[okular] [Bug 286825] Okular should generate PDFs when printing instead of GhostScript
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=286825 Oliver Sander changed: What|Removed |Added Resolution|--- |FIXED Status|REPORTED|RESOLVED --- Comment #20 from Oliver Sander --- The patch https://invent.kde.org/graphics/okular/-/merge_requests/1046 got merged recently. With this, Okular really does now send the pdf file directly to the printer in a lot of important cases. With this, let's consider the bug fixed.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=286825 --- Comment #15 from Christoph Feck --- Could somebody clarify if the recently merged "raster" printing patches would avoid using ghostscript? Distributions are discussing to phase out ghostscript because of security issues, see e.g. https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1122797 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=286825 --- Comment #13 from Jan-Marek Glogowski --- I just did a quick test and generally it works and sends the PDF to CUPS. So thanks again for this quick patch. I currently don't have time to turn this patch into a really useable version and I don't know if anybody will add enought priority to it and work on it (I'm leaving for a holiday at least until July). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. ___ Okular-devel mailing list Okular-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/okular-devel

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=286825 --- Comment #10 from Jan-Marek Glogowski --- The initial patch would be great. We'll get this tested before production anyway and I can report back or probably even send patches, which fix stuff. It's not that we're not coding stuff ourself, but I thought it would be more work to get this coded, and we already buy Linux support, which patches upstream code, if we don't code the stuff ourself. Additionally I would add some option to okular to select the default printing format (PDF or PS - like LibreOffice) to really get this feature included upstream (defaulting to PS). We normally require upstream / master fixes before including a backport in our release, so we don't have to re-patch everything within our next major release cycle. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. ___ Okular-devel mailing list Okular-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/okular-devel

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=286825 Albert Astals Cid changed: What|Removed |Added CC||aa...@kde.org --- Comment #9 from Albert Astals Cid --- Changing the pdf printer to just pipe the pdf file is quite trivial, you should not really need to hire anyone for it since it's a 5 minutes patch in PDFGenerator::print The problem is testing that everything still works, since sure, you're use case may get better, but there's lost of other people printing out there and it may break for them. I can give you the five lines patch and then you donate to http://kde.org/donate instead of hiring someone to code it, but i do not think i have enough stamina to test all the printing test cases, is that something you could help with?

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=286825 Jan-Marek Glogowski changed: What|Removed |Added CC||glo...@fbihome.de --- Comment #8 from Jan-Marek Glogowski --- This is a real problem for us. We (City of Munich) generate large mail merge documents (PDF with 4k - 8k pages, some even 16k), which we want to print from KDE. Generation using LibreOffice + WollMux takes ~2 hours, but even with the latest GhostScript 9.15, which is 50% faster then the GhostScript version shipped in Ubuntu Precise, it takes more then a day for poppler (0.24.x) just to generate the PostScript to be send to the CUPS server. And additionally we still have the conversation to PCL for the printer on the CUPS server side. Using a printer, which supports direct PDF printing, would get the time down to just the file transfer time, if Okular would actually send the PDF. And for some of our test documents the generated PS is much larger (8-10 times, talking about GB here) then the original PDF, which is written to tmp and "copied" to /var/spool for local CUPS or send to a central print server. If you still think this is not a bug, it would be nice to get some code pointers in current KDE4 okular codebase, so we can probably hire someone to get this fixed and included Upstream. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. ___ Okular-devel mailing list Okular-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/okular-devel
