Problem description: 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Choose print. Enable print to file. Click OK
2. Progress bar appears. Printing is *extremely* slow.
3. No file selector dialog appears. Assume current working directory.
4. No new file appears in the current directory.

Current behavior: Does not print to file.

Expected behavior: Should print to a file.

              
Operating System: Linux (Other)
Version: 4.2.3.3 release
Comment 1 Cyril 2014-05-04 14:00:34 UTC
Bug not reproduced under Ubuntu Studio 14.04 x86_64 and LO Version: 4.2.3.3 Build ID: 420m0(Build:3), French localization.

Steps I followed:
a. Launch LO Impress
b. Enter a title and a text
c. File - Print, option tab, chose "Print to file"
d. Click "Print to file" button
e. Enter file name
f. Check that filename.pdf is created and opens correctly.

So, no problem for me with this same release.

Thanks for getting back to me. I'm running LibreOffice 4.2.3.3 under Linux
Mint. I attach the printed document and the document file. In slide sorter
and edit mode, the .eps drawing shows up. In full screen mode it does not
show up.

When printing, the .eps drawing does not show up in the file.

Also, printing is painfully slow (and this is a fast computer, with a
solid state disk), it takes about 1 minute per page.

Regards -
Peter

Should be fixed as stated in bug 62038 (will be fixed in upcomming 4.2.5).
You can use the LibreOffice PPA (https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ppa) for LibreOffice 4.2 to stay up to date.

Should be fixed also, see bug 75216 which is marked as dupe of bug 64161.

Can you please retest when 4.2.5 is released (or use an early build of it) which you can download here: http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/libreoffice-4-2/.

Maybe this is related to previous mentioned bug reports and is fixed by them?

Kind regards,
Joren

That is now working, so you can cancel this bug report. Thanks for the help.

Now, if the Canon Scanner can be made to work (subject of another bug report) , I would be a very happy camper.

Peter
