Thank you for your reply! I think Evince cannot know which settings are "bad" - this should be the job of maybe CUPS or the printer driver. So I'm not sure how Evince can help here... Of course Evince can implement a workaround for this:
1. remember the printing settings per printer; 2. Add a button to the printing dialog which resets the settings to the default values. Thanks again, and all the best in 2017 ;) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to gtk+3.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1652791 Title: Evince PDF doesn't print, yet Writer prints just fine Status in gtk+3.0 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I have the Canon PIXMA IP7250 printer installed. When I plug it via the USB cable, the printer driver seems autodetected incorrectly: Canon iP7200 series - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.11 , however printing of the test page succeeds and the test page is printed successfully. Writer is also able to print the documents correctly. However printing PDFs via Evince does absolutely nothing - the printing job seems to get executed correctly, however the printer power led just blinks two times and that's it - no error message is produced, no segfault, no feedback, nothing. The really interesting thing is that on another laptop with Ubuntu 16.10 the printer works correctly and prints the PDF without any problem. I am totally at loss what to google for or where to search for possible solutions as there is no error message :( Thanks for any tip.
