Description Tim Jowers 2006-11-04 12:49:22 UTC
Description of problem:
Try to print. Nothing is printed. Others on Scribus email list have this problem
with FC6 after upgrade from FC5. I have this problem on fresh install of FC6.
Another also has this problem with OpenOffice.org's Impress after a fresh
upgrade.

Yes, I see this here too -- thanks for reporting it.  Will investigate.

effcups bug report in the morning

Maybe related to printing as this occurred after trying to print with OO
impress - albeit this occurred several ohours later and was seen the next
morning.

Comment 3 Tim Waugh 2006-11-05 15:04:30 UTC
No, this is not related.  Please report that eggcups crash as a separate bug
report, against the 'desktop-printing' component.

FWIW, *this* bug seems to be in foomatic; at least, printing to a non-foomatic
queue seems to avoid the problem.

Comment 4 Tim Waugh 2006-11-06 12:05:39 UTC
Hmm, no, this really is a CUPS bug, not foomatic.

Comment 5 Tim Waugh 2006-11-06 12:45:42 UTC
Reported upstream.

Comment 6 Tim Waugh 2006-11-07 15:27:14 UTC
Seems like this might be an OpenOffice.org problem of some kind.

Comment 7 Caolan McNamara 2006-11-07 17:24:14 UTC
So this only with 2-up printing, i.e. if you use impress, print and don't select
that it works ? 

If so, what happens if you print to file (without 2-up), use evince to open that
.ps and use print there and 2-up printing ? Does that work ?

Comment 8 Tim Waugh 2006-11-07 17:58:41 UTC
If I do that, evince only shows there being one page. :-)

If I print it using 'lp -onumber-up=2 -dstylus' I get the same problem as before.

Comment 9 Greg Pittman 2006-11-08 00:36:33 UTC
In Scribus, the workaround is to check Alternative Printing Command in printing
requester, then enter 'lp -dprintername'

Comment 10 Caolan McNamara 2006-11-08 16:17:10 UTC
I *think* what I see is postscript where for some reason "%%EndResource" is not
at the start of the line but appended to the previous line, that might explain this

Comment 11 Tim Waugh 2006-11-08 16:24:15 UTC
I see that too, and it's certainly a bug.  However, editing the PostScript to
put the '%%EndResource' on the next line doesn't seem to fix it. 'lp
-onumber-up=2 -dstylus' gives the same GhostScript error as before in error_log.

Comment 12 Caolan McNamara 2006-11-09 09:33:20 UTC
Well psnup on a sample .ps gives a renderable output.ps while lp -onumber-up=2
doesn't

Comment 13 Caolan McNamara 2006-11-09 10:56:39 UTC
oky doky, a mixture of openoffice.org issuezilla 65491 and a little sprinkling
of my own crack. Fix checked in, will be in next update.

Though clearly any remaining problem in scribus is outside my control

Comment 14 Tim Waugh 2006-11-11 11:02:19 UTC
Fix confirmed here with openoffice.org-core-2.0.4-5.5.2.

Tim: if you are also having problems with Scribus, please file a separate bug
report for that.  Thanks.
