In cups-filters one could introduce a filter named oldcairopdftopdf to be run before pdftopdf if the incoming PDF is from a too old Cairo version. One could introduce a new MIME type to make CUPS detect such PDF. The new filter would simply run this PDF to some command line progrem which regenerates it, for example Ghostscript with the "pdfwrite" output device.
Such thing would be really an awkward workaround, a fix in Firefox, Thunderbird, and/or Gecko would be the correct solution for this problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/802942 Title: printing PDFs (and other complex documents) from GTK applications fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/802942/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
