Hi all, I have had some printing problems lately, and it is not perfectly clear to me (or to Hans, we have discussed this a bit) whether it is the printer that has a lack of memory or if the pdf files are somehow corrupted. It might have to do with type3 fonts. I attach a pdf file that does not print on our printer at work. Or well, it prints almost all of the page, but stops at the word "negativa" (or was it "egenvärden", I do not have the printout here right now). Then the printer also prints an error report about some "offending command". So, a request: If you have an easy access to a printer, can you print this page and report back if all of it comes out, or what is happening? Thanks /Mikael
Prints fine on a LaserJet Pro M501 from Preview.app.

Hello Mikael, As asked, I printed the page on a HP Officejet Pro 7740 as well in draft- as in high-quality mode. The print-out looks ok in both cases, there is all text and no errors. Kind regards Willi

Sent from my phone to a HP Color LaserJet MFP M283 printer. Perfect print. Keith McKay On Thu, 16 Mar 2023, 11:51 Mikael Sundqvist via ntg-context, < ntg-context@ntg.nl> wrote:

Kyocera FS-C5100DN, * Apple Preview: ok * Adobe Acrobat Pro 9: doesn’t print, no error * Adobe Acrobat Reader DC: PostScript Error (after "poäng") * Qoppa PDF Studio 2019: ok * Skim: ok * Firefox (pdf.js): ok (prints as lowres image, as usual) * Foxit PDF Reader 11: ok Looks like it might be a problem with Adobe’s PS/PDF library.

I was able to print Mikael's PDF without any problem. I used a HP Laser Jet Pro MFP M276W....BUT I should note that I also used the PostScript driver available from HP's Linux-specific web pages: https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing/ Michael On 2023-03-16 04:49, Mikael Sundqvist via ntg-context wrote:

Hi Mikael, a friend printed the file on a Canon 4235i (from Windows 10 with Acrobat Reader DC), there were no printing problems and the result is high-quality output (as I would expect from many ConTeXt-generated documents). Just in case it might help, Pablo

Thanks to all who tested. In the end I was not able to reproduce the problem when printing from another computer that runs linux. I can only reproduce when printing from the built-in pdf viewer in Chrome OS. It only seems to happen when extensibles are "converted" into type3 snippets (so that one can copy a big parentheses that has pieces and get the correct unicode character, for example). This can be disabled with \disabledirectives[math.extensibles] and I can use that when printing from this computer. I should probably report somehow to Google, but that seems less clear how to do, if possible. Thanks again! /Mikael
