Alexander, we need to know what exactly happens with your print jobs, therefore follow the instructions of the sections CUPS error_log and Capturing print job data of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems. If you have installed all updates on your Precise system, you can decide whether to use Poppler or Ghostscript in the pdftops filter (which is used if you have a PostScript printer, a printer using the foo2zjs driver, or the cups-pdf PDF printer). To do so, run the command lpadmin -p queue -o pdftops-renderer-default=gs or lpadmin -p queue -o pdftops-renderer-default=pdftops After testing with your current configuration, please try also these two possibilities.

[Bug 817049] Re: gs renders images as black boxes when generating PDF files
Strange. I just installed oneiric alpha-3 (32bit alternate) on a notebook, apt- upgraded to latest packets, installed cups-pdf, visited the example page http://www.economist.com/node/17723223/print with firefox, printed to PDF printer, and displayed with evince. Astonishingly, evince displayed the graphics on the first page correctly, page 2 does not contain graphics, but the graphics on pages 3 and 4 are still rendered as black boxes. So the bug has somewhat changed but still exists. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to poppler in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/817049 Title: gs renders images as black boxes when generating PDF files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gs-gpl/+bug/817049/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 817049] Re: gs renders images as black boxes when generating PDF files
The problem appears to be caused by pdftops writing tiling pattern images as Type 3 fonts. I am assuming this was done to support level 1 PS. The PLRM section 4.9 (Patterns) states The ability to paint with patterns is a feature of LanguageLevels 2 (tiling patterns) and 3 (shading patterns). With some effort, it is possible to achieve a limited form of tiling patterns in LanguageLevel 1 by defining them as character glyphs in a special font and painting them repeatedly with the show operator. But section 5.7 (Type 3 fonts) states: Normally, it is unnecessary and undesirable to initialize the current color parameter, because show is defined to paint glyphs with the current color.. The PDF specification also contains the same text. The best solution would be to fix pdftops to use patterns for level 2 or higher output. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to poppler in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/817049 Title: gs renders images as black boxes when generating PDF files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gs-gpl/+bug/817049/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 817049] Re: gs renders images as black boxes when generating PDF files
I don't have Oneiric installed. However I did try: pdf2ps firefox.pdf ps2pdf firefox.ps output.pdf and while it looks correct the text has been converted to bitmaps and as a result is not selectable. I also tried printing to PostScript from firefox and running ps2pdf. The result appears to be as good as the native PDF from firefox. Images worked and all text is selectable. So it should be possible to fix this by improving pdftops to use patterns instead of Type 3 fonts and use the correct glyph names so that gs can correctly encode the fonts. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to poppler in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/817049 Title: gs renders images as black boxes when generating PDF files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gs-gpl/+bug/817049/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I did not set the whole bug report to Invalid. I simply followed the Ghostscript upstream bug report where the result was that the PDF itself is OK but some viewers show black boxes. So I have moved this bug report from Ghostscript to the viewers, by setting the Ghostscript task to Invalid and adding tasks for the viewers.. Please still do the tests I have asked you for in comment #7. The results can perhaps help on fixing the viewers. ** Changed in: acroread (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete ** Changed in: poppler (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete ** Changed in: acroread (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Medium ** Changed in: poppler (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to poppler in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/817049 Title: gs renders images as black boxes when generating PDF files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gs-gpl/+bug/817049/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
