If you are using gtk 2.24 or later AbiWord has printed the file in PDF format. There are a few things you can try to narrow down the cause of this bug. 1. Print from AbiWord to a PS file and print the PS file bypassing CUPS filtering: lpr -o raw print.ps 2. Print from AbiWord to a PDF file, convert to PS then print: pdftops -level2 print.pdf lpr -o raw print.ps and pdftops -level3 print.pdf lpr -o raw print.ps Your printout has been converted from PDF to level 3 PS. The font is embedded as a CID font. If you convert to level 2 PS, CID fonts will not be used. It could be that the your printer has a problem with CID fonts. I found a couple of similar bug reports: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19640 https://bugs.launchpad.net/poppler/+bug/277404 I tried printing your printout on my Xerox printer which has an Adobe PostScript 3 interpreter and it printed correctly. -- cairo mailing list [email protected] http://lists.cairographics.org/mailman/listinfo/cairo
