If the pure file conversion from PS to PDF (not printing) takes 2 hours (in evince "Print to file", format PDF, or ps2pdf on the command line) then there is a problem with the file converter in use concerning the conversion process or the PS file is extremely awkward (in this latter case direct printing on a native PostScript printer can also take long time or even fail).
What needs to be tested is what step actually takes too long time. So please do a printing/converting operation which takes too long and while it is running, run the "top" command in a terminal window. Which process is at the top of the list? ** Changed in: evince (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/525161 Title: sometimes it's never print out any page and hangs on To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/525161/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
