Description

Changing Mozilla to print to a PostScript file mozilla.ps generates a non-empty file, however attempting to open it in GNOME Ghostscript Viewer (GGV) shows three blank pages with an error message in the status bar: "File is not a valid PostScript document.". Attempting to print this file using "lpr" exhibits the same symptoms as printing the file using the menus in Mozilla or Ephy. The first few lines of the generated file follow. I had wondered if the printing backend (CUPS and HPIJS) didn't handle PostScript 3.0, but this seems unlikely as I've printed other PostScript 3.0 documents only moments ago (such as a manual page generated by GNU roff groff-1.18.1-34 which had a similar PostScript 3.0 header). %!PS-Adobe-3.0 %%BoundingBox: 18 18 577.45 823.7 %%Creator: Mozilla PostScript module (rv:1.6/2004042215) %%DocumentData: Clean8Bit %%DocumentPaperSizes: A4 %%Orientation: Portrait %%Pages: (atend) %%PageOrder: Ascend %%EndComments % MozillaCharsetName: iso-8859-1 Created attachment 99905 [details]
Mozilla PostScript output file from printing a Bugzilla page
This file also crashes GNU GhostScript 7.07 (try running ps2pdf on it).
GhostScript was dying when loading some of Adobe Type1 fonts I had installed that do not come standard with Fedora such as Helvetica and Times. Removing those fonts is a temporary workaround. I guess if there is a bug, it's more likely to be in GhostScript. Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Closing per lack of response. Note that FC1 and FC2 are no longer supported even by Fedora Legacy. Please install a still supported version and retest. If this still occurs on FC3 or FC4 and is a security issue, please assign to that version and Fedora Legacy. If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct version. mozilla itself is not shipped in FC6, so for most of these bugs that means testing in FC5 or against firefox. |
