evince not refreshing printer list?

view full story
linux-howto

http://askubuntu.com – I installed a home network printer on my laptop, and could successfully print to it in evince. However, at work I use a remote CUPS server for printing. I added the CUPS server to the print settings of my machine, and the printer from my home network no longer appears there or in other print dialog boxes (such as Chromium). However, evince still displays the home printer and no other options... Any suggestions on how to get evince to update it's printer list? Sys info: Ubuntu 11.10, running Unity. (HowTos)

evince not print pdf document 3 years 44 weeks ago

i have gotten a pdf document on a CD which i need to print out. a program called evince is the default document viewer that came with my installation of fedora. it displays the document on the monitor just fine, all 152 pages of it.

Since I've installed Ubuntu 11.10 I can't print PDF files with evince.

I have a HP OfficeJet 6500 e709n, connected via wireless, and always when I start a print job with evince he crashes till I restart the printer.

With another programms like libreoffice I have no problems.

Anyone can help me?

Kind regards Martin

On a network printer I can only print on one side, not on both, even though the printer is perfectly able to do so.

For instance, when on evince I select two-sided (either long or short edge), a red message appears saying that

"some of the settings in the dialog conflict"

and indeed it only prints on one side, whatever the setting I specify.

What should I do?

I do not have a solution to your problem but I would suggest to point a browser to 127.0.0.1:631 and configure CUPS from that. You will inteact directly with CUPS and it is better for debugging. Now can you see your printer from there?

I've been working on setting up a print server for my home network, it works great! I can print just fine using lpr, and can print from LibreOffice, but cannot print from other KDE applications like Firefox. I went to add a new printer using system-config-printer-kde, but get an error (see attached screenshot for detail) about KCModule not providing an interface.

I just noticed that since using Ubuntu 12.04(.01) or since some update (can't tell it for sure) I cannot print from Firefox to my network printer (Samsung CLX-3175FN) any more.

Hi all,I have a Canon MP600 printer/scanner connected via USB to a small print- and scan-server running Arch (last update was yesterday). The printer is shared over the network and can be accessed from a Windows 7 client. But from time to time after 1-2 prints the printer crashes. I that happens, only a power disconnect can bring it back.
