Well this is embarrasing; I've just booted into 13.04 and 'lp -d PDF i-9g.pdf' is now working...
$ apt-cache policy qpdf qpdf: Installed: 4.2.0-2 Candidate: 4.2.0-2 Version table: *** 4.2.0-2 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status g@VMware:~/tempdir$ apt-cache policy cups-filters cups-filters: Installed: 1.0.40-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 1.0.40-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 1.0.40-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Based on the above and Comment #8 from Tobias I'll mark this 'Invalid'. Sorry for the noise. Q. For the 12.04 'lp' issue, do I file a bug against poppler, cups, what? Thanks. ** Changed in: qpdf (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1263784 Title: PDF form data is blank when printed with lp To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qpdf/+bug/1263784/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
