Try to preview multiple pages per sheet into print dialog does not work.

[Juanma]

Ubuntu 14.10 (Unity) amd64
Cups: 1.7.5-3ubuntu3.1
hplip: 3.14.6-1ubuntu1
libgtk-3-0:amd 3.12.2-0ubun amd64

Example with Evince program:

   I try to preview into print dialog 2 (or more) pages per sheet.With a PDF file, the opened preview windows shows only an empty page when I choose 2 pages per sheet, and only shows one miniature page ( but several pages are show stacked on top of each other, overlapping ) when choose 4 or more pages per sheet . The same file, but convert to POSTSCRIPT (with pdftops ), shows always only 1 page, no matter what number of pages per sheet I choose.

The same behaviors occurs with GEdit program for example.

The print dialog and its preview facility are part of GTK, not of CUPS. If the printout commes out correctly, this is not a CUPS problem.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

Works fine for me in evince, with some test pdfs of my own
