It appears to be any pdf file from the Acrobat reader. I have tried several diferent files from different sites with the same result. I fire up Acrobat reader and it tries to send the file to the printer. The page I was sending was some 950k big. It went through the gyrations of preparation for printing then simply disappears! I didled with cups removing and replacing the default printer then I used Ghostview on the same file and was able to print all 6 pages, then I tried to reprint the same pages and it too, when through the preparation process and the file went off into the ether. From then on I coulndt get Ghostview to print any pdf. BUT, I could print docs from all the other apps before and after the pdf problem.
Any ideas?
Not many... I'll have to try myself. You could print to a file (file.ps), then view the file with gv, for checking, and finally print it. There is also a pdf2ps program that might do the conversion - if it is the conversion that fails, the problem is not cups. And of course, there is xpdf. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
