Fixed in CVS. Ok, Tim added the -R option, but forgot to uncomment the lines. It's now really fixed in CVS. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040803 Description of problem: pxdvi's print function does not work: /usr/bin/xdviprint: line 38: /tmp/xdviprint.3931.dvi: Permission denied lpr: unable to print file: client-error-bad-request The problem is in the script /usr/bin/xdviprint. The variable DVIPSCMD is not initialized, but is used as the command to be invoked. In fact, the script has 3 commands to set this, each commented out. Here is a diff of a work around. I think that the true fix involves some upstream configuration script: --- /usr/bin/xdviprint.ORIGINAL 2004-03-25 11:05:05.000000000 -0500 +++ /usr/bin/xdviprint 2004-09-06 14:09:31.241743856 -0400 @@ -14,8 +14,8 @@ ###### DVI -> PS ###### ## for dvips -# FILTOPTTBL=${XDVIFILTOPTTBL:-/usr/share/texmf/pxdvi/xdvipaper.dvips} -# DVIPSCMD="dvips -f -t" +FILTOPTTBL=${XDVIFILTOPTTBL:-/usr/share/texmf/pxdvi/xdvipaper.dvips} +DVIPSCMD="dvips -R -f -t" #### ## for dvi2ps # FILTOPTTBL=${XDVIFILTOPTTBL:-/usr/share/texmf/pxdvi/xdvipaper.dvi2ps-j} Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): tetex-dvips-2.0.2-13 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. find some .dvi file to print (for example, octave package contains one) 2. run pxdvi: pxdvi dvifile 3. select "print", "current page" Actual Results: stderr gets error messages; no printout /usr/bin/xdviprint: line 38: /tmp/xdviprint.3931.dvi: Permission denied lpr: unable to print file: client-error-bad-request Expected Results: printout of DVI page Additional info: our tentative change to /usr/bin/xdviprint seems to be part of the patch mentioned in bug 101954.
