I just tried several times to print a landscape-oriented black-and-white pdf document (http://www.rev-a-shelf.com/Common/FileFetch.aspx?FileName=I-5PSP15-CR-R.pdf) from Okular. I wanted to print the second of the two-page document; I tried gray-scale and color modes.
The document comes out portrait, reversed black-and-white. The printer is an hpC6380, with up-to-date suse 11.4, kde 4.6.0 release 6. I've kept the default environment throughout except for Packman and vlc. Printing the same document from Firefox in my wife's xp on a different computer results in a perfect page.
Any ideas?

I have Adobe Reader 9.3 installed as a Firefox plug-in, on pclos, and it printed the two pages of your file perfectly. I have had problems with Okular before, and I don't try to use it. I find that printing .pdfs from Linux is quite slow, and if I really need a .pdf that's more than a page or two, I copy it to Windows and print it on Windows. I'm presently using Nuance PDF Reader on Win 7, because of the risk of infection from Adobe, but either way, pdfs print quickly on Win. This is admittedly a slower machine, put not *that* slower! (A 250 page manual took about 5 hours on this Linux machine.) --doug
Sadly agreed, Okular and printing don't go well together. Bugs and slowness both are issues. I don't notice searchable pdf's printing all that much slower, but scanned PDFs take minutes per page. fyi: I know I participated in a portrait / landscape bugzilla. I don't know for sure if slow printing has been reported. Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
