Cups-pdf prints a blank page
« on: December 04, 2011, 07:14:41 PM »
Hi:

I installed CUPS 1.4.8 and cups-pdf.  Test  page prints ok. :)
But when I print a page from Firefox or LibreOffice, the result is a blank page with the correct title. :(

Is there anything missing?

You could try printing from a terminal window "lpr somefile.txt" (if cups-pdf is set as the default printer) and see what happens.

You could also try setting the log level to debug in cupsd.conf, restarting cups and check the error_log to see if there's any useful information.

hi cefcom,

perhaps you have an unresolved dependency:

load poppler-bin.tcz and then try it again.

i know this issue in a very basic, lean system that has just X and firefox,
but after openoffice poppler-bin is loaded and everything is fine.
