| Summary | 0005677: Too many copies printed | ||||
| Description | Using FC6 with a HP Photosmart P1000 printer, I was attempting to print a single copy. FC6 requires using a print command: lp -dphoto; nothing else was added. The first time, a single copy was printed. The second time, two copies. The third time and thereafter, 3 copies. Shutting down Scribus and starting up again began this progression all over. Also opened up 1.3.3.x and this phenomenon did not happen. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Click print icon. Set requestor to print one copy. Press RETURN. | ||||

Can this issue be confirmed by anyone? Also it might help to write a script named "snoop": ____ #!/bin/sh echo $@ > /tmp/MYFILENAME.txt cat >> /tmp/MYFILENAME.txt ---- Then say chmod a+x snoop in the terminal and specify "/path/to/snoop" instead of "lp" in the Scribus preferences. print again and after each print command attach the file "/tmp/MYFILENAME.txt" to this bug. Tnx |

I've updated from CVS 20 May 2007, still getting same problem. Followed Andreas' suggestion and uploaded the file MYFILENAME.txt I also note that even though I print the first time in color, when the requester comes up again to print any time after the first, it indicates Print in Grayscale. I also deleted the entire .scribus directory and that didn't help either -- same problem. As I check again, it may actually print 2 copies the second time, 3 the third, 4 the fourth... (I have a hard time keeping track). |
|
|
Ah, does not contain what I expected but hints at the cause of the problem. Maybe the file ~/.scribus/tmp.ps is not deleted before each printjob? |
|
|
Ok, I added an explicit remove of the tmp file before the printkob is written. According to Qt docs that should not be necessary, but who knows... Can you test if this improves your situation? (the change should be in public cvs tomorrow morning) |
|
|
gpittman, can you retest with current cvs? |
|
|
Bad news. Tried again with CVS from 27 May, still the same problem, only slightly different. First print - one copy, in color Second - two copies, in color Third - 3 copies, in grayscale, even though requester said print in color if available. |
|
|
I've just tried this on another computer -- laptop on FC6 connected to a laser printer, 27 May 2007 CVS. Same problem -- can't check about the switch to grayscale since this is not a color printer, but the number of copies = the number of times you have used Ctrl+P. |
|
|
Perhaps here is something important: I just now looked, having shut down Scribus, shut down then restarted my laptop, and this tmp.ps file is still in the .scribus directory. Looking at this with kpdf, it is a four-page document, as you might expect four duplications of the single page I tried to print earlier -- I printed it four times and the last time got four copies. So apparently, each time I printed, it was appending to the tmp.ps file instead of replacing it. Is tmp.ps supposed to be deleted after it is printed? |
|
|
it's supposed to be deleted before each printjob. what are your permissions on that file and it's parent diretory? |
|
|
These are custom-install setups, much the same on each computer, so I have the Scribus binary in /home/gregp/scribus134/bin/. The .scribus directory (where the tmp.ps file is) is in my home directory and has permissions 775. |
|
|
I can reproduce this behaviour with printing to file on OSX. Also it appears to alternate between color and grayscale :-/ |
|
|
This was a Scribus internal problem, it didnt clear the list of pages to print after each print run. Another minor issue was that the choice between Color/Grayscale always changed between subsequent openings of the print dialog |
|
|
Checked out today with Fedora 7, color printer -- no extra copies, no change in color vs b/w |
