Thank you, Kuroshima, for reporting this. I have struggled with this bug on Ubuntu 10.10 and 12.04. I didn't report it myself because my problematic PDFs are copyrighted. However, I am attaching a screenshot of Evince's screen display (left) and Evince's print preview (right).
This sounds like a very old Ghostscript bug (http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=691760) but I ran the test documented there and it worked fine, so I think it's unrelated. My work-around was to print via Xpdf, which was awkward but worked. However, now Xpdf is completely broken (bug #943195) and I am without a way to print my maps at all. ** Bug watch added: Ghostscript (AFPL) Bugzilla #691760 http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=691760 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/794142 Title: Printing PDFs with some greyscale images results in the images appearing as negatives To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/794142/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
