Gtk3 is coming to get you

[GekkoP]

The source for epdfview is here: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/vi ... fview.html

and it builds on my 64-bit sid box. I'll try it on 32-bit and LFS tomorrow.

It builds on my Elektra. Everything's fine.

[GekkoP]

Actually, it builds but it lacks printing support.

[machinebacon]

Can you not directly send the PDF to the printer via cups-pdf?

Edit: sorry, bullshit.

But there must be a way to print PDFs directly without frontend. I guess poppler does just this.

Edit 2: bullshit - not poppler.

But lpr does it! And I wasn't completely wrong, you need cups-pdf for it: http://terokarvinen.com/2011/print-pdf- ... -lpr-p-pdf

[GekkoP]

Never tried that. I'll have a look.

[machinebacon]

^ check the edit of the post above you, sorry :)

[GekkoP]

Yes, thanks, you're the man!

Code: Select all

lpstat -p -d
printer OKI_DATA_CORP_MB471 is idle.  enabled since Fri 15 Nov 2013 15:44:41 CET
	Waiting for printer to finish.
printer PDF is idle.  enabled since Fri 15 Nov 2013 15:32:19 CET
system default destination: PDF

lpr -P OKI_DATA_CORP_MB471 /path/to/file.pdf

Who needs epdfview to print now? :)

[machinebacon]

printers are bloat. Ehm... :D

Just ran across this:
http://seasonofcode.com/pages/jfbview.html
I have been playing with different stuff on killx for pdf reading, so I'm going to see if I can get it to work there, but it might be something worth considering elsewhere. I'll post more if I get it working.

Edit: Works fine on Debian. Pure FB implementation, but takes control of all the screen...not really exactly what I was looking for, but would work fine for just reading a pdf. It's a bitch to build on killx. Main program requires 2 deps, those each require 3 deps, which all require 4 deps...ad infinum. :P

^ your depend thing sounds like French paperwork 8)

+1 lpr circa 1980 still rocks the house.

OK, throw me on the grill for asking a dumb question - is the package removed or is it an orphan waiting for a new maintainer - or for someone to fork it?

Yes. It is removed, and an orphan waiting for a new maintainer - or for someone to fork it. For now, you should look for alternatives or try to build it yourself. If you already have it you can keep it until it breaks.
