PDF output routine in lmtx

PDF output routine in lmtx

[Christian Prim]

Hi

in lmtx the pdf output routine has changed afaik. I just wanted to report,
that in lmtx our printer/copier (Ricoh 8200S or Ricoh 8110S) doesn't print
any character. A standard document as the MWE prints well under mkiv. Under
lmtx, there is no output (blank sheet). In a document with a tikz-figure,
the tikz-figure (without labels, as they are text) is printed. Something
with text output must have changed, that makes it incompatible with the
copier at our school. I tried to print with different drivers and also used
the printers interface (direct print via usb-stick). No success. Are they
some flags I can play with (like other pdf-version or so) to find a
solution to this problem? This "bug" prevents me to use lmtx at out school.

MWE:

\starttext
That is a test.
\stoptext

Of course there is no problem with the preview and the output works on a
HP-Printer.

Many thanks for all suggestions!

Christian

Hi

converting the document to ps and back to pdf works (pdf2ps and ps2pdf).
But I think there must be a simpler solution...

Any font?

hard to say ... we output rather straightforward pdf 1.7

Thanks for your answer, Hans. I checked standard (modern) and gyre-palatino
font. Both give no output. Did pdf-Version change between mkiv and lmtx? I
will try to find the problem in the pdf-file, if I can.

Thanks
Christian

you can run with

\nopdfcompression

i suspect that that printer is sensitive for some pdf font flag or so 
(not sure what rip is in it)

I have no solution, unfortunately, but I can add that I see similar problems. In my case, the printer is a HP LaserJet 1320. The page looks perfectly fine on screen; when I print it out, several Greek letters are replaced by questions marks in a small rectangular box. When I compile the same file with regular context mkiv, everything is printed as intended. So I’m at a loss…
