It looks from the patch that it requires cairo 1.8.2, so it would require a non-trivial backport for both hardy and intrepid.

[Bug 150187] Re: [gutsy] [regression] Evince has very bad quality when printing pdf files.
@Benjamin Redelings: I can reproduce it on gutsy. I have noticed that your PDF includes T1 and T3 fonts. After printing into a new PDF (or preview) the file becomes unusable - all fonts are gone (and the filesize gets 1,2 MiB). Swistak gave me an idea: I create a perfect PDF with pdflatex with embedded T1 fonts. The file is shown in evince in good quality. When I print into a new PDF - the fonts are changed to T1C Cairo-fonts. The original ones are lost. The quality is still okay, but here we definitly see that there are some font handling problems.

[Bug 150187] Re: [gutsy] [regression] Evince has very bad quality when printing pdf files.
I must admit that I can't reproduce the bug, but I remember a similar problem I had years ago. It seems that the printing/display problems have something to do with documents, which were created with some sort of TeX. You must know that font-handling (embedding) is often a cause for problems. There are T1 (Type 1 = good, don't confuse it with T1 font encoding in your LaTeX source ;-) and T3 fonts. T3 are only the ugly bitmap fonts - I have seen (Alt + Enter in evince; than fonts dialog) that some of the PDFs aren't properly created. So please check your TeX/LaTeX/LyX-setup (I have installed texlive- fonts-recommended, -extra, -font-utils, and from universe the packages cm-super and lmodern) and your font settings in your sources / LyX- setup. Now the question is why do acroread, evince, kpdf show different output? Perhaps it is how they handle problems with fonts. I don't know, but it could be a possibility. -- [gutsy] [regression] Evince has very bad quality when printing pdf files. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150187 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to poppler in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Mark: Can you reproduce the problem with the attached PDF? For me, this 5-page PDF (i) generates a blurry Print Preview (ii) takes 90 seconds to do so! Since the Print Preview does not match the displayed version of the PDF, this definitely a bug in evince, not a natural result of using T3 fonts. (Also, I used to have problems with bitmapped fonts, but I think that was actually a problem in dvips, and the problem was lack of anti- aliasing for on-screen presentations, not for printing; T3 fonts actually printed just fine.) ** Attachment added: PDF example file to demonstrate the problem. http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13382456/speciation_state_correlation.pdf -- [gutsy] [regression] Evince has very bad quality when printing pdf files. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150187 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to poppler in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I didn't have much luck trying the fix for poppler on the freedesktop.org bug. First of all it's statically linked to evince so you have to recompile evince. You can't just test it by compiling poppler. Secondly, evince doesn't even compile with any other poppler (0.7.3, 0.8.0) than the distro version. -- [gutsy] [regression] Evince has very bad quality when printing pdf files. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150187 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to poppler in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

We could recommend acroread instead, since it actually works. Also, perhaps xpdf works in some cases when evince fails?

[Bug 150187] Re: [gutsy] [regression] Evince has very bad quality when printing pdf files.
I don't think getting around the issue is the solution. Evince is the official pdf viewing application for Gnome and should be able to work out of the box. Also, acroread does not work straightforwardly for amd64. Plus it is a software one has to add manually, just like xpdf. So fact is Ubuntu would greatly benefit from this issue being fixed before Hardy release, as I see now in the headers of the bug that it was declined for Gutsy and transposed to Hardy. -- [gutsy] [regression] Evince has very bad quality when printing pdf files. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150187 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to poppler in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 150187] Re: [gutsy] [regression] Evince has very bad quality when printing pdf files.
gorgor: I completely agree. Why is this considered only medium? Perhaps because evince primarily fails to print SCIENTIFIC pdfs? (I am asking if this is the case) For example, I think it has a lot of problems with PDFs created by TeX / LyX. But perhaps it works tolerably well with PDFs commonly found on the web? If so, perhaps the bugmasters consider this bug medium because they aren't scientists, and it works for them?

Notice for me the grey text is totally invisible in the photo, lighter than the text on the page underneath the one I'm photographing!! some words (italics) are unreadable because they are so blurry. Looking close to the output it looks like the text is dithered, no hard edges, no stark black, no edge. The printer is set to 600dpi, so I should be seeing crisp glyphs, not blurry half-tone.

One hint about the Ricoh problem which you described in your original bug report. Due to space reasons we could not put all manufacturer- supplied PostScript printer PPDs onto the desktop CDs. To get the full set including all Ricoh PPDs, install the openprinting-ppds-extra package.
