Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evince
Converting this simple PostScript program to PDF causes CUPS to hang up
when an attempt is made to print the PDF fron Evince.
%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%%BeginProlog
/H {/Helvetica findfont exch scalefont setfont} def
% --- usage: (string) pointsize rotation x y RA
/RA{gsave translate rotate H 0 0 moveto show grestore newpath} def
% ------------------
%%EndProlog
(String) 10 40 150 750 RA
showpage
%%EOF
Procedure:
- View PostScript file with Evince: no problems found
- Call Printout facility, then printout: CUPS prints out the PostScript
file without error.
- convert the PS file to PDF: ps2pdf -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress
<filename.ps> ; no errors reported
- View <filename.pdf> with Evince ; The word String is visible, tilted at
40 degrees
- Call Print facility then Print Preview; -- nothing found on the monitor
- Call Print facility, then printout; CUPS hangs up
NotaBene: Setting the rotation to 0 degrees in place of 40 DOES allow the PDF
document
to be printed out. But then the text is horizontal and not tilted at 40 degrees.
System info: Linux Ubuntu 7.10 "Gutsy", Evince 2.20.0,
hp 2100M Laser Jet Printer with dual personality
(PostScript/ hpgl)
Can anybody tell me what is wrong and if there is a bug fix?
Thanks in advance,
Mike Perry
