If you look inside cairo_set_page_size, it sets
/PageSize exch def
/ImagingBBox null def
You could try changing the names one at a time to something that won't exist,
like PageSizexxx to see if one or the other has a value that the printer
doesn't like. Maybe the null ImagingBBox messes up the printer. A lot of ppd
files have sequences like "<</PageSize[612 792]/ImagingBBox
null>>setpagedevice", so a null ImagingBBox should be OK.
setpagedevice can give an error if the printer does not support the PageSize.

Can you try it with the current pdftocairo 0.47.0? The source is at

I did try with pdftocairo 0.47 + cairo 1.15.2, but the resulting file is
identical.
Do any of the non-printing ps files get errors if you view them with
ghostscript?
No, ghostscript shows no errors...
Test-jma-Envelop-Blank-pdftocairo0.41-cairo1.14.6-manually-fixedC.ps got a
/dictstackunderflow in --end-- error for me, but that is because it has an
extra 'end' in the trailer.
Yeah, manually-fixedC is probably broken, that was a lame attempt at finding
the issue.
If you think that the problem is the setpagedevice call, you could comment the
line '266 621 cairo_set_page_size' in the ps and try to print it.
setpagedevice is usually OK unless you are trying to make an EPS.
When I was using an older version of poppler + libcairo, that section was not
there at all, but not having it causes other issues (namely, the printer
doesn't know the page size and sends it to a random paper tray). I'm actually
upgrading BECAUSE I want that section!

Subject: [poppler] pdftocairo Offending Command error when printing
Hi,
I am trying to debug a weird issue I have with a printer (Kyocera
p2135dn). When I convert the attached PDF to postscript using pdftops,
the printer accepts and prints the file properly, but when I use
pdftocairo, the printer rejects the file with the following error:
Error name: /configurationerror
Offending Command: --setpagedevice--
Operand Stack:
-dict-
Even when removing _everything_ on the pdf, as the examples I have a
attached, I still get the "Offending Command" error. I have tried
examining the content of the files, but I have a hard time pinpointing
what could be wrong in the pdftocairo-generated file.
I am attaching 3 additional files (A,B,C) that show attempts I made to
modify the file (thought maybe the page size/bounding box was the issue)
but all three have failed printing with the same error...
Anyone have ideas of what I should investigate?
Thanks,
Pierre-Luc
