When using kpdf and i try to "print preview..." I get the error "Unable to start compress/extract program". The problem was that i didn't have kghostview installed. So, i think, kpdf should depend on kghostview, or, kpdf should give a better error message, like telling me what a user must install to see the preview. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open a pdf in kpdf 2.File -> Print Preview... Actual Results: Error message. Expected Results: Show the preview
Same here, and with Kghostwiev I can see and print perfectly the same files. This comes cause we are building kpdf with poppler. Why in the hell? And why can't we have an use flag to disable this mistaken behaviour, at least????
Ah, it isn't a bug for just one pdf, I'm digging my files from half an hour and didn't found 1 working with kpdf preview.... in kpdf-3.5.1 my print preview is just empty, and when trying to print it prints nothing (I had to spend some hours to understand, thinking my printer was broken)
Same here... Viewing PDF's is fine, but print preview and printing won't work. I have poppler 0.5.1. By the way, this also happens with newest kpdf 3.5.2. What's going on ?

Does the Kpdf preview not work at all or only when KGhostview is installed?

The problem lies somewhere between kdeprinter, ghostscript and cups. Having a look at upstream bug reports the problem doesn't seem to be new, see http://tinyurl.com/fhlr4 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76599 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88969

Sérgio: Thanks fot the bug report, lead me to add a couple of dependencies here and there. The printing/ghostscript issues are dealt with in bug 126705.
