It is a known problem with PDFs which use newer PDF features. We use the pdftops which is in upstream CUPS. It is known and it will be fixed in a future CUPS version. It will not be fixed by us, therefore I close it as WONTFIX (for us). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The problem isn't so much that the files can't be printed at all (I think if you use acrobat reader on OSX then the correct thing happens) but rather the Mac users want printing to "just work". It looks like CUPS 1.4 will use the system pdftops ( http://cups.org/str.php?L1471+P0+S-2+C0+I0+E0+M10+Q ) so it's hard to say whether CUPS-1.3 will ever use the 3.02 version of pdftops... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The old pdftops wrapper did not work with the pdftops filter of Poppler, the new one works with the pdftops filters of both Poppler and XPDF (Closes: #457810; Ubuntu LP: #182379)." The Ubuntu builds of cupsys are on https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cupsys/1.3.2-1ubuntu7 and the patch can be found in https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/cupsys/1.3.7-1ubuntu2/+files/cups... I think I will see if I can find a precompiled pdftops 3.02 from xpdf-utils and compile the CUPS 1.4/Debian/Ubuntu wrapper to use it... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=377878 User sitsofe@yahoo.com added comment https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=377878#c8 --- Comment #8 from Sitsofe Wheeler 2008-04-08 10:13:19 MST --- The Debian/CUPS-1.4 pdftops C wrapper seems to work well on openSUSE 10.3 which already has a 3.02 version of (although using it means you have to recompile CUPS because it needs to link against things not provided by CUPS devel so installation is painful). The bad news is that the 64 bit version of openSUSE 10.3 xpdf-tools pdftops (so before even trying the wrapper) produces corrupt PDFs when the binary is copied to SLES10SP1 more or less putting an end to the experiment. Even MORE interesting is that the the 64bit openSUSE 10.3 binary produces corrupt postscript files on openSUSE 10.3! So I guess it's time to file a new bug report and leave this one. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
