Description Bas Zoetekouw 2005-08-23 12:42:20 UTC
Please describe the problem:
Evince can show gzipped ps files fine. However, printing them results in a
mutilated ps file being sent to the printer.

Steps to reproduce:
1. create a gzipped ps file
2. open it in evince
3. print the document to a file (or to the printer, if you have ink and paper to
spare)


Actual results:
The printer prints garbage (if you actually sent the job to the printer), or a
file (let's call it output.ps) is created, which looks like a gzipped postscript
file, but really isn't:

[bas@matilda]~> file output.ps
output.ps: gzip compressed data, was
"grcan.ps\371\200:\234p\333\0217q\305\201\034\257\027\223,\221\177\325\311RW\230",
from Unix, max compression
[bas@matilda]~> gunzip -S ''  output.ps
gunzip: output.ps: unexpected end of file


Expected results:
The uncompressed ps source should be printed

Does this happen every time?
yes

Yeah, I was using 0.3.0 (in Debian unstable).  0.3.4 works fine, thanks.
