I think I understand this better now. Opening up a single page pdf, you'd expect the print default to  be set to 'all'. In fact it was set to 'pages 2-3', even although there are no pages 2-3 in the file opened. Hence the blank print. Needs fixing just the same.

There are also some extrange behavior with other pdfs. For example, with attached one, a white page is printed before printing the proper one

What more info do you need? I think that this problem should be fixed if possible :-(

Thanks a lot

Is evince using the cairo backend? (Check in about dialog)
Comment 7 Pacho Ramos 2008-01-13 18:10:10 UTC 
Yes, it is using "poppler 0.6.1 (cairo)"
Comment 8 Pacho Ramos 2008-01-24 16:00:37 UTC 
I have compiled popplet-bindings without cairo and, now, evince works fine using "splash" backend (from about dialog).

Then, seems a problem with evince cairo backend


Thanks

I cannot find any way for getting this bug out of NEEDINFO state :-(
Comment 10 Pacho Ramos 2008-09-03 18:33:02 UTC 
Seems that it's a poppler bug fixed in 0.8* poppler* series :-D
