Does the print preview in other KDE applications work, like in kedit?

Comment 2 bp 2005-10-17 19:53:59 UTC

I do not have kedit, preview works on firefox and open office, will not work on any applications within koffice also would not work for the previous issue 141.
regards

Comment 3 David Faure 2005-10-17 20:18:03 UTC

I'm only interested in kde apps, firefox doesn't matter at all here.

Do you have the "kdegraphics" package installed? The kghostview part 
is necessary for the print preview feature.

Comment 4 bp 2005-10-17 23:25:20 UTC

The default instal for kdegraphics has loaded
kdegraphics3
kdegraphics3-fax
kdegraphics3-kamera
kdegraphics3-pdf
kdegraphics3-postscript
kdegraphics3-scan
-3D, -devel, -tex have not been included

KGhostView is installed and I am able to view a .pdf file

See also comments at bug 123792 (and elsewhere): You need to configure your mime type "application/postscript" for viewing and embedded viewing. Move kghostview to the top of the list.

Alternatively, run "kaddprinterwizard --kdeconfig", select "Preview" and insert a n application name that can display PostScript: if you have "gv" use that, or insert "kghostview" there, or "kpdf".
