@Sebastien Bacher
Yes, it is. Steps are obvious - just open any ps file in evince and then try to print to file. When you switch to the "Page Setup" page, only the "only print" setting is active, the others aren't. Screenshot attached.

to what sort of printer do you try to print there?

[Michał Gołębiowski-Owczarek (mgol)]

No particular printer. Evince has a dedicated option "printf to file" even if no printer is installed (it doesn't require cups-pdf). I just click "Print to file" in "Print..." list and then there are only 2 tabs and the second one looks like in attached screenshot.

First tab attached.

not confirming the issue there, the gtk version in karmic is supposed to fix that issue and that works correctly there

So, what could possibly be wrong about my configuration? ;/

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic) reached end-of-life on April 30, 2011.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported when using a currently supported version of Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
