Bug Description

Binary package hint: evince

System: HP Compaq 6715b with Ubuntu 7.10 (swiss german)

If I try to print out pdfs from evince to a network printer (HP2600N), I'll got only blank pages. Printing out the same pdfs from another computer works without any problems.

Hi Pedro

It seems to be a good morning. I try to confirm this issues this morning
and I've to say that it works now. Let us hope that it will work also in
the future :-)

I'm happy, but I'm also confused about that. This because I didn't
update anything.

I wish you a successful day and all the best from a snowy and windy
Switzerland.
Andreas

Below the additional information about this bug
---------------------------------------------------
I noticed this issue by printing some openoffice documents (exported in
pdf). Printing directly from openoffice works, printing after export
fails.
Exporting the same file from openoffice as .ps with printing the .ps
afterwards will work fine. Using ps2pdf as convertion tool and printing
the pdf afterwards will fail again.

My friend has the ubuntu 7.10 32 bit installed and has no problem yet
with printing pdfs using evince.
