The problem is Poppler's pdftops filter. It turns the PDF file which was generated by inkscape and sent to CUPS to a graphics-only PostScript file. Seems to be an upstream bug of Poppler. Usually Poppler conserves the text when converting PDF to PostScript (at least it did so with PDFs coming from other applications and PDFs which CUPS generated from PostScript files with Ghostscript).
The best and easiest solution for your situation would be the fix of bug 385709 so that PDF files do not get converted to PostScript and back to PDF when cups-pdf is used. For now you should always use the PDF generation facility inside the applications and use the PDF printer only for applications which do not have PDF export functionality by themselves. -- pdftops CUPS filter has several problems https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/382379 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to poppler in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
