[Bug 107025] Re: Multipage printing issue using even and odd.
Reposting here my post to the gnome bug but as a patch against evince 2.26.1-0ubuntu1 I have a really simple fix for this. In export_print_page in ev-print-operation.c: REPLACE: while ((export-page_set == GTK_PAGE_SET_EVEN export-page % 2 == 0) || (export-page_set == GTK_PAGE_SET_ODD export-page % 2 == 1)); WITH: while((export-page_set == GTK_PAGE_SET_EVEN (export-page / export-pages_per_sheet) % 2 == 0) || (export-page_set == GTK_PAGE_SET_ODD (export-page / export-pages_per_sheet) % 2 == 1)); This way we check for even/odd sheets rather than pages in doing the pagination and nothing else has to be changed in the code. ISSUES: Is the integer division guaranteed portable? Is pages_per_sheet guaranteed to be non-zero? Will this interfere with duplex printing if the hardware supports native duplex? ** Attachment added: patch against evince 2.26.1-0ubuntu1 to use sheets not pages http://launchpadlibrarian.net/26930803/sheetsnotpages.patch -- Multipage printing issue using even and odd. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107025 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

The above-mentioned command line gives also the correct result on Intrepid now (cups_1.3.8-13). The problem of evince is that it only sends the even pages to CUPS and lets CUPS then do the N-up. It should send all pages and supply the page-set=even option to the job, so that CUPS removes the odd pages AFTER applying N-up. Or evince should do both the page selection and N-up by itself. -- Multipage printing issue using even and odd. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107025 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 107025] Re: Multipage printing issue using even and odd.
Just stumbled across this problem (and report / discussion thread) myself... Nothing to add on the problem description, previous posters have done an excellent job of explaining their usage pattern and Evince's behavior. Looking forward to a fix... In the meantime, here's a workaround for those interested (and apologies if this is not the right forum to post this info... but it related directly to the problem...): - get 'page-crunch' (use Synaptic or apt-get install page-crunch). This is a GUI frontend for a suite of PostScript document formatting utilities. The tool apparently handles PDF too. - Export the source document (e.g. OpenOffice) to PDF as you otherwise would to print it with Evince - start page-crunch (alt-F2, 'page-crunch'). Open the PDF file from the previous step. Select a name for the reformatted output file (also PDF). Select pages per sheet = 2, and other parameters as desired (esp. paper size is A4 by default). Click See. It may complain about not finding xpdf... just click 'Ok' to ignore the error. Open the reformatted version of your PDF in Evince. Now each page of the new document contains 2 pages of the original document. So you leave Pages per Sheet = 1 under Page Setup. If you now print odd pages (i.e. Odd Sheets), flip and reload the stack of paper, and print even pages, you get the 2-up, 2-sided printout as desired. I haven't tried, but presumably this will work for any number of pages per sheet. -- Multipage printing issue using even and odd. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107025 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 107025] Re: Multipage printing issue using even and odd.
I'm facing the same issue. The expectation is that selecting pages per sheet: 2 and odd pages will print pages 1+2, 5+6 on two sheets. If I then select even pages it should print pages 3+4 and 7+8. So the expected order is that the printer driver (or whatever is processing the data, cups, gnome, evince...) should first group two pages into every sheet, then print either even or odd sheets. Instead, the order of operations is reversed: the driver first filters only the odd pages, and then puts two of them onto each sheet to print, which is unlike what probably every operating system out there does. (Reversing the order of these two operations is probably all it takes to fix this, but I don't know the source code details...) I think this bug should have a higher priority, too, as it probably affects many users with average home machines + printers. If you try to save ink, or simply for convenience, you print 2up, and if your printer doesn't do duplex, but you want paper printed on both sides, then you first print odd pages, re-insert the paper into the printer feed, and then print even pages. Result: four pages per sheet, in the expected order (1+2, 3+4). -- Multipage printing issue using even and odd. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107025 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I see this bug is still marked as need info. Peter Russel seems to describe the issue clearly, and I also just ran into the same issue trying to print a long document using pages per sheet = 2.

This is a very serious issue, at least it sure is for me since I rely on this feature a lot to save paper. -- Multipage printing issue using even and odd. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107025 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 107025] Re: Multipage printing issue using even and odd.
I think I understand the nature of this bug, having just encountered it myself. The process I went through is as follows: 1. I have a large PDF file that I want to print. The text is large, and I want to save paper. 2. I decided that I wanted to scale the pages so that two (document) pages are on each side of paper. 3. Furthermore I want to print on both sides of each sheet of paper. 4. My printer doesn't support duplexing (which I assume is what the two-sided option is for). The natural thing to do is to select: + Pages per sheet: 2 + Only print: Odd sheets Then print, and reload the paper into the printer, then select: + Pages per sheet: 2 + Only print: Even sheets I expect this to give an result where the first sheet has (document) pages 12 on it, and it's reverse has 34, and so on. This seems sensible given the distinction in terminology in the dialog box between pages and sheets. The actual result is that the first sheet has pages 13 on it, and on it's reverse are pages 24. I can't see how this is useful for anyone. It doesn't even fold into a booklet or the like. I think it should also be noted that the diagram showing the page format is not very helpful when you're trying to do this sort of thing. It could be made much better. -- Multipage printing issue using even and odd. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107025 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 107025] Re: Multipage printing issue using even and odd.
when you want to print a document saving paper, you would print more pages on a single sheet. This works good, but: If you want to save more paper, you would print on both sides of the sheet. It's impossible to do that because the print setup allow only even and odd pages and not even and odd sheets. For a single page sheet, there are no differences. Got it?

The Page Setup dialog has a Two-sided option, isn't that doing what you want? -- Multipage printing issue using even and odd. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107025 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Two sided options doesn't work well. Because print only even or odd pages not sheets. Try to print a document using more pages for sheet and two sided. -- Multipage printing issue using even and odd. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107025 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
