Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evince
Printer: Brother HL-1850
Driver: Foomatic/Postscript (Recommended)
Problem: Printing a pdf from evince results in data being sent to the printer
(as evidenced by status light on printer), but the file is never printed. There
is an eventual timeout where the job disappears from the queue and the printer
data light stops. This occurs with numerous settings (duplex on/off etc) and
running evince as root makes no difference.
However, with the same driver and settings, no such problem occurs printing a
document from OOo Writer or Impress presentation.
Selecting a different driver from the list such as hpijs or HL1250
allows printing with evince, but not exactly as desired (duplex and
resolution problems). The BRScript-3 (for HL1850N) driver displays the
same problem as the Postscript driver.
Postscript is the recommended driver and has worked perfectly under
previous releases.
I'm unable to tell whether the problem is with evince or the driver, but
since it works from other programs I'm assuming evince.
Only one error in the logs, but this occurs even when a job does print
so seems not relevant to the problem.
