I haven't printed anything in a long time, but: CUPS drivers make all the difference. I used to pretty much get pathetic results using whatever was TheOfficialDriverOfTheDay for a given printer, and would get amazingly successful results using good old vanilla postscript or Generic PCL5/6 drivers. Go figure. There was a time the company went through just about every printer manufacturer in the business in 6 months trying to find a printer that actually worked (for sane values of work). In each case the official CUPS driver simply would not offer double-sided or shrink 2 pages onto 1 mode for *ANY* model. Postscript and generic PCL always worked every single time. /me baffled -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
I couldn't agree more. I think all those Linux programs have problem printing if one tries to print few pages in landscape mode on a single sheet of pager. For me this command line did the job: lpr -o media=Letter -o landscape -o number-up=4 -o number-up-layout=btlr filename -- Joseph
