[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1817033] Re: Unable to correctly print PDF file: Error: Ignoring spurious ET operator.
When pdftocairo ist used with libcairo2-1.15.12-1 -- which (AFAIK)
contains the bug I linked above -- to output a pdf file (as pdftopdf
1.21 will do!), it would be no surprise have a corrupt pdf after
pdftocairo, which gs then rightly will complain about; esp. the ET
-thing is the one things such a buggy libcairo2 will produce.
The only thing form-flattening has to do with it, is that pdftopdf 1.21
would only call pdftocairo when a form is present in the pdf.

On the Epson printer _WorkForce WF-2660_, no error page is printed,

Trying to use different pdftops renderers did not make any difference.

gave the same result, the same with `pdftocairo`, `acroread`, `mupdf`.
Following `/usr/share/doc/cups-filters/README.gz` and
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems, I verified that the
exact same PDF is put into the CUPS spool directory, and I captured
the data sent to the printer with the commands below.
$ lpadmin -p chipprinterpclfile -E -v file:/tmp/printout -P

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1817033] Re: Unable to correctly print PDF file: Error: Ignoring spurious ET operator.
My observations:
As changing pdftops-renderer does not seem to make a difference, probably only
one of the programs is installed and thus used in all cases?
According to Dependencies.txt, libcairo2-1.15.12-1 seems to installed, which
AFAIK is affected by the problem described e.g. here:
https://github.com/Kozea/WeasyPrint/issues/705
I have no explanation though, how the pdf (which, by itself, does not seem to
contain the error, AFAIAC) would run through the cairo pdf backend ...
It does not really seem form-related, but there are some options to change the
form-flattening engines (Till?)
- or could it possibly be that the 1.21 cups-filter uses some pdf-to-pdf form
flattening which uses the cairo backend ?

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1564249] Re: Cannot print a PDF with AcroForms using fit-to-page
See https://bugs.linuxfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1315 why this cannot work.
And QPDF won't be able to do anything about it, either...
There might even be PDF-capable printers on the market (i.e. where the
rasterization is not done by gs / poppler on the host), where the form content
will not be printed even without the fit-to-page option.
The PDF format generally does not allow arbitrary transformations (as used by
pdftopdf in certain cases) to be applied to the ("interactive") Form content -
which is stored separately from the Page content.
The usual solution for printing is that the viewer application (Evince, Google
Chrome, ...) converts (hard-codes) any Form content into regular Page content
before sending the data to the printing chain. Using lpr skips this
(non-trivial) step.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1464783] Re: Number up option is processed before the page extraction option
According to Mike Sweet [1]: Dec 28, 2007 by Michael Sweet: The 1.1.x (and 1.0.x) behavior was incorrect. According to the IPP specification, number-up is applied *first*, and page-ranges refers to the imposed pages. Similarly, page-set is applied after imposition. and here [2]: Nov 16, 2008 by Michael Sweet: IPP specifies the page-ranges applies after imposition, so the current implementation is correct. I'll add a note to the documentation about the behavior. My man page of lp(1) says: -P page-list Specifies which pages to print in the document. The list can contain a list of numbers and ranges (#-#) separated by commas (e.g. 1,3-5,16). The page numbers refer to the output pages and not the document's original pages - options like number-up can affect the numbering of the pages. And -P is just a shortcut for page-ranges=. For that reason pstops handles page-ranges the way it does. And pdftopdf deliberately follows pstops' logic. However I don't know which IPP specification Mike references here. From my understanding of RFC2911 (IPP 1.1), Section 15.3 [3], page-ranges is applied in step 2, and number-up is applied only in the next step 3. Maybe Mike can shed some light on this issue?

No full analysis yet, but a first point: The line was deleted in the commit, not added. Therefore it is correct, that it is also missing later. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to cups-filters in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1221520 Title: Blank pages inserted in duplex print job Status in “cups-filters” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I have a Brother HL2270DW printer. I've been using it in Ubuntu since I got it a few years ago. It's always worked fine. Lately, however, it has been inserting a blank page between pages in duplex jobs. For example, if I print two copies of a one-page document with duplex on, it used to print on both sides of one sheet of paper; but now it prints on one side, takes the paper back in as if to print on the back side, spits it out with the back side blank, and then does the same routine on a second sheet of paper. I think it started happening when I upgraded from Quantal to Raring. I haven't been printing a lot lately, so I haven't noticed it until now. I found Bug #292, which seems like the same bug, however 1) I have no scale to fit option checked or even available in any of the print dialogs I've been using, both in CUPS itself, in LibreOffice, and in Okular; and 2) I am having this problem with Raring, even though that bug indicates it should be fixed in Raring. On a hunch, I downgraded the cups-filters package (not the cups package) to the version from Quantal, then restarted CUPS, and the problem went away. I also had to install libqpdf8 from Quantal to fulfill the dependencies of that version of cups-filters. cups-filters: Installed: 1.0.24-2 Candidate: 1.0.34-0ubuntu1.1 Version table: 1.0.34-0ubuntu1.1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring-updates/main i386 Packages 1.0.34-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring/main i386 Packages *** 1.0.24-2 0 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status libqpdf8: Installed: 3.0.2-1 Candidate: 3.0.2-1 Version table: *** 3.0.2-1 0 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status According to Bug #292, the problem should have been fixed in cups- filters 1.0.30. I'm guessing that either a) somehow the fix didn't make it into 1.0.30 after all; or b) Ubuntu's package somehow missed the fix, despite the newer upstream version; or c) it's regressed since 1.0.30; or d) this is a similar but unrelated bug.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 923955] Re: pdftopdf filter fails to output form field values
Sorry, I forgot to subscribe and did not get your comment by mail... I think a recent evince will directly send pdf (and not ps) to cups. But it will 'rewrite' quite heavily. And yes, PDF is the new internal default format in the linux printing chain. This has more to do with having the appropriate cups-filters than the cups version, though. AFAICT it probably was the pdf-ps pipeline. But, regarding this bug, I have tracked down the problem in libqpdf to the use of stale object-cache entries, and reported it to the author; the next libqpdf update will fix this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to cups in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/923955 Title: pdftopdf filter fails to output form field values Status in “cups” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Running the provided form through the pdftopdf filter results in an empty PDF form: all field values disappear.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 923955] Re: pdftopdf filter fails to output form field values
Form values are also lost with the old pdftopdf implementation (used in cups-filters before 1.0.21). Probably only the pdf-ps workflow ever worked. The form values are also lost by just using qpdf to 'non-destructively' rewrite the pdf. Therefore the problem is already present in the underlying libqpdf. The provided pdf files all use xref-streams, which I'm currently not able to accurately debug. I have some faint memories that to enable form-filling with Adobe Reader the original pdf has to be specially 'signed', and this signature can only be generated by the Adobe Acrobat Professional application... this might play a role here. Another thing: When I use evince to print the form, it seems to work. Could it be that the problem only occurs when using Adobe Reader to fill and/or print the form? Or at least that it works, when evince is used to fill/print? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to cups in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/923955 Title: pdftopdf filter fails to output form field values Status in “cups” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Running the provided form through the pdftopdf filter results in an empty PDF form: all field values disappear.
