I can't reproduce any problem I was having. FWIW, I seem to be running Okular 0.7.1-1 (in sid, hasn't hit lenny yet.)

Hi again, Confirming that the cause was the Qt 4.4.0 bug. the behaviour is fixed in 4.4.1. (Though now my printer seems to complain about syntax errors in what Okular sends it. I may get to searching for/submitting that bug at some stage.)

Is it something like "Write PDF file" or "Write > PostScript file"? No, nothing like that. The printers listed are the usual list I would expect (lp for the printer in my office, and one for a printer in a nearby office). The "Location" and "Type" fields correspond to those printers, there's no other fields, and no indication anywhere that they are set to some write-to-file mode. Interestingly, though, it only lists the printers configured in CUPS, and doesn't have the extra options that KPDF has (like "Print to File (PDF)", "Send to Fax", etc). KPDF has no trouble printing, FWIW. Ah, new info: The file is only overwritten when it lives in the home directory. When the file is anywhere else (including subdirectories) it is not overwritten, however a file of the same name is created in ~. I've just had a poke around at upstream bugtracker. I suspect it might be related to this: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=162793 , which I notice you've already noticed. :-) Qt 4.4.1 is still in experimental, though. I could give it a try.

If you open the print dialog and select your printer, which "Description:" do you get for it? Is it something like "Write PDF file" or "Write PostScript file"?

Bug#497482: okular: Printing a PDF causes the file to be overwritten with a PS conversion, nothing printed
Package: okular Version: 0.7-2 Severity: normal FWIW, I'm running Okular on a primarily KDE 3 host, so this might be some kind of incompatibility thing. I'm not sure. Trying to print a PDF document fails. There is no error message, but after clicking "Print", Okular spends a bit of time doing some processing, after which no job is sent to the print queue. Okular then attempts to reload the document and fails without an error message - just the default big blank grey "no document loaded yet" panel. What has happened is that something during this process has overwritten the ..pdf file with a postscript conversion. When Okular attempts to reload the file, I guess it runs into #496669, tries the wrong backend, and fails. Overwriting files like this is quite rude of Okular, IMO.
