Printing problem

Printing problem

[Mikael Sundqvist via ntg-context]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 731 bytes --]

Hi all,

I have had some printing problems lately, and it is not perfectly
clear to me (or to Hans, we have discussed this a bit) whether it is
the printer that has a lack of memory or if the pdf files are somehow
corrupted. It might have to do with type3 fonts.

I attach a pdf file that does not print on our printer at work. Or
well, it prints almost all of the page, but stops at the word
"negativa" (or was it "egenvärden", I do not have the printout here
right now). Then the printer also prints an error report about some
"offending command".

So, a request: If you have an easy access to a printer, can you print
this page and report back if all of it comes out, or what is
happening?

Thanks

/Mikael

Hello Mikael,

As asked, I printed the page on a HP Officejet Pro 7740 as well in draft- as in high-quality mode.
The print-out looks ok in both cases, there is all text and no errors.

Kind regards

Willi

* Qoppa PDF Studio 2019: ok

Looks like it might be a problem with Adobe’s PS/PDF library.

I was able to print Mikael's PDF without any problem. 

I used a HP Laser Jet Pro MFP M276W....BUT I should note that I also
used the PostScript driver available from HP's Linux-specific web pages:

Hi Mikael,

a friend printed the file on a Canon 4235i (from Windows 10 with Acrobat
Reader DC), there were no printing problems and the result is
high-quality output (as I would expect from many ConTeXt-generated
documents).

Just in case it might help,

Pablo

Thanks to all who tested. In the end I was not able to reproduce the
problem when printing from another computer that runs linux. I can
only reproduce when printing from the built-in pdf viewer in Chrome
OS. It only seems to happen when extensibles are "converted" into
type3 snippets (so that one can copy a big parentheses that has pieces
and get the correct unicode character, for example). This can be
disabled with

\disabledirectives[math.extensibles]

and I can use that when printing from this computer. I should probably
report somehow to Google, but that seems less clear how to do, if
possible.

Thanks again!

Can you make a small example file, with \pdfcompresslevel=0 that we can 
use to communicate the problem with Jacko/Janusz?

Hans—

The problem appears to be the Bonum font from the TeX Gyre  
distribution. If I change the font to GFSDidot, all is well.

Too bad—Bonum is a good font, I think, for papers that are to be  
presented by reading.

Re: printing problem

Aditya—

I am using character protrusion.

So far as printing goes, TexShop still prints long files with  
protrusion turned on and still fails with the question file when I  
turn it off.

But, as for not being able to open the file, I will check to see what  
the recipient is using to read it. That is a good tip. Many thanks.

Alan

Do you by any chance use character protrusion. I had trouble with 
character protrusion with pdf-1.4. It works correctly on my computer 
(WinXP+Acrobat 7.0) but, I could not open the file on Solaris+Acroread 
5.0. Acroread 7.0 opened the file correctly on Solaris, so I assumed 
that acroread 5.0 does not support the new method of character 
protrusion of pdftex.

I sent the file to someone on a Mac. If they double clicked on the 
file, acrobat 7 reported the file was damaged. If they opened the file 
from File->Open menu, it opened correctly. Since it was not my 
computer, and the file was opening correctly, I assumed it was a 
problem with the configuration on the Mac. (As you can see, I am very 
confident that pdftex is doing the right thing :). Disable character 
protrusion got rid of the problem with acroread 5.0 and Mac, so I did 
not worry about it more (there were other things to worry about, like 
the content of the pdf)

Hans—

I am not sure what you mean but I am now against the wall. I  
continued to edit the document and now the PDF is not printable (past  
page 3) at all—Acrobat Pro 8, TeXShop, PDFView are all stymied.

How do I preflight the document  and where is the latest pdftex? (Is  
it not in the latest ConTeXt?)

printing problem

[Alan Bowen]

I have a 24 page PDF file produced using ConTeXt  ver: 2007.02.21  
11:55 MKII and the latest TeXShop. I can only print pp. 1-3 of this  
file with TeXShop. Acrobat Pro, however, has no trouble printing the  
entire file (mercifully—this paper is for a conference for which I  
leave tomorrow) and TeXShop has no problem with my other files, some  
of which are quite long.

So I do I figure out what the problem is? It seems to be with the  
file, but I have no idea what. The encoding is hardly weird or unusual.

Though I can print the thing, the problem is still somewhat pressing.  
I sent the file to two people who usually have no difficulty with my  
PDFs. But this time one could not open the file—it was reported as  
damaged.

printing problem

[Hans Hagen]

Hi,

We have a color printer (oce 715 aka canon) with a fiery rip. When we print 
from acrobat directly, the same lines come out in different linewidths; 
when we print from acrobat as image, things are ok (bit slow and no control 
over duplex). PRinting from GSview via the windows gdi goes ok (but again 
slow). Should i deduce from this that a fiery rip cannot handle ps/pdf ok?
