Sending the PostScript file directly to a native PostScript printer, for example using the command
nc -w1 <IP address of printer> 9100 < Grammar\ 4.ps leads to a printout in a reasonable time (2-3 pages quickly one after each other, then 5 seconds pause, 2-3 pages again and so forth). This means that the PostScript IS awkward, but GhostScript is really TOO slow, meaning that there is room for improvement/fixing in Ghostscript. Independent of this, the djvu software used by evince needs improvement, too, once it should generate better, easier to process PostScript, and second it should be able to directly convert djvu into PDF, as PDF is THE standard format for printable documents under all operating systems (please consider reporting an upstream bug here, too. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/525161 Title: sometimes it's never print out any page and hangs on Status in evince package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: evince sometimes it's never print out any page and hangs on ProblemType: Bug Architecture: amd64 Date: Sun Feb 21 13:33:00 2010 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/evince InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" - Release amd64 (20091027) NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx Package: evince 2.28.1-0ubuntu1.2 ProcEnviron: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-20.57-generic SourcePackage: evince Uname: Linux 2.6.31-20-generic x86_64 XsessionErrors: (gnome-settings-daemon:4586): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_propagate_error: assertion `src != NULL' failed (nautilus:4621): Eel-CRITICAL **: eel_preferences_get_boolean: assertion `preferences_is_initialized ()' failed (polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:4652): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion `initialization_value != 0' failed (gnome-panel:4617): Gdk-WARNING **: /build/buildd/gtk+2.0-2.18.3/gdk/x11/gdkdrawable-x11.c:952 drawable is not a pixmap or window (firefox:5009): GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple times To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/525161/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
