Description quazgar 2009-01-25 01:20:53 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 3.5.9)
Compiler:          gcc 4.1.2 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

I hope I'm at the right place here, but the latest Changelog entry for poster was by a kdeprint developer (Cristian Tibirna).

I found that for some input, the poster utility produces useless output, the input page's content is made virtually invisible.  See the attached demo files for reproducing.

Steps to reproduce:

poster -v -mA4 -s1 test.ps > poster_test.ps

KDEPrint is obsolete, unmaintained and will never be revived.  Closing all open bugs.
