Debian :: Print An OpenOffice Or LibreOffice Calc With An Image And Text, The Image Is Not Printed (the Space Is Blank)
May 11, 2011
I have a Canon iR3570/iR4570 PXL, and installed the driver CQue 1.0 TCP/IP Queue from Canon webpage.
The problem:
- if i try to print an OpenOffice or LibreOffice Calc with an image and text, the image is not printed (the space is blank).
- if i try to print an OpenOffice or LibreOffice Calc with just an image, it's printed great.
- if i try to print an OpenOffice or LibreOffice Impress, the images are not printed but the text is printed great.
Interesting problem: For the first time with Xubuntu 10.10 64bit, I am finding certain applications print corrupt. A varying amount of letters / numbers either get substituted/print a blank space/ print a box etc etc. This corruption seems to happen from a Pdf ( evince ) or Spreadheet ( Gnumeric ) Opening the same Pdf on another machine (ubuntu 10.10 32bit) prints perfectly. Opening the same .xls file on the original computer but using OOo Calc prints perfectly.
I guess I have ruled out any problems with the printer itself or the network JetDirect box. I have re-installed CUPS and evince and upgraded to the latest version of HPLIP but the problem appears unchanged.
I have an old scanner script that uses pamthreshold to create a small greyscale image of a text document. This program does not seem to be available in debian. Can anyone tell me how I can install it, or if there are any better alternatives available?
WTF why is it with every update the devs try to break something. Might as well be using Ubuntu at this point and No I do not want to install Stable. Todays updqate would bring in linux-image-2.6.39-1-686-pae linux-image-686-pae, but my CPU Single core Intel Pentium M (-UP-) cache 1024 KB flags (sse sse2) bmips 1196.07 clocked at 600.00 MHz doesn't use PAE so it told me to remove linux-image-686 and to install linux-image-486. So more shiny crap that doesn't support older hardware, it is getting to be as bad as Microsoft.
Why don't I just go upgrade or buy new hardware with every new shiny crap that wants to upgrade. If it isn't broken do NOT fsck with it.
The OpenOffice Quickstarter icon in the system tray for Ubuntu 10.04 is an old image and does not fit in with the default theme (light grey background). In fact, the same icon used for the Windows version is at /usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/openofficeorg3-startcenter.png. Where the quickstarter getting this misfitting icon? Perhaps I could simply copy the icon above to the location and file name used by quickstarter.
I wanted to compose a letter and include photos that are on my other (secondary) hd. When I navigate to the folder that the photo is in, OpenOffice suddenly crashes without warning. Then I have to recover my file. If I insert a photo from my main hd (the one with SuSE 11.2 on it) then there's no problem. Why does it crash when I try to go into my other hard drive? (It gets automatically mounted as /local when I boot into the system). I'm running Open SuSE 11.2 and OpenOffice 3.1.1.4 (from an .rpm)
I am trying to copy content from firefox, which has images on it, to Openoffice writer. However, the image does not seems to get copied. It shows only some link. Is there a way to copy everything including images?
I have a rather large image that I want to print onto several pages. How would you recommend doing this? I've been copying sections and printing like that using GIMP, and I have had limited success using presentation type software, but is there a faster way of doing this?
edit #1: Being able to Print this to PDF or PS would be great.
(Office computer runs slightly modified version of ubuntu 10.04-LTS 32bit)
I have box that I run Sid on. I haven't used if for a month or so and have found that OpenOffice is gone and appears to have been replace by LibreOffice. I have come across one other thread which noted something similar. Is LibreOffice any better than OpenOffice? I plan to purge LibreOffice and install OpenOffice back on unless there is a good reason to keep LibreOffice.
I tried to create a report from a table which contains text and image fields. The created report show text fields well but only empty fields as Images. How can I do that?
I want to print a document with a tux image in its background. I mean that the image of tux will be on the background & the article will be written over it,how can I do that?
I'm not a Script-fu expert but I did manage to get a Script-fu script to at least not throw up any errors. However, it also doesn't work. I've written a bash script to use gphoto2 and imagemagick to snap a picture, download, rotate and crop it ready for print. I'd like to automate the final step and have The GIMP or some other program print it.
My script-fu script is: (define (printshot filename) (let* ((image (car(gimp-file-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE filename filename))) (gimp-print-gtk RUN-NONINTERACTIVE image) (gimp-image-delete image))) )
and my bash script to call it is: gimp -i -b '(printshot $1)' -b '(gimp-quit)' I know it's executing the script-fu script because I have received error messages when I do something invalid in it. However, I don't get any output. I get the same thing when I run it from the Script-fu console. It seems to execute but doesn't print anything.
