empty pages wih cups-pdf

[furgo]

Hello, I have a somewhat erp software called "Revolver Office". All works fine, but not printing to pdf files. The printed pdf file is completely empty. I see the cups-pfd driver. Printing a test page works also printing from windows notepad. I use PlayOnLinux with wine version ??? (how to get it?) on Ubuntu 13.04. I'm a complete greenhorn with Ubunty, currently trying to completely convert from Windows to Umbuntu.

Thanks for any hints.

PlayOnLinux is not supported here.

Open a terminal and type

Code: Select all

wine --version

If the version is not 1.6 or later, upgrade. If it is, or upgrading doesn't help, post terminal output from plain Wine (no POL). http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#get_log

Thank you for your support. I'm very sorry if I need to ask how to fullfill each recommendet task here. I tried o upgrade wine with 'apt-get upgrade' but this did not upgrade wine. So how I do this?

My version is 1.4 so I should upgrade.

hank you for your patience ;=)

This is what in the terminal apears:

fixme:winspool:SetJobW Ignoring everything other than document title
fixme:wincodecs:JpegDecoder_Frame_GetResolution (0x423a4f4,0x32d104,0x32d10c): stub

... many more of this second line

I did not yet upgraded wine, but run the application without POL, directly under wine.

Now I'm on 1.6 by the help of http://www.winehq.org/download/ubuntu

I'm starting my app in the terminal:

fixme:time:GetDynamicTimeZoneInformation (0x32f120) stub!
fixme:ole:RemUnknown_QueryInterface No interface for iid {00000019-0000-0000-c000-000000000046}

While prining:

much of

fixme:time:GetDynamicTimeZoneInformation (0x32f120) stub!

and also:

fixme:winspool:SetJobW Ignoring everything other than document title
fixme:wincodecs:JpegDecoder_Frame_CopyPalette (0x4345a2c,0x432a8e0): stub

The

fixme:time:GetDynamicTimeZoneInformation (0x32f120) stub!

does not end (with other hex values). I stoppend it with Crl-C.

The printed PDF file remains empty.

Just to make sure I've got this straight:

1. Printing to a real printer from Revolver Office works.
2. Printing to cups-pdf from Revolver Office doesn't work.
3. Printing to cups-pdf from Wine's Notepad does work.

Is that correct?

1. Printing to a real printer from Revolver Office works.

Yes, under Windows 7. But mostly PDF files are printed. I use FreePDF.

2. Printing to cups-pdf from Revolver Office doesn't work.

It produces empty pages.

3. Printing to cups-pdf from Wine's Notepad does work.

Yes.

Does printing to a real printer from Revolver Office work in Wine?

I don't know. I'm not in the office this week. I need to try it then next week.

All works fine now, thank you for your support. I received now my new notebook and therefore I installed Ubuntu and all completeley new. All worked without any problems then.
