Bug 431406 – net-print/cups-filters-1.0.20: blurry PDF printing from evince

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Michał Górny 2012-08-14 16:39:38 UTC]

After upgrading cups-filters, the PDFs printed from evince are all blurry (resulting in blurry 2D barcode on the ticket). Downgrading cups-filters helps.

The setup:
- lprng printing server with printer filter set up,
- cups client using generic PostScript driver.

I will try to give more details and attach an example PDF soon. I first have to ask for a blank one which I could share publicly.

Eh, next time opening bug early I should explicitly note 'please do not remove the working version'.

Ah, and since the driver doesn't speak 'Kyocera' anywhere, it's the configure.ac/default renderer thing.

And --with-pdftops=pdftops fixes that.

Created attachment 322042 [details, diff]
Patch setting poppler renderer as default

And here's a patch doing that.

[@]}"  is way too high for me. Simpler version applied, thanks!
