Gtk::PrintOperation prints only first page

Desktop Ruby-Gnome 2
1

greetings,

i print the pages on Gtk::PrintOperation’s ‘draw-page’ signal, and since
i don’t know how many pages i’m going to print, i’ve n_pages set to 1
before the first page, and i increase that from ‘draw-page’ if there’s
more pages to go.

this works fine if ‘print preview’ was selected from PrintOperation’s
run, but only the first page is printed when ‘print’ is selected.
it looks like ‘draw-page’ does not get called when in print mode.

devs, please confirm this, and if so, please make ‘print’ as it is in
‘print preview’
thanks,

regards,
balint

i figured out, i’ll have to save my cairo context generated in PrintOperaion’s
paginate, and reuse it in draw-page, but i don’t know how to clone it.
i searched rcairo for a proper Cairo::Context.new, but found out that it needs
a surface first, and i got stuck there.
if anyone has any ideas how should i transfer the Cairo::Contexts from paginate
to draw-page, please help me out.

You can’t clone a Cairo::Context. You need to reuse your
drawing operations instead of Cairo::Context. I can’t have
any advice until you show us your sample script. (I hope the
sample script is as small as possible.)

Thanks,
