Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: dvi2ps
This bug was filed under "Kile," but I'm resubmitting it under dvi2ps
because I think the problem resides in some kind of dvi-ps conversion
package.
The problem has to do with .eps graphics in a .dvi file produced from
LaTeX . The graphics shows up in the .dvi file, but it is not
successfully printed when it is referenced by an absolute path address
in the original LaTeX file. The problem occurs in Kubuntu 7.04. The
problem does NOT occur in Kubuntu 6.06 when printing the same file to
the same printer, and using the same driver.
Here is a sample LaTeX file that illustrates the problem,.
\documentclass[letterpaper, 11pt]{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
Suppose a file called ``VectorField.eps'' resides in the directory /foo/bar,
and that the following LaTeX file also
resides in that directory. In each of the following cases the graphics
rendering of the file ``VectorField.eps'' appears
in the .dvi file.
In the first case the graphics appears as it should when the .dvi file is
printed. \ldots
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=2in]{VectorField.eps}
\end{center}
In the second case, a blank area appears where the graphics is supposed to be
when the .dvi file is printed. \ldots
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=2in]{/foo/bar/VectorField.eps}
\end{center}
% The problem seems to be with the absolute path reference.
% The problem does not occur when a relative path is given (say, to a file in a
subdirectory of /foo/bar).
\end{document}
