Cups won't print PDFs
Doug Bissett:
I have, sort of, been following this. All I can say, is that I have no trouble printing PDFs, using QPDFView (I scrapped Lucide when QPDFView became available).
From the first post:
--- Quote ---Warpin gives an error 'Invalid package index "5"

This is something that is wrong in the WarpIn installer. However, it can be worked around, by installing all of the other WarpIn packages first, then install the cups-base-1_4_8_3.wpi package. There seems to be something in the full WarpIn package, that has fixed the PDF problem (probably pdftops), that is not in the ZIP files.

Yes, of course.

I installed the updated pdftops Alex mentioned.

Are there any print properties that need to be changed in the print dialog of the app itself? I have no trouble printing with qPDFView...

That error is caused by missing libusbdll10.wpi - not a problem in the installer per se but in the README which wasn't updated to mention that this file is now used.

Yes, one can set the tray selection in the properties >advanced. It's set to cassette.I've downloaded libusbdll10.wpi and will try to reinstall using the wpi packages and see if that gives a different result.
