I saw your Name in the Changelog. Could you have a look at this? Thank you 550828 3 pfeifle 2007-10-19 21:38:26 +0000 I came across this bug report only now, because a comment in <a href="http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/3051">my blog</a> about poster linked to it. Thomas, can you provide more info? * Did you see this error while using the poster utility via kprinter's 'Poster' tab? * Did you see this error only sporadically, or for each and every PostScript file you tried with poster? What we also need: (a) steps to reproduce this error; settings you used on the 'Poster' tab of kprinter. (b) an example PostScript file that triggers this error. Without this additional info, this bug report will be closed as INVALID. BTW, poster works for me. (openSUSE-10.2, which uses the source from poster-20020826-184.src.rpm). I'm not aware of who worked and updated poster after 2002 anyway, but I'll find out as soon as the download from ftp.kde.org works again for me. 550914 4 tibirna 2007-10-20 02:38:26 +0000 Poster 200602 works for me in the conditions of my test. Please provide more information. 551370 5 pfeifle 2007-10-22 16:03:12 +0000 Collecting available bug reports (thanks to Peter S Galbraith from Debian): http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=379378 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=339038 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=255718 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=361088 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=321299 According to Debian bug number 339038, these files show problems with a poster version as provided by KDE: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=25;filename=p2.ps.gz;att=1;bug=339038 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=25;filename=pbug.ps.gz;att=2;bug=339038 Here's another non-working file (ATTENTION, 7 MByte): http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/ls_juenger/people/lange/poster-not-working.ps.gz (this one is created by dvips -- an app that is on CUPS forums infamous for producing non-DSC compliant PostScript, despite claiming to do so). 1123995 6 jlayt 2011-05-27 18:23:02 +0000 KDEPrint is obsolete, unmaintained and will never be revived.
