Comment 1 Albert Astals Cid 2023-10-29 11:33:35 UTC
Print preview doesn't work because opensuse decided to break it, complain to them.

Print preview doesn't really have anything with printing though, does printing work or not?
Comment 2 herbert.stroebele@freenet.de 2023-10-29 12:18:47 UTC
Thanks for the prompt reply! and the comment about print preview!.
But it is indeed the case that 
 okular doesn't print pdf data after upgrading leap 15.2 to 15.5. > 
The same files which I printed successfully before the upgrade cannot be printed after the upgrade..
 Is xfce the culprit?

Can you be a bit more precise on what "doesn't print pdf data" mean?

You get an error? which error?

Also can run
   which lpr
in a terminal and tell me the output?
Comment 4 herbert.stroebele@freenet.de 2023-10-29 12:40:49 UTC
OK. After I open a file with extension  .pdf with okular,  I hit the print button. Nothing happens. No error message! In a terminal I use lpstat to view the printer status. It contains the print job without executing it. After opening a .jpg file with okular I can print it!

Again using lpr ...pdf in a terminal I can print the same pdf which from okular won't print.
This behaviour of okular  is new, after I upgraded from leap 15.2 to leap 15.5 directly using a memory stick with the 15.5 version


Thanks for your efforts!
Herbert

Comment 5 herbert.stroebele@freenet.de 2023-10-29 14:47:46 UTC
When starting okular from a terminal with
stroebele@HS-HP-Pavilon:~/Dokumente/A_S/HADES/Reiko> okular --print Expedia_Rechnung.pdf 
I get a warning:

(okular:12787): Gtk-WARNING **: 15:29:55.370: Theme directory /apps of theme adwaita-xfce has no size field



Is this the problem??
Thanks
Herbert

No.

Anyway please ask the opensuse developers which package you need to install to fix the ghostscript regression on their side, this may also fix printing, or at least you'll have a bug less.
