Ubuntu :: Print Multiple .doc Files?

Jun 12, 2010

I often have a need for printing multiple files. Therefore I found a Nautilus script that would allow me to do this. However often many of the files a Microsoft Office doc-files. Since I do not really want to convert every single file (as that would defeat the purpose of bundle printing) I tried to figure out how to print these, as the commands "lpr" og "cupsdoprint" cannot process these. I have found a printing command using the CLI part of OpenOffice, but I cannot get it to do multiple selected files.

The command is:

Code:
soffice -p "/path/of/file.doc"

How can I use this in a Nautilus Script so I can print multiple files?

General :: Print Multiple Independent Pages In One Print Job?

Mar 23, 2010

How can I combine multiple single page prints into a single print job? For example, using Firefox on Linux one can print a web page such that each sheet of paper has four pages printed upon it. I would like to combine several separate web pages so that for example, web-page-a, web-page-b and web-page-c (each less than one print page long) are printed on a single sheet of paper.

I would like to do this without having to use some form of image editor to combine and manage manually created temporary files.

Ubuntu :: Cannot Print PDF Files - Print Preview Shows A Blank Page

Jun 5, 2011

I cannot print pdf files. I have tried using okular and xpdf. The documents display in the program, but print preview shows a blank page. The printer then sends out blank pages. I have tried printing on 2 different printers using usb cables. Using terminal to process the commands shows error:

Quote:
xxx@xxx:~$ xpdf
***** MediaBox = ll:0,0 ur:611.976,791.968
***** CropBox = ll:0,0 ur:611.976,791.968
***** Rotate = 0
Segmentation fault

Converting to .ps also is blank.

Ubuntu :: Print An .odg File To Multiple Pages?

Jul 19, 2011

Are there any reliable ways to print libreoffice or openoffice drawings to multiple pages. I have two drawings I designed for 11" x 22" sheets, and I'd like to print one of them to 4x or at most 6x 8 1/2" x 11" sheets, without reduction.

So far, when I've tried this using "print to multiple sheets," the results have been erratic, and have basically wasted paper and ink with no usable results.

I can't even preview this.

I am using the old trick of creating a duplicate file, and creating for duplicate slides within it, making each slide one group, and using the alignment settings to make each slide match one corner of the original image. It works, but it is kinda clunky.

Ubuntu :: Cannot Print PDF Files To Printer

Jan 26, 2010

I cannot print pdf files. I click print in evince everything seems ok but nothing comes out on the printer. I receive no error. I have a HP printer (LasterJet 3005n) attached over a network. I am running 9.10 on a Dell Optiplex. I did not have this problem in 9.04. I had this problem immediately after I did a fresh install of 9.10. I can print open office documents without any problem, just not pdfs. I have the same problem with my serval laptop (also running 9.10).

Ubuntu :: Cups: Large Files Do Not Print?

Nov 29, 2010

i have a problem with cups on a lucid/64 machine.

"Unable to write print data: Broken pipe"

The pdf-file to print has a size of 4,7MB. After sending the file to the printer the size of the file is more than 18 MB.

We use a Xerox WorkCentre 7232 which is via

socket://ip_adress:9100

connected to cups. The same configuration had been working fine for several years with hardy.

Cups refuses to print large files. When splitting up the print-file all works fine.

General :: Can't Print Pdf Files From The Ubuntu PDF Viewer On Printer

Aug 6, 2010

I can't print pdf files from the Ubuntu PDF viweer on my printer - I get a message that 'pdftorasterfailed'. My workaround is to print to file then print the postscript file. Annoying but it works. I did some searching and this is a known bug in cups for Ubuntu 10.04. The first thing I tried was a system update, that did update cups but it still fails. I found this link:

and have the patch files, but how do I apply them?

