If you print to a PS file, then print it using command line tool ("lpr -P<printername> file.ps"), does it work?
I don't know if this is the same problem that I'm seeing, but the issue is this: sometimes when printing from KDE (konqueror), the job will print some number of pages and then only 1/2 or 4/5 of one of the pages and then nothing after that. I'm attaching a PDF that exhibits this behavior -- on my system, at least. The PDF has 7 pages; if I print this via konqueror, page 2 will print *almost* to the end, and nothing after page 2 will print. The PDF prints fine if I print it directly via lp or lpr. I'm running KDE 3.2.1 on Gentoo with Cups 1.1.20 and Ghostscript 7.07.1. Created attachment 5863 [details]
A seven-page PDF document.
Is it bound to PDF files, or does it happen with any type of files. I'm asking because when you view a PDF files, even within konqueror, the actual component used to view and print the file is the KDE PDF viewer (AKA kpdf). It is the component responsible for generating the print data. What you can then try is to use kpdf on your PDF file, then from there, print it to a PS file, and view it with a PS viewer (or try to print the PS file using "lpr"). I'm not certain; I only come across documents that cause this behavior occasionally, and most of the documents that I print from Konqueror are PDFs. And I do most of my printing from either Konqueror or OpenOffice (which is entirely unrelated). I suspect that it is only PDF files. When I print to PS from KPDF, it appears to work properly; that is, I can view the PS in Konqueror, ImageMagick's "display" (although I do get warnings about missing fonts), and ghostview. UNCONFIRMED (batch reassigning messed this) Whatever I try, I can't reproduce interrupted printing with the pdf attached. Could one of the reporters try to print this document on another printer than the one that exhibited the problem firstly? In my experience, some of the recent printers (e.g. Lexmark T430) came with buggy firmware that crashed with particular pdfs. Nothing to do with kdeprint. I wait for confirmation. Thank you. I haven't experienced this problem since I started using KDE 3.4. Closing then, please re-open if you have the problem in future. Closing old Resolved status bug. |
