Bug Description

Binary package hint: evince

Evince does not print a PDF document I created using LATex. Evince reports that "too many failed attempts to print". However, I was able to print it using Adobe Acrobat Reader. And printing test page is working well. My printer is a Lexmark E120 conected under a USB port. The problem occurred using the printer's driver and the Generic CUPS driver.

Thanks.

I got the same problem in ubuntu 9.04, but now I can't recreate the problem. But am not on ubuntu anymore, on Archlinux with evince 2.26.2.

Dear Mr. De Vuyst,

I believe this error has ocurred with all other pdf document I have tried to
print. I had to sell my printer recently, so I am unable to test the
correction you suggested.

By the time I acquire a new printer, I shall try your suggestion. I
appreciate very much your concern and help.

Yours,

Ronaldo Alves de Abreu.

Dear Mr. De Vuyst,

The refered lines do not exist on the printers.conf file on my computer.
Would it be the cause of this problem?

I am sending to you the result of a cat command applied on the file.

pinzia, the issue described in bug 463059 is already fixed. If the problem is caused performance problems of Ghostscript, see bug 668800.
