[Bug 461918] Re: Evince fails to print this PDF

 

Interestingly, I generated two PDFs with xelatex, identical except for
including a PNG image.  Both documents look okay in Evince, but the one
with the image prints the reverse (even numbered) pages upside down.
Unfortunately, I can't attach the documents here, but contact me
privately (ketil a malde d org) if you would like a copy to debug this.

Title:
  Evince fails to print this PDF

Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evince

  I'm trying to print this file, and evince has failed on the two
  printers (different makes) that I have available.  It is possible the
  problem is elsewhere, since evince manages to generate a postscript
  file, however, the resulting postscirpt does not print (with lpr)
  either.

  Evince hangs after printing page 1 for a long time, so I guess it's
  the image on page 2 that causes the problem.  The print jobs are
  reported to be 38MB (and the generated postscript is 167MB), so
  perhaps it's just the size that's too large?  Still thought I'd report
  it, these sizes shouldn't be insurmountable in this day and age.
