When printing, the job goes to the queue, but the journal shows and error to the effect that data is corrupt. When trying to print-preview, the previewer starts and immediately shows an error that says the file is damaged. When printing to a file, there is no error at first, but when you open this file with evince, it's also broken and shows an error about the file being corrupt. This seems to only happen with some PDFs, but that includes ones I create with LaTeX (xelatex/xdvipdfmx) and files I have received that report producer/creator pdftk and cairo. PDF created with pdflatex and Adobe, and possibly other tools, can be print, previewed, and printed-to-file-ed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. open a PDF 2. try to print to file 3. try print-preview Actual Results: output is corrupt Expected Results: this worked just a couple of weeks ago. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evince/-/issues/2060 https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/printing-and-print-preview-errors-from-some-pdfs-some-versions-of-pdftk-cairo-xdvipdfmx/139149
Looks like a DNF update fixed this. Very strange. 45 pkgs were updated, but most were related to cups or cairo.
Looking at recent updates, this has been fixed in Cairo. See https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/cairo/cairo/-/issues/870 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2330100. Regards *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 2330100 ***
