[Bug 18741] New: Wine printing output should be in .pdf rather than postscript

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18741 Summary: Wine printing output should be in .pdf rather than postscript Product: Wine Version: 1.1.22 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wineps.drv AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: scott(a)open-vote.org Blocks: 5551,6416 The new CUPS standards from http://openprinting.org/ say that .pdf is the preferred printing format over postscript: https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/printing-architecture/2008/001… -- PDF as the Standard Print Job Format ------------------------------------ To improve the reliability of the printing process, especially for complex graphics, high color depths, and for jobs where pages get separated and reordered (2 pages per sheet, booklets, selected pages, ...) we are switching from PostScript to PDF as standard print job format. The server (printing system) side is nearly completely implemented in the form of new CUPS filters and file conversion rules. On the client (application) side it is needed that the applications generate the print jobs in PDF and not in Postscript. This would mean a change of the print job generation part of OpenOffice.org. As OpenOffice.org has an excellent "Export to PDF" function, there will not be needed much new code. One can use this functionality to generate print jobs, using PDF settings optimized for printing. This is not absolutely urgent, as CUPS can convert PostScript to PDF with a pstopdf filter, but applications which directly produce PDF have a better control over the graphical quality of the print job, and they even solve page management (2 on a sheet, booklets, selected pages, ...) problems on old PostScript-based servers, as a CUPS filter will generate PostScript from the incoming PDF then (pdftops) and this PostScript is much cleaner as the one coming from most applications. So I am asking you whether you can change OpenOffice.org to make the "Print" command emitting PDF instead of PostScript. To not break lagacy, non-PDF-capable environments, make this a configurable option. I am very grateful for any support from the OpenOffice.org side in terms of these OpenPrinting projects. They will improve the printing workflow a lot and will make many bugs and user complaints go away. -- We should do a similar thing in Wine -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

[Bug 17329] New: Wine needs more userfriendly message when certain dlls are not registered/missing
by wine-bugs＠winehq.org Nov. 11, 2016

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17329 Summary: Wine needs more userfriendly message when certain dlls are not registered/missing Product: Wine Version: 1.1.12 Platform: PC URL: http://www.whizlabs.com/download.php?prod=SCJP6.0.exe OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Keywords: download Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: ole32 AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: xerox_xerox2000(a)yahoo.co.uk Created an attachment (id=19352) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=19352) an idea of how to generate more userfriendly message This bug's intention is to enhance user friendlyness, and hopefully less invalid bug reports, and more first time success experience for users. Take for example app from http://www.whizlabs.com/download.php?prod=SCJP6.0.exe (from some bug in bugzilla). The application fails with a run-time error, and some , for newbies, cryptic ole errors. I think it would enhance wine's userfriendlyness a big deal, if we would just put up a nice messagebox, with a message what the error means, and what should be done. I'll attach a (crappy) patch , just to give an idea how easy it would be to give users more clues how to get around the "bug". Just apply patch , and run the app above, and user will know he has to install wsh56. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
