192561 - [ps] Printing busted on OpenVMS

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

Description

[Colin Blake]

Printing isn't working on OpenVMS in 1.3.

After issuing a print for what should be a one-page printout, two files are
created in my scratch area: MOZ_P00021A_1402576 and MOZ_T00021A_1402576. The
first file appears to be the postscript prolog and the second file contains page
one. MOZ_P00021A_1402576 gets sent to the printer but nothing actually prints.

It looks like the contents of MOZ_T00021A_1402576 need to be inserted just after
the %%EndProlog in MOZ_P00021A_1402576, before its sent to the printer. But this
isn't happening.

The recent changes in this code actually meant I was able to remove some of the
VMS hackery. The VMS change in this code now is that we have to use a temporary
file instead of a pipe when printing.

I'd like to get this in asap. I'm only changing code inside of VMS ifdefs.

Nit: Please change |#endif| to |#endif /* VMS */| if possible... :)

Then someone needs to change the default owner, I guess :-)

I've add the /* VMS */ to the #endif directives. Thanks for the r=, now who can
I ask for the sr?

All superreviewers can do that - choose your victim... (hint: scc seems to have
a short request queue:

sr=dveditz, adding to the 1.3 approval queue, it'd be nice to have the ports
working.
