Bug#805357: cups-pdf: Print job with multiple input files doesn't work
Package: cups-pdf
Version: 2.6.1-20
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
sending a print job with multiple print files to the cups-pdf printer
does not work as expected.
When trying to print three or more files in one print job, the print job
seems to "hang" and does not disappear any more. Subsequent print jobs
sent to cups-pdf are not processed (possibly wait for the previous
print job to complete).
The following commands can be used to reproduce the described
behaviour:
echo "Hello world" > /tmp/input.txt
lp -d PDF /tmp/input.txt /tmp/input.txt /tmp/input.txt
The print job does not finish and can be shown e.g. using the command
"lpstat".
This also happens when different input files are used.
Printing a single file works OK.
When printing the same file only twice, the print job finishes, but the
created PDF file contains only the first page.
Expected behaviour:
The print job finishes and a PDF file with three pages, each containing
the text "Hello world", is created in the directory "~/PDF/".
