[Bug 661724] Re: Printing certain documents yields characters scattered all over the page

 

The linked branch contains the backported upstream fix -- testing
welcome!

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: evince
  
  Print of document produces scattered characters all over document,
  figures are OK
  
  Display is OK. It seems similar to bug #457574 but I added a new one,
  since its "fixed" for Hardy.
  
  Whats more strange is that print to PDF and PS produces a correct
  document.
  
  To reproduce:
  - Load attached pdf in evince
  - Print preview (print preview as well as print is corrupt)
  
  Workaround:
  - Print to pdf
  - Open new pdf and print is (correct print preview as well as print)
  
  I dont know if its important - my printer is a network printer over
  Wlan, HP deskjet 930C, with standard driver from ubuntu. It prints
  without problems (corrupt documents, as well as the correct pdf after
  printing to pdf)
