kde printing and cups-pdf

QuimaxW · 2007-10-03 00:47:31

This was working before, but I don't know what changed, nor where to look to find anything.

What's happening is that anything printing through KDE's print system (ie Konqueror, Kate, KMail) produces defunct .pdf files when I print to my cups-pdf printer. There are no errors in /var/log/cups/cups-pdf.log. The only thing I do notice is that upon inspection of the resulting pdf in a text editor is that it appears only the header is written, there doesn't seem to be any data written after that.

This all does work from Firefox, and I can print a test page from within the cups setup (http://127.0.0.1:631), so I know that it does work.

Anyone have a clue what KDE setting might be goofed up?

Well, I cannot help you out on this as I am having the same problem. On my ens it seems that everything is printed as postscript rather than pdf. I am messing with my settings atm, trying to figure it out. Will post an update is I succeed.

Ok, managed to solve my own problem. QuimaxW, try posting your /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and your /etc/cups-pdf.conf.

I'd kinda forgotten about this. It worked for me after I deleted by .kde folder. (I was doing that for other reasons) But only for a while, it's now not working again, so I hope what you figured out also works for me!
