It's impossible to print more than one file in one lpr command to a cups-pdf printer
Last modified: 2017-07-25 15:09:06 EDT
Created attachment 596357 [details] /etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf Description of problem: I tried to print more than one file to a cups-pdf printer in *one* lpr command. But the printing fails: 1. In one case, only the first file is printed, but the generated pdf file is multilated 2. In most other cases, no file is printed (no pdf file is generated), and the lpq command shows that all print jobs remain in the print queue. I have to cleanup them with lprm, and additionally to restart cups. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cups-pdf-2.6.1-1.fc17.x86_64 cups-libs-1.5.2-12.fc17.i686 cups-1.5.2-12.fc17.x86_64 cups-libs-1.5.2-12.fc17.x86_64 cups-pk-helper-0.2.2-1.fc17.x86_64 How reproducible: Almost all times Steps to Reproduce: 1.lpr <file-1> <file-2> ... -P<pdf-printer> 2. 3. Actual results: see description Expected results: All file are properly printed into pdf-files Additional info:

This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '17'. 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 17'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 17 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, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. 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.
Same problem in F19: "lpr -P<pdf-printer> /etc/passwd /etc/group": in the PDF target directory only the printed /etc/passwd appears, but no printout of /etc/group.
Same behaviour in F20.
