Hi there ....  Tonight's updates includes CUPS filter updates that include a new pdf2pdf filter that fixes the problem (I think?).

Regards,        Barry.

Just noticed - the bug is fixed in Raring, but so far has not been back-ported to Quantal.  I'd have thought that it ought to be done quickly as Quantal is the current version.

Barry.. Agreed!

I have just had to print a .pptx file from work with new procedures
effective tomorrow... therefore needed with me in print form urgently.
Fail!  [all in landscape, nothing prints].  Thank heavens for the gut
instinct [&, I think somebody's suggestion on here, maybe even yours] -
convert to pdf & print.  Done!

This needs a back-port a.s.a.p.

Hi, to have it back-ported it needs a couple of things... 1) A fix in current...

1) A fix in current dev (which you have)
2) A bug in quantal raised (which may exist, but needs a bug number).
3) Follow the SRU reporting[1]. Especially the part about how to update the bug in readiness for the SRU team to follow it. If the 'I's are dotted and the 'T's crossed it will get in much faster. Remember, lots of bugs want to be SRU'd... only a finite number of SRU people... They will be able to act much faster if you've done that.

The original bug report was: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1040037 and was made from Quantal.  That covers step 2 and step 3.  I don't understand how to go about step 3 as the bug ended up as an upstream bug in the CUPS filters and not in LibreOffice.  I imagine (am I right?) that as the original bug report was in respect of Quantal, it will eventually get a fix in that release.



Regards,        Barry.

Hi,

I'll go and ask the 'duty SRU' person of the best way to proceed on this :)

Regards,

Phill.
