Comment 21 for bug 355801

To see whether a program uses a certain library, use the "ldd" command. Example for your case:

$ ldd /usr/bin/eog | grep -i cairo
 libcairo.so.2 => /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2 (0x00007ff3979df000)
 libpangocairo-1.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpangocairo-1.0.so.0 (0x00007ff3943aa000)
$

AFAIK all GNOME programs use Cairo. KDE programs do not use Cairo. So I recommend to use digikam to solve your problem. Note that KDE programs also work when you are using GNOME as your desktop. The needed libraries will get automatically installed when you install digikam via Software Center or apt-get.

In comment #10 I write about Gutenprint, not Ghostscript. There are no versions 5.1 and 5.3. The problems of the original poster are solved with Gutenprint of version 5.2.5-0ubuntu1.1 or newer and with Ghostscript of version 8.71.dfsg.1-0ubuntu5.1 or newer. Note also that Gutenprint is not recommended for your printer and you most probably do not use it. Your printer is the HP Color LaserJet 2605 and according to your previous postings you use HP's PPD to run the printer in PostScript mode.

Your discussion is mostprobably done in the wronmg bug. For the current problems of Cairo-generated PDF there is bug 680628. Please continue your discussion there and follow also the instructions there.