Software :: Better Program To Print Pdf Files

Sep 29, 2010

I have had bad experiences using Evince and Okular to print SOME pdf files. For example I scanned a bunch of last year's medical records and bills to a pdf file using my scanner and Xsane. I can view the file but not print a page to my Brother laser printer. Same goes with my CITI bank Master Card statements. They appear to be images of the paper statement - not sure if that has anything to do with it.I had to resort to using a Windows 7 virtual machine running the huge bloated brand name Acrobat reader

Anyhow... this afternoon I built a VMWare virtual machine of the latest Ubuntu 10.10 beta. Setup my laser printer and decided to try to print one of my problem files. Evince did not do it. pdftops pegged the CPU at 100% and it stayed there until I killed it. Then one page came out with some not helpful error messages. I then looked in the Software Store and started down the list of pdf viewing programs. However, my plan was to keep trying programs until I found one that worked. Success came soon with ePDFViewer. It works on both 10.10 and 10.04 (my current desktop) and will print any pdf I have thrown at it. I am now a happy camper as far as pdf files are concerned.

Debian :: Okular Doesn't Print PDF Files?

Accidentally noticed that I am NOT able to print pdf files in Okular (Version 0.9.4, KDE 4.3.4). Clicked print and nothing happens, no error message.The same file CAN be printed using evince on the same system. I've created the pdf file using soffice so permissions is not a problem.However, the same file CAN be printed in openSUSE's Okular.If someone can confirm that I am right/wrong, then I can decide whether to file a bug report?

Fedora :: Cannot Compare Two Directories And Print Files

Sep 12, 2010

I have to write a script that accepts two directory names (JIIT, JUIT) as positional parameters and checks which files are identical in both directories and files having same contents are also considered as identical in same directory. I tried using diff:

#both directories contain three files...file1, file2, file3
echo "Enter the directories:"
read d1
read d2
cd $d1

if diff file1.sh file2.sh > /dev/null
then echo same 1,2
else echo different
fi

if diff file1.sh file3.sh > /dev/null
then echo same 1,3
else echo different
fi

if diff file2.sh file3.sh > /dev/null
then echo same 3,2
else echo different
fi

cd ../
cd $d2
.....

I used the same code in the other directory for the three files. This is not running. I also want to know what to do when I need to compare files from different directories. i.e., JIIT, JUIT..

Software :: Making Pretty Print From Various Text Files

Jul 5, 2011

I have various text files -- some "source code", some "data files" -- that I'm formatting with enscript. Can someone answer some questions about use and workings of enscript?

1. How does enscript know which printer to use as a default? My command lines do not specify a printer but output makes its way to the system default printer. Neither PRINTER nor LPDEST are set in the environment. So what is enscript using to learn the default?

2. How do I get --landscape to work as an enscript option? Whatever enscript sends to the printer accomplished the N-up and other formatting, but the content appears portrait instead of landscape?

3. Running Ubuntu Lucid desktop, I also use CUPS and HPLIP for printing. Need to understand the interactions among the desktop CUPS and bash shell command line access to printing? I tried viewing the environment looking for printer and similar variables. 'set' showed a group of shell functions instead of environment variables. I'm confused.

Follow-up: The functions were all ImageMagick details. (blush) The variables went by so fast I missed them. Even so, I still don't find anything to tell 'enscript' which printer is default.

Ubuntu :: Printing Corrupted - Get Substituted / Print A Blank Space / Print A Box

Mar 23, 2011

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.

Fedora Security :: Print - SELinux Is Preventing Access To Files With The Default Label - Default_t

Mar 13, 2009

I went to print something and I get this message: Summary: SELinux is preventing access to files with the default label, default_t.

Detailed Description: SELinux permission checks on files labeled default_t are being denied. These files/directories have the default label on them. This can indicate a labeling problem, especially if the files being referred to are not top level directories. Any files/directories under standard system directories, /usr, /var. /dev, /tmp, ..., should not be labeled with the default label. The default label is for files/directories which do not have a label on a parent directory. So if you create a new directory in / you might legitimately get this label.
