Re: bug report request for advice
Hi,
I'm no expert about this, but some suggestions to hopefully point you in
the right direction at reporting this...

I have downloaded this document:
http://www.ridgid.com/ASSETS/8E8B3EDB0B5A4C9DBFD0A233725BB01C/940-713-030.10_1224_Threading_Machine_Man.pdf
The document displays correctly using Document Viewer 2.30.3.
I guess that is evince.
When I try to print pages 11, 12, and 13 on my HP LaserJet P2055dn
laser printer, the print preview is correct. However, pages 11 and 13
print incorrectly.
What does 'incorrectly' mean? Should you file a bug report you should
try and detail as much as possible about this.
Does it 'print' correctly if you print to file instead of hardware
printer? It does here.
I am able to correctly view and print the document using Microsoft
Windows XP Professional 5.1.2600 and Adobe Reader 7.0.8.
My guess is that there is a bug in the Debian printer driver (?).
You sohuld try and pin down what printer driver you are using. But also
consider that I *think* when evince prints it's relying on external
tools such as postscript etc.
How do I file a bug report?
There are various ways to do it. One very handy one is to run the command:
reportbug [name_of_package]
If you are running this for the first time it will present a kind of
'wizard' to configure it. You can leave most options at the default if
you don't know what to answer.
