Since installing Debian, I've had some issues

the resulting printout doesn't look exactly like the PDF. This could be
due to the fonts installed with Debian, where they are possibly not the
same or ideal fonts for PDF's.
In addition to KPDF (which installed with TDE), I tried:
* KGhostView
* evince
* qpdfview
* Okular
* GIMP
* LibreOffice Draw
* Firefox
None of these printed the PDF as expected.
I haven't tested printing PDF from TDE yet. Whenever I had trouble in the
past with PDF (both viewing and printing) I needed to install the MS
truetype fonts. In openSUSE there is a package for that:
fetchmsttfonts | Helper package to run the fetchmsttfonts script
So I will be uninstalling all of the above, except for
KPDF (so as not
to cause any potential issues with TDE), LibreOffice Draw and Firefox.
Why do you think they may cause an issue with TDE? I have tons of programs
installed from outside TDE including from other desktop environments. I
believe it is the advantage in Linux that everything is modular and you
can have different things running or installed at the same time (unless
there are file conflicts, but the installer at least in openSUSE warns you
about it).

I also have both the Vivaldi (stable and Snapshot) and
Chromium web
browsers installed. Chromium does not offer an option to open a file.
Vivaldi does and in its print dialog, there is an option 'Print as
image'. I selected this and the PDF printed perfectly.
