached to bug #443026 the same way and see
whether they come out correctly (with images/graphics) for you?

Also a workaround is to set up PostScript printers with a PCL driver (pxlcolor, pxlmono, hpijs), if for your printer such a driver is not listed, use the "Generic" printer entries: "PCL 6/PCL XL" and if this does not work "PCL 5c" for color printers and "PCL 5e" for monochrome printers. -- Printing from evince (and perhaps other GTK apps) to PostScript printers is broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/419143 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

It is not related to a specific printer. Actually, evince cannot print on any of the printers. I tried the latest evince version 2.29 too but it behaves exactly the same.

Loic: The problems appears to be that cairo adds a newline character (0x0A) at the end of any binary type 1 font definition in the PDF. This is the thing that the patch fixes, so you can check for that. Since I'm not really familiar with the PDF file format, and the font definitions/declarations seem to be somehow encoded, I did the following: * Open bug triggering PDF in evince (e.g. XAFSPhoton.. from this bug report) * Print to file in PostScript format (this is to find out the font definitions) * Print to file in PDF format (this triggers the bug) * Open Postscript file and look for "/FontType 1 def", this starts the font definition. * Go to the end of the hex output of this font (just before the lines with zeroes at least in my PDFs) and copy/note the last 10 characters (i.e. 5 8bit hex numbers) or so (this is so you can find the font def in the PDF). * Open the printed PDF file in a hex editor and search for the noted hex sequence. * This should be just before the string "endstream" in the PDF. * If immediately after the noted hex sequence (i.e. the next hex number) is "0A", this is the bug. * If it is any other value, the bug is fixed (basically the 0A is inserted additionally in the bug case, so the font definition is also 1 character longer). I hope this helps and sorry if it's not suitable as a test case... as mentioned I'm not really an expert in PDF/PS. -- Printing from evince (and perhaps other GTK apps) to PostScript printers is broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/419143 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Without printing anything, the printer reboots. I can print the same files using xpdf and lpr with no problems. However, I'd prefer to use evince, given the interface for changing options in lpr is rather baroque. I'm printing over the network. My print job gets routed through a network cups server (running Debian lenny), which then communicates with the printer over IPP. It's a pretty standard configuration that worked flawlessly in 8.10 and 9.04. --Justin -- Printing from evince (and perhaps other GTK apps) to PostScript printers is broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/419143 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
Re: [Bug 419143] Re: Printing from evince (and perhaps other GTK apps) to PostScript printers is broken
OK, I just needed to print another paper. This one came from http://www.iptps.org/papers-2006/Ford-UIA.pdf. The md5sum of the PDF is: 505ec9dfeb58e97fa22975eb4876181d (just to make sure we're talking about the exact same PDF). Attached are the three pages that came out of my printer when I printed all 6 pages using evince. You'll notice that page 1 is OK, page 2 is incompletely rendered, and page 3 is the error message from my printer. The rest of the pages are not printed. xpdf + lpr printed the paper just fine. ** Attachment added: "uia-scan1.png" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/35534533/uia-scan1.png ** Attachment added: "uia-scan2.png" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/35534534/uia-scan2.png ** Attachment added: "uia-scan3.png" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/35534535/uia-scan3.png -- Printing from evince (and perhaps other GTK apps) to PostScript printers is broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/419143 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

It depends on the stream of instructions that evince sends to the printer.

Re: [Bug 419143] Re: Printing from evince (and perhaps other GTK apps) to PostScript printers is broken
Hi, I tried to use evince 2.29 from http://live.gnome.org/Evince/Downloads however it didn't solve my problem. I suggest you to take chance on this. Or, okular (kpdf). printing is not that advanced (yet) but okular is very nice either.