I frequently (i.e. after 10-20 minutes of use) get a complete system freeze when using LibreOffice Calc 3.3.3, on Ubuntu 11.04. At the time, I have an *.ods file open, and the freeze happens at various times, for example just after pressing the Page Up button. After the freeze occurs, nothing responds, not even Ctrl+Alt+F1, and I have to force power off my laptop.
how to debug this problem, as there's no error message, no error log (that I know of??)..
I am trying to upload some pics on my Facebook account using Firefox. When I click on Facebook's file upload icon, Firefox bring up a 'File Upload' window. I noticed that smaller image file is previewed on the lower right hand corner, while bigger image file is not. Is there anyway I can change this behavior or maybe change what Firefox is using to browse my files?
I am running Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex dual-booting with Vista for work purposes. I have been running the two successfully for quite a few months now and am just getting to grips with it. I have lost my desktop at start-up. I get all the way past the Login to a blank desktop background (just colour - no image) and the only thing visible is a Terminal window. As I am not familiar with Linux command lines I can't do very much. I have even tried reinstalling Ubuntu which showed no error messages that I noticed but, I have the same result. At the moment I have used Supergrub to allow me to boot straight to Vista till I get things sorted out.
When playing dvd's, vob files and wmv files, the image comes with high contrast colors ,very intense red/green/blue. very dark too. I have vlc 1.1.4 installed, using ubuntu 10.10, libdvdcss2 installed. for the rest of the video formats it seems to work fine. any ideas on what should I start debugging?
I have just exported 3 png files out of gimp for a html document I'm working on right now, and they are all almost the same, except I need each to load when the user does something. So the first image will display on the page, and when a user puts their cursor over it, then it will load image 2. When they press it, it loads image 3.
I am using apache pdfbox box 1.5 with openjdk i.6.0_0 on opensuse 11.4 32-bit (minimal install, as provided by amazon ec2). The problem is that when I use the apache pdfbox tool to convert a pdf to an image the image is blank. I am using the exact same application on opensuse 11.2 (default install from opensuse 11.2 dvd) with no problems. I suspect there are issues caused by uninstalled packages. I installed several font packages and Image manipulation packages with no success.
I was given a forensic Image which I now know is a DD image of the drive (Vista) and am trying to mount the image or extract the image to another drive. I'm not sure of the extention type or if the image is a partition or the entire drive. I think it is the entire drive.
Is it possible to mount a DD image to a device. If I can't do that I just want to extract the files to run some programs against the drive. Can I view the files under Ubuntu or do I have to remove the drive and stick it into a Vista computer.
I purchased a second drive today and was hoping the command line would be something simple.
Or am I on the wrong track, should I be doing this all in a windows environment. The reason I picked ubuntu was because of the reporting tools.
I'm trying to make buttons for a webpage - each button has a "graphic" part - say an oval with a drop shadow, and text on top of that, such as "About Us", "Contact Us" etc. I'd like the text to line up horizontally against one another, so that if the buttons are placed next to one another in a straight line across the page, the texts line up with one another. How do I do this in GIMP?Common sense suggests that the "Align" tool should be what I should be using, but how do I use it?
I'm doing a project on an embedded board, and would like to put the version number, compilation date etc. onto the splash screen and a few other places. The splash screen is a .bmp image. Any way to do this from a script? Are there any command-line tools that let you do this?
I would like to change my startup image (usplash image). For that i change /lib/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu_logo.png and /lib/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu_logo16.png. Then the splash screen of shutdown screen changes .But booting screen doesnot change.
The problem is that fdisk -l displays start & end sectors of the partitions and I need to know blocks. How do I determine the block number after the last partition to start writing this image?
Quote:
cat /proc/partitions
Displays blocks per partition. I could add those numbers up but is sure would be nice to have a utility that just give you what you need.
I have this function that is supposed to print draw the first image from a function then hide the rest of the images using 'display: none' however for some reason the boolean test does not seem to work on one of my servers however it works on another, is there some php.ini setting I am missing or can you see any issues with the following code:
For some reason under Ubuntu 9.10 (x86 and x64), MetaPost refuses to render any images that contain text. If you open the file for Image.1, it opens evince and it hangs indefinitely. I can create images perfectly fine and render this as long as there is no text. Am I missing any specific font packages or something that I should be using? I know that it works under Windows. I also know that on a different machine I had a while back (running Ubuntu 8.04, I believe), I had it working then.
