actually i'm not interested in background images. the issue is not page content, rather how the page is converted to pdf. i'll see if i have any of the pages still and upload them for you to see.
i'm not sure how cups-pdf converts webpages to pdf, but i suspect it may be the culprit. pdf creator (available for windoze only) has no problem printing webpages to pdf. > Date: Tue, 17 May 2011 09:18:02 +0000 > From: 780...@bugs.launchpad.net > To: ad...@hotmail.com > Subject: [Bug 780638] Re: cups-pdf and file print: pdf/ps feature outdated > > Actually, neither CUPS nor CUPS-PDF control the page content.
