Summary0000576: Can't print last page from qt4 apps
DescriptionUsing qpdf, made a ticket at svn.netlabs qt4apps about not able to print properly(Ticket 0000055 ).

To use qpdf i needed to install cups again, tried it a long time ago, but installed ecomstation new, so all old configuration is gone. Newest version of cups installed (cups-base-1_4_8_3.wpi with needed additional packages)
Installed went smooth, no problems.
Printing from qpdf or any other qt4 application leeds to the situation that I can print all pages except the last page! (if there is only 1 page nothing is printed).
Installed cups with two printers:
kyocere 1030d
Hp2200
the first tested with gutenprint and own ppd file.
hp2200 tested with gutenprint.
both have the same problem.
Both also are connected to a wireless lan with a printserver.
Strange minor problem is that both printers can print duplex, but mostly not with cups, I can select duplex, but all prints are most of the time printed on one side.

Using a printer attached to the cups port and printing with an os/2 application, gives no problems (all pages are printed)
I made a copy of the error log and put it on the svn.netlabs.org/qtapps/ticket/55
If you need other information please let me know.

try replacing \cups\lib\cups\filter\pdftops.exe with the one at http://smedley.id.au/tmp/pdftops.zip

I haven't tested this, but it's a hunch

Tested it, but now, it doesn't print at all.
according to the jobs log:
stopped
"Empty print file!"
but size is 464K

OK, my 1st guess was wrong.

try replacing \cups\bin\pdftops.exe with the one at http://smedley.id.au/tmp/pdftops.zip

Tested as fixing PDF printing here

I believe this is resolved with the new pdftops

Printing works fine now. Thanks!
one issue remains.
Cups won't print duplex! Printer prints duplex with os/2 driver. Cups also says it can. Printing from qpdf with duplex selected (default value in cups ) and selected in the application, but no duplex is printed.

please open a separate ticket for duplex. My HP printer supports duplex, and it definitely duplex prints from linux. I will do some testing and see if I can reproduce.
