Description of problem: I have a Brother HL-5250DN Laser Printer. I'm using the default settings applied when setting the printer up using system-config-printer except that I've changed the page size to A4 (which sadly it doesn't default to). The Print Test Page option works fine. If I print from OpenOffice.org, xpdf, gedit or the terminal (using `lpr filename' for example) then it prints fine. However, when I print a PDF from evince, I get a single page that has a shaded box that says: ERROR NAME; ioerror COMMAND; fill OPERAND STACK; If I print to file (the resulting PDF previews fine), but these PDF's don't print either, giving the same error. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): poppler-0.6-2.fc8 evince-2.20.1-2.fc8 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a PDF in evince (I just double click one) 2. Select File > Print 3. Select the appropriate printer (if not default) and then click OK
Okay, this seems related to another problem I've been having with getting evince to render some PDF's correctly. see: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=331483 and: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9846 I've updated to the cairo in updates-testing which seems to have addressed the rendering issues on the screen, and it's also had some positive affects on printing. One will now print, but only the first page, others seems to choke under the size of the file for printing, and others still put out the same error message. The file for download here is a good example of one that chokes. http://www.dragonsfoot.org/php4/archive.php?sectioninit=AD&fileid=162&watchfile=0 When I do File > Print and then do a Print Preview, it takes forever to both open the print preview window, and then to display each of the pages in the window. This file will only print the first of the two pages. http://www.dragonsfoot.org/php4/archive.php?sectioninit=CS&fileid=3&watchfile= It's only a small file and it renders quickly, but even in print preview I can only get one page to print. If you print page two using Range (set to 2) then it prints page two.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
