Bug#602384: evince: cannot print when /tmp space cannot take the whole document

[Michal Suchanek]

Package: evince
Version: 2.30.3-1
Severity: important


Does evince printing require that /tmp has enough space to hold the
largest possible document times the number of concurrent users?

PDF files can easily be hundreds of megabytes large and it is ieasy to
run out of /tmp space.

This is especially ridiculous when printing to file which does not
require spooling the file by the system or anything like that.
