There is no problem with a missing /etc/cups/pdftops.conf. The current version of /usr/bin/pdftops works perfectly when called with
pdftops -cfg /etc/cups/pdftops.conf walking-map-portland-1.pdf and not having /etc/cups/pdftops.conf. It simply ignores the missing config. Only problem can perhaps be that it uses the system's default config which is perhaps not the best for printing. After running the above command I can display walking-map-portland-1.ps with "gv" without problems, so the tool works without /etc/cups/pdftops.conf. The problem is that GhostScript exits with an error when converting the data to the printer's native language. Perhaps this can be avoided with a proper /etc/cups/pdftops.conf file. Helge Blischke, the author of the alternative pdftops CUPS filter (which we are using here) delivers one with his filter, it is only not delivered with our distribution. I have attached the /etc/cups/pdftops.conf from Helge Blischke, please put it into your /etc/cups directory and try again. If it still does not work, try commenting out the fontDir line in the /etc/cups/pdftops.conf file. ** Attachment added: "Upstream /etc/cups/pdftops.conf" http://librarian.launchpad.net/6820831/pdftops.conf ** Changed in: cupsys (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium Status: Unconfirmed => Needs Info Target: None => ubuntu-7.04 -- /etc/cups/pdftops.conf doesn't exist https://launchpad.net/bugs/92274 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
