After discovering that I had the same problem with another printer, I
tried with kpdf, and printing is perfect. Evince has very bad quality
when printing pdfs.
** Also affects: evince (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Changed in: cupsys (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Invalid
** Summary changed:
- [gutsy] [regression] Configuring network printers has become impossible even
for experienced users
+ [gutsy] [regression] Evince has very bad quality when printing pdf files.
** Description changed:
- I am using gutsy. When I installed tribe 5, I could configure a network
- printer (a ricoh aficio 2051 pcl) and gutsy would automatically chose a
- driver for me, I just had to chose protocol and hostname. This seemed to
- be a huge improvement with respects to feisty, however the default
- driver choice was plain wrong. I couldn't print double sided and quality
- was bad.
-
- I don't remember which driver I chose at the time, but with a little
- trial and error I succeded in printing. Now, with current gutsy, I chose
- the network printer, and no driver or printer is automatically chosen. I
- am left with a list of printers. In feisty, it was the same, however,
- under "ricoh" I could find each printer ricoh ever made, including mine,
- and it was easy to set up the printer manually.
-
- In gutsy, my printer is not listed, I have aficio 220, aficio 700 and
- another couple of printers. I am an experienced user, however I have to
- randomly chose one, and the choice does not work, I've tried many setups
- but print quality is awful, even if I set higher quality in the driver
- options.
-
- Please notice: In feisty, I have the "hpijs" driver, and printing is
- perfect, so it's not a connection/printer problem. In gutsy, also the
- hpijs driver does not work.
-
- In the current state of things, I am completely unable to set-up a
- network printer from gutsy. We have to solve this before release.
+ Evince prints every pdf I send, with very bad quality, and printing is
+ very slow. Kpdf does not suffer of this problem, printing is high
+ quality and fast. Looks like evince is rendering pdf to a very low
+ quality image. I also tried printing some text from gedit, and it is of
+ perfect quality too.
