net-print/cups-pdf works fine here I use on multiple servers in multiple locations. I don't think it (net-print/cups-pdf) is related to "cups2pdf" as I have no such file on those systems. Sorry for the cups2pdf, it was a typo. It is 1) install net-print/cups-pdf. And here, it work, but I get only ps files. I even try to unmerge xpdf and install it from the original sources but the result is the same, xpdf cannot open them. And ater conversion with ps2ps and ps2pdf, it work. On the forum, it is several threads about this issue. A solution in kde seam to configure kprinter to not embed the fonts. http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-3831955.html#3831955 But as I use fvwm, I want a general solution and it is no such setting in the configuration wizard of cups (http://localhost:631/). Another problem is at I try to do that in kcontrolcenter and to print to a pdf file using kprinter, but it doesn't worked for me, the result was still a ps file. can you please contact cups-pdf upstream about this issue? And reopen here if it is gentoo specific I just contacted upstream. I also just try one more time to get it to work. What I previously done was to select the cups-pdf printer and select "print to a file" in order to be able to choose the filename and the location of the generated file. When doing this, I get a ps file, not a pdf. I just try to not check the "print to a file" box and I get a pdf file in /var/spool/cups-pdf/username So, the problem is in fact not cups-pdf but cups that doesn't use the cups-pdf driver but simply print a ps file when using the print to a file option. right, so this is your own fault or the fault of the config option not being obvious enough .. Yes, it is my fault. I am sure at I am not the only one doing this. |
