Could somebody clarify if the recently merged "raster" printing patches would avoid using ghostscript?

Yes, printing with 'rasterization' does not require ghostscript. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/891199 Title: Okular sends print jobs in PostScript format To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/kdegraphics/+bug/891199/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

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 received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/891199 Title: Okular sends print jobs in PostScript format To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/kdegraphics/+bug/891199/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

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 received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/891199 Title: Okular sends print jobs in PostScript format To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/kdegraphics/+bug/891199/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

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?

Writing this comment took you more time than following the link I provided. I report bugs to help make KDE better, not to be insulted by arrogant devs. For the record, pasting takes the same amount of time regardless of the size of text pasted, which makes your assumptions about my manners invalid.

It did to me, but do you think I am the only person reading KDE bugs? There is lots of people trying to read, triage and fix KDE bugs, the fact that you make each and every of them go to ubuntu bug tracker to read something that could be easily be put into this bug report is making lots of people lose lots of time. That is bad for all of us, included you, since it lowers the possibility of your bug ever getting fixed. > I report bugs to help make KDE better, not to be insulted by arrogant devs. > For > the record, pasting takes the same amount of time regardless of the size of > text pasted, which makes your assumptions about my manners invalid.
