Pages are passed through "gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite ..." which sets the page size to the default page size. Yet, I don't know whether this is a bug in ghostscript or the intended behavior of ghostscript and a bug in cups. Since the upgrade to Jauny beta, I experienced that evince would shift a document up when printing. It is reproducible. I print in A4 on a Canon IR3170Ci. The printed output is translated up. The upper part of the contents in not visible. I also tried another printer driver (hpijs instead of post- script) and did not observe any improvement. Changing /etc/papersize from letter to a4 allows me to print in a4. Printing from evince also working fine in intrepid. To reproduce the bug: + lpr -omedia=A3 testpage.ps + There should not be a problem if the postscript file itself requests a page size. - lpr -omedia=A3 testpage.ps - - There should not be a problem if the postscript file itself requests a - page size. - - ProblemType: Bug - Architecture: amd64 - DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.04 - NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia - Package: evince 2.26.0-0ubuntu1 - ProcEnviron: - SHELL=/bin/bash - LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8 - PATH=(custom, user) - LANG=de_AT.UTF-8 - SourcePackage: evince - Uname: Linux 2.6.28-11-generic x86_64 + FIX: + # (For simplicity, just paste this section to a terminal.) + # Download the attached pstopdf and install it in /usr/lib/cups/filter/ + cd /tmp + wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/25537150/pstopdf + sudo cp pstopdf /usr/lib/cups/filter/ + # Then change the permissions of the installed file: + sudo chmod ugo+rx /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstopdf + # that's all.
