xreader or printer issue

Post by wwfwng »

Hello. I recently installed Mint 21 Mate. I had been running 19.3 Mate. When I print ps files from xreader in Mint 21, a blank page is printed. I do not have this issue printing from Atril in Mint 21 or from xreader in Mint 19.3. I suspect that this is bug. Any thoughts?

Does this happen only with ps files?
If you try to print, what does the print preview show?

It only happens with ps files as far as I know. This is a new install and I have only had it a week. The previewer also shows a blank page.

I have the exact same problem printing PS documents with a recently upgraded Mint 21 Cinnamon. I have also noticed that since upgrading, when printing PDF documents using xreader the documents appear slightly blurry and sometimes the top of the page is cut off. When I print the same PDF document using Okular they appear perfect, so it isn't a problem with the printer. I didn't have any of these problems on Mint 20.3.
