problems with printing: fop-0.91
I have tried printing several of the examples given and so far have been
unable to get anything to print out correctly. The specific example fo
files that I have tried are:
./examples/embedding/xml/fo/helloworld.fo (a blank page gets printed)
./examples/embedding/xml/xml/projectteam.xml (the title, and the first
have of the left column gets cup off)
./examples/fo/basic/pdfoutline.fo (last 8 to 9 lines of each page do not
get printed though seems)
I tried a few others and they had similar problems. I tried both going
directly to a printer and also to the program PDFCreator (acts as a
printer driver) and got exactly the same results. Though, if I generate
a PDF from the fo files and print it from Acrobat then it prints out
just fine (also tried printing a PDF file generated from a fo using
PDFBox but had no such luck). Also, when viewing any of the files using
the ExampleAWTViewer they all look fine just when I go to print to
either a printer or the PDFCreator do I see issues. I am currently
using windows XP and am using JDK 1.5.0_05. Any ideas or suggestions on
how I can print and get something to print correctly? Is anyone else
seeing these issues?
Thanks,
Tim.

Posted by Manuel Mall <ma...@apache.org>.
Tim,
you didn't say which renderer (output format) you used for your attempts
at printing. If you used PCL that renderer is non functional in the FOP
0.91 release (that's why it is in the sandbox area). See also
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/status.html.
Your best option is probably to go via PDF and print the PDF file.
Actually the very best option is if you could find the time to fix the PCL
renderer :-).
