Hello all, I witnessed some unexpected printing behavior recently. I can't really understand why these results happen, but I solved my specific problems.
I'm running KDE 3.5.10, so this might not apply to 4.x (though I'd be interested if someone could test it!). I usually use a2ps to print things, since for most text files and graphics I prefer the smaller size. At some point, I must have changed the printer configuration in KEdit to "Landscape," and this confused a2ps about the orientation of the page for text file printing. After killing probably half a tropical rainforest and rebuilding many packages, I saved the configuration change in KEdit printing to Portrait, and then everything was just fine. These results are also applied even on a console-login and a2ps, although the KEdit print settings are at least user-specific. Is it really correct for a program like KEdit to have control over *all* text file printer settings? (I know it's just text file settings because a2ps was working fine for other file formats.) What configuration files is it actually changing? Regards, daid
