In all fairness, I have often found this type of "strange error" to be a culmination of several different problems getting rolled into one symptom. * I was trying to print a pdf with two-pages on one A4 paper, when I realized the problem. * When I could not print on my FreeBSD system, I copied the pdf files to an old linux laptop and tried printing from there. Surprise! evince was unable to display the pdf file (some error "I can't do this"). * I went back to my FreeBSD PC and noticed that evince fails to show the pdf in proper format, but shows some (not all) pages upside-down. * I opened Okular, saved the pdf files with a new name and copied those files to the old linux laptop. I opened the "okular transformed" files with evince; no problems, and printed the files exactly as I wanted to. What the hell does this all mean? I have no idea! But, * I am merging gnome3 (marcusom) ports into my tree, so there's the first clue. * I tried printing a PDF file from Okular (KDE related, not Gnome) from the FreeBSD OS but failed for the same reason, and that's a second clue. * I wonder if ghostscript + Gnome3 merging has any relation to the problem? * As reminder, LPT printing to HP2100 is working (have not setup filters for LPT yet) for text files only. That's all I've got for now... ----- FreeBSD-11-current_amd64_root-on-zfs_RadeonKMS -- View this message in context: http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/print-cups-base-web-interface-broken-unable-to-print-tp5918098p5918572.html Sent from the freebsd-ports mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
