[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#617468: [cups-pdf] I cannot make this software generate a usable image from the source file.

[Willy Gommel]

Package: cups-pdf
Version: 2.5.1-1
Severity: important

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
I have had cups-pdf installed on my machine for years now. Imagine my surprise 
to pull it up for a routine run on the magazine I typeset, only to find that all 
pages I output with it are in fact blank.

I attribute this to cups-pdf for the following reasons: 1. the wheezy release is 
a new one; 2. openoffice.org is having no problem bringing up the pages in print 
preview mode; and 3. cups-pdf was all I needed to install to print to .pdfs. 
Still, I realize that lots of other packages do get installed with a big, 
complex package like cups-pdf; therefore, if it's necessary to redirect this 
report to one of the others or, for that matter, even ask me to refile my bug 
report against one of the supporting packages, I will gladly cooperate.

Thanks very much for your help with this issue!! :)
