Patch to fix Brother printing issues for poppler-0.20.2 |
Description

poppler-0.16 is not in the tree anymore. Do you still have this problem with poppler-0.18 or 0.20? I'm currently running stable app-text/poppler-0.18.4-r1 with exactly the same problems as reported for 0.16. The old patch still applies and fixes the problem for me. So far, I did not try poppler-0.20 yet. There has been no progress on the referenced upstream bugs since April, so I guess the problem still exists in 0.20 as well. Let me know if it's worthwile to test out poppler-0.20. Please try poppler-0.20. It should be fixed there imho. Created attachment 318864 [details, diff]
Patch to fix Brother printing issues for poppler-0.20.2
Tested poppler-0.20.2: It fixes only on of the two mentioned problems...
1. The first page after turning on the printer still fails with the same error.
2. Subsequent pages are successfully printed with correct margins.
To get a correct printout after turning on the printer, version 0.20.2 still needs the "Policies" line removed. Attached is a slightly modified patch for version 0.20.2 that fixes the remaining problem no. 1.
*** Bug 398043 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Just installed app-text/poppler-0.20.4 and tested this issue again: The problem still exists as described in comment 4, the patch for poppler-0.20.2 still applies and fixes the bug. From the upstream bug report: Stefan Brüns 2013-01-14 22:37:58 UTC The fragment is syntactically correct, but it may be semantically wrong. From PLRM 3 (p433 ff): /PageSize 6 : Select the next larger available medium but do not adjust the page. This might lead to an error if there is no pagesize larger than requested. @Andreas: What pagesizes are available? Which pagesize did you request? (In reply to Andreas K. Hüttel from comment #7) > From the upstream bug report: > > Stefan Brüns 2013-01-14 22:37:58 UTC > The fragment is syntactically correct, but it may be semantically wrong. > From PLRM 3 (p433 ff): > /PageSize 6 : > Select the next larger available medium but do not adjust the page. > This might lead to an error if there is no pagesize larger than requested. > What pagesizes are available?
