Created attachment 293355 [details]
Example PDF printing blank pages

TEST CASE:
Open the attached file with evince.
It displays in evince, but it prints blank pages only.

Sending the same file directoy to the printer using "lpr" works fine.

Comment 1 Karl_Kashofer 2015-01-06 09:30:51 UTC
Hi !

Same happens to me on fully up to date debian jessie. I can not print any pdfs any more from evince, thats really serious!

FWIW, the file attached by the OP prints fine from iceweasel preview, but from evince i get only blank pages.

Likely a duplicate of Bug 739723
Comment 3 delete_my_account 2015-01-25 14:23:40 UTC
Blank pages when choosing to print multiple page on one side (also in print view).
I can't share the sample pdf publicly but willingly mail it to any developer that will ask for it.
Comment 4 Olivier Lenoir 2015-05-27 19:36:35 UTC
Is the correction of this bug is planned ?
Think about users please.
Comment 5 Germán Poo-Caamaño 2015-05-27 19:43:29 UTC
Does this happen with Evince 3.16?
Comment 6 Olivier Lenoir 2015-05-27 20:42:06 UTC
I can't know,
I'm running Ubuntu 15.04 and Evince 3.14,

Thanks
Comment 7 Germán Poo-Caamaño 2015-05-27 20:46:34 UTC
The thing is: if you can reproduce the bug in 3.16, then it is a new bug.  If you cannot reproduce it, then it is a duplicated of Bug 739723 (which is already fixed).
