printing documents sometimes fails

[z80man]

Binary package hint: evince

Using Hardy Heron, 8.04
Evince version is 2.22.2-0ubuntu2
For a recently downloaded document, which correctly displays on the screen, select print, select printer, and click on Print.
For this document, the print dialog closes, and no job is queued to CUPS at that time. Some time later, a job is finally queued and prints. Tried other documents, with similar results, though not a long a wait.
Verified that printers work as expected with other applications.
This used to work fine, so suspect the problem is a recent update.

thanks for the report, do you get the same on Karmic?

[z80man (z80man-bellatlantic)]

Unfortunately, don't have a newer system set up at this time. I was
going to put a Jaunty or Karmic system together, but job outlook at the
moment is shaky, so I had to postpone. I am shooting for 10.4 (I forget
the name at the moment) when it comes out later this year.

Note that I was able to use KGhostView to look at this particular file
and it looks better and prints fine, so it seems to be a combination of
the software and perhaps a badly formed PDF. Some of the time, using
evince, it crashes the printer. As noted, I also have problems with
other PDFs, but that one file in particular is really bad.

Thanks...

could you attach that document causing the issues to the report? thanks.

[z80man (z80man-bellatlantic)]

Unfortunately, it contains personal data that I do not want to place in
the public domain. I will check though other PDFs I have to see if I
can find one with the same problems, but without personal information.

The attached file does print on an inkjet (Epson Stylus Photo R340), but
when sent to my laser printer (Panasonic KX-P7105) causes the printer to
error. With KGhostView, the file prints fine on the laser. Hope that
helps...

Is this still an issue for you? What are you running now?
