Bug ID: 404549
Summary: Printing N copies results in N^2 copies printed
instead
Product: okular
Version: 1.6.2
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: printing
Assignee: okular-de...@kde.org
Reporter: freezeb...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Instead of printing N copies of PDF document from Okular it prints N*N copies
of it.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open PDF document in Okular;
2. Open printing GUI;
3. Set number of copies to print at more than 1;
OBSERVED RESULT
Printer outputs more pages than you expect. For example, if the document is 4
sheets and I set it to print 3 copies of it, printer output total of 36 sheets,
each sheet is copied 9 times. If it is set to "collate", it prints in order
like this: AAABBBCCCDDD then repeats that 2 more times
(AAABBBCCCDDDAAABBBCCCDDDAAABBBCCCDDD in total of 36 sheets). 1 sheet document
in 2 copies outputs 4 sheets and 1 sheet document in 5 copies prints 25.
EXPECTED RESULT
Printer does not waste paper and toner on unnecessary unexpected copies.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Linux 4.20.8-arch1-1-ARCH;
KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.55.0
Qt Version: 5.12.1
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
To get expected behavior until the issue is resolved I start printing job from
Okular N times as 1 copy.
Tried two different PC's with different installations of Archlinux, both are
fully updated. Using cups, tried with two different printers: Kyocera TASKalfa
1801 and Brother MFC-L2700DWR with manufacturer's drivers; all printing "last
minute" settings are default except for number of copies in Okular's GUI. No
other program copies this behavior.
Cups logs at default level do not output anything exceptional.
I HAVE checked all "Possible duplicates" bugs suggested by the site engine and
haven't found a solution.
