Right now, I can't provide any more information about the printing problems. Technically, I'm not the desktop support person. She just said a lot ofthe time people can't print their bdf docs and asked if there was another pdf program they could use. With something like printing, it's hard to tell where desktop support endds and server admin begins. I set up the print server, installed linux and cups on it but our desktop support erson configured the print queues. I don't know too much about that stuff. But it occurs to me that if I understand linux printing correctly, the print server is responsible for formatting documents before sending them off to the printer. So this would be a cups problem, not an evince problem. Is that right?<div><div class="h5"><br>

I've not had any printing issues using evince. I did install the entire<br>
liberation font set as it is the standard set that is not embedded in PDF<br>
documents.<br>
<br>
Can you relay further details about the printing issues?<br>

I have a bit of a support problem. My end users are complaining about<br>
having to use evince for pdf files. They can't print half the time. I<br>
happen to be blind and the linux screen reader (orca) doesn't work well<br>
with any pdf viewer I've found. Besides, I can't see what comes out on the<br>
printer. Is evince the best pdf program out there for linux? I was thinking<br>
I'd just install everything and let the end-users choose. Any suggestions<br>
as to what else I should try?<br>
