I would recommend trying kpdf. Recently, I have had better luck with kpdf than with acroread. Osho On Tuesday 23 November 2004 9:16 am, Stan Glasoe wrote:
I have lost the ability to print from acroread (5.08-202 installed and have tried 5.09-4.2). I have uninstalled acroread, rebooted, reinstalled, etc. Still no go. My problem is that the files I need to print, print best from acroread. All the other pdf printer programs don't do it as well; wrong color, jagged edges, mis-aligned, etc.
I have SUSE 9.1 Pro, KDE 3.3.1, cups 1.1.20-103 currently installed and have tried cups 1.1.20-108.8. Have tried normal updates of programs, rebooted in between, deleted all printers, installed one at a time with no reboots and reboots in between. I tried uninstalling cups entirely but that would require uninstalling 200+ programs that depend on it. I've tried many different files/pdfs. They all will print from kpdf, kword, xpdf, etc.
I have a Lexmark Optra S 1855 laser TCP/IP and an HP Deskjet 5650 USB connected to the system. Both have worked and do work for most printing that I do.
In acroread I have tried the standard /usr/bin/lpr setting and kprinter. Neither works. I see the Acrobat file to be printed arrive in /tmp and disappear when it thinks its printed.
In kprinter I can't find anything wrong. Have gone over most everything three times.
Any ideas?
