I am trying to print a document in
Landscape mode, but it prints
rotated and cropped.
Most Unix applications that offer a Landscape
orientation option in their printing options will
generate correct PostScript code that should be
printed as is. In that case, you need to make sure
that you leave the LLPR option set to its default
Portrait setting, to avoid unwanted rotations of the
page that would result in cropped output.
I can't make a printer
the system default.
In some conditions, it may not be possible to change
the default queue. This happens with some variants
of LPRng, especially on recent RedHat systems that
use the "printconf" database of queues.
When using printconf, the /etc./printcap file is
automatically refreshed from the database of printers
managed by the system (usually through the
"printtool" command), and the queues in /etc./
printcap.local are appended to the resulting file. The
default queue in LPRng is defined as the first queue
in /etc./printcap, and therefore it is not possible for
the Linux Printer Package to change the default when
some queues have otherwise been defined using
printtool.
LPD systems identify the default queue as the one
named "lp". Thus, if there is already a queue by this
name, and if it doesn't have an alias, then you won't
be able to change the default. To work around this,
you can either delete the queue or rename it by
manually editing the /etc./printcap file.
The N-up setting
does not work correctly for some of my
documents.
The N-up feature is achieved through post-
processing of the PostScript data that is sent to the
printing system. However, such post-processing can
only be adequately achieved if the PostScript data
conforms to the Adobe Document Structing
Conventions. Problems may arise when using N-up
and other features that rely on post-processing if the
document being printed isn't compliant.
I am using BSD lpr
(Slackware, Debian, older
distributions) and some options chosen
in LLPR don't seem to
take effect.
Legacy BSD lpr systems have a hard limitation on
the length of the option string that can be passed to
the printing system. As such, if you selected a
number of different options, you may have exceeded
the length of the options and some of your choices
won't be passed to the programs
responsible for implementing them. Try to select
fewer options that deviate from the defaults, to save
on memory usage.
