I am a new Ubuntu user. I installed cups-pdf
to print a PDF file, but every time I try to print, I get one blank page, no matter how many pages I try to print.
How can I fix this problem?
Its a bug in cups-pdf
.
After installation, cups's pdf-printer doesn't get configured properly. To get it working you do the following:
http://localhost:631
./usr/share/ppd/cups-pdf/CUPS-PDF.ppd
.Go to Terminal and restart cups using the command:
sudo service cups restart
and voila! you are done.
PDFs will get printed in your /home/username/PDF
directory.
$ sudo apt install printer-driver-cups-pdf
(or if you're running < 16.04, $ sudo apt-get install cups-pdf
). With 16.04, at least, I didn't have to restart cups, but YMMV. I installed the printer-driver-cups-pdf
package on a brand new copy of 18.04 and it configured the PDF printer for me sans bug! (they fixed it)
/usr/share/ppd/cups-pdf/CUPS-PDF.ppd
on my drive. Instead, I have /usr/share/ppd/cups-pdf/CUPS-PDF_noopt.ppd
and /usr/share/ppd/cups-pdf/CUPS-PDF_opt.ppd
and none of them work.
I got the solution.
Just get the PostScript Driver and it works fine!
Or install this "PRINTER MODEL" CUPS + GutenPrint
I don't know why PLC 6/ PXL doesn't work, but if you install PostScript it will work!
cups-pdf
, I presume it's the latter.
