I have a similar problem after the upgrade to 12.04. I can't even print (even if I don't do a preview first) ... but only when I do *some* of the pages, like e.g. just page 1. If I print or preview the entire document, both work fine.

I'm attaching the results of error messages output by the printer diagnostic wizard.

I have an Epson Style NX215 with no special custom drivers which worked out of the box. I tried removing and reisntalling evince, no luck.

uname -a gives: Linux gravid 3.2.0-24-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 25 08:43:22 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

This bug was fixed in the package evince - 3.5.2-0ubuntu3

evince (3.5.2-0ubuntu3) quantal; urgency=low

Hum, I can't reproduce that issue on precise ... is that specific to some configuration? Does anyone still get it (trying to figure if there is a SRU we should do there)

in fact I get the apparmor warnings so I guess it's an issue, even if in practice there is no user visible issue, the document gets printed

I still get the issue:

1) Open up a pdf document with evince
2) Select print (Ctrl + p)
3) Select "print to file"
4) In interval; select to print some pages (for example: 8-12)
5) Preview
6) Print document from preview window

I haven't done any specific configuration.

Based on your comments that it is still an issue, I uploaded to precise-proposed. Couldn't test myself for lack of a printer.

Should I test with the solution from  Jamie Strandboge? How can I do that? I don't know if it has been added to the regular updates yet.

A comment will be added to this bug when it is accepted into precise-proposed with details of how to test. Thanks!

Hello Fredrik, or anyone else affected,

Accepted evince into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/3.4.0-0ubuntu1.2 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Hi!

This package fixed my bug, thank you!

I've done a follow up update to include another trivial fix (update a Replaces version for lucid updates) which include both entries if somebody of the SRU team want to accept the new one (will avoid having to wait another week to get the Replaces fix in)

The verification of this Stable Release Update has completed successfully and the package has now been released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regresssions.

This bug was fixed in the package evince - 3.4.0-0ubuntu1.3
