https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D231110 Bug ID: 231110 Summary: GTK print dialogs falsely believe lpr cannot accept PDF Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: george@m5p.com CC: gecko@FreeBSD.org, gnome@FreeBSD.org Created attachment 196805 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D196805&action= =3Dedit Patch to tell GTK that lpr accepts PDF output The LPR backend for GTK asserts that "lpr" cannot accept PDF files. Grante= d, you can't tell in general whether lpr in a given situation will be able to print a PDF or not, but declaring that it can't is needlessly restrictive. = The attached patch (works for both GTK2 and GTK3) adds the "accepts-pdf" proper= ty to the lpr backend and fixes the problem. This patch is suggested as an alternative to the patch from the freebsd-gec= ko email thread "firefox-60.0_2,1 missing 'Print to LPR'", from May 13, 2018, which circumvents the problem by generating PostScript output instead of PD= F.=20 Fixing the problem in GTK means that other users of GTK won't have to create parallel workarounds. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
