Arch Linux User Repository

Struggling to get the build to work, getting the following:

/home/ben/.cache/yay/muttprint/PKGBUILD: line 25: 13329 Aborted                 (core dumped) convert -flop BabyTuX.eps BabyTuX.eps

Seems like ImageMagick is causing a core dump when flipping the eps file.

This happens on an old machine (x200), but not on a newer one. Anyone else getting this issue?

EDIT: Just a bad coincidence, works with ImageMagick 7.0.8-39 but was broken with 7.0.8-38. If you are having this error, upgrade ImageMagick.

@lenormf you can just comment out the EPS variable in the policy file at /etc/IMageMagic-7/policy.xml. Apparently, the next version of IM will fix this.

Got the following errors, during the preparation phase:

convert: attempt to perform an operation not allowed by the security policy `EPS' @ error/constitute.c/IsCoderAuthorized/408.
convert: no images defined `BabyTuX.eps' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3300. 

To work around that, I ran convert -debug configure logo: null: to find out where ImageMagick gets the user policy from, then copied the system one to there:

$ convert -debug configure logo: null:
$ mkdir ~/.config/ImageMagick
$ cp /etc/ImageMagick-7/policy.xml ~/.config/ImageMagick

There's a line in that file that prevents the convertion:

<policy domain="coder" rights="none" pattern="{PS,PS2,PS3,EPS,PDF,XPS}" />

Replace none by all, install the package, remove the ~/.config/ImageMagick directory.

@HamishTPB Have you openend a bug report upstream? I'm reluctant to patch in perpetuity...

There seems to be a typo in the default settings file /etc/Muttprintrc

PRINT_COMMAND="lpr -P$PRINTER"

should be

PRINT_COMMAND="lpr -p$PRINTER"

If you do not override the system-wide config with your own then this will bring up the error:

Press any key to continue...cat: write error: Broken pipe

The uppercase "P" is listed as paper size in the man page where lowercase "p" is the printer name.

I had the same issue. I was able to debug the problem a bit without involving mutt, by doing just "cat file | muttprint". This returned the following error:
lpr: The printer or class does not exist.

Which seems odd since the lpq command knows the printer, it returns:
"hpc_5180 is ready". And echo $PRINTER returns: "hpc_5180"

Anyway I was able to (mutt)print successfully by adding the following to my muttrc file:
set print_command="muttprint -P A4 -p $PRINTER"

(It seems that it should also be possible to set the printer via a muttprintrc file. See the muttprint manual page.)

I have set muttprint in my muttrc but I get the following error:

Press any key to continue...cat: write error: Broken pipe

@dtbaumann - thanks: added your patch

Hi, it seems that the settings for duplex printing are mixed up. For papersave mode (two pages on one landscape sheet) the binding is short edge and vice versa.
