When printing, the page numbers are calculated wrongly

[Lars Volker]

Binary package hint: evince

I printed from a large PDF, which has prepending pages labelled with roman numbers (i, ii, iii, iv...). In the current-page-box in the upper left corner the page number displayed corresponds with the number printed on each page. When I printed out some pages in the middle of the document, is looks as if absolute page numbers were used. Thus it ended up printing a range some pages before my selection.

I printed two pages per sheet, if that matters. I also read through the other bug reports, but I did not use odd/even selection.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Is this reproducible with Lucid? Please test and provide us of feedback about it, Thanks in advance..

I just checked version 2.30.0 of evince which was installed by debootstrap for lucid. The error still occurs in the same way it does with 2.28.1 of karmic. Printing to a physical device as well as printing to a PDF file both show the same erratic behaviour.

My printer printed the pages 17-84. In my screenshot you can see my printing settings

I forgot ... I use Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid (64bit).

 Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. This bug was reported 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 was 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.
