All was going well until it came to printing... I'm on 64bit ArchLinux (multilib installed) with KDE 4.6 as Destop Environment and REALStudio 2010r5.1. There seem to be some 'oddnesses'. I designed a Report according to the examples and tried to print it. My local laser (Brother MFC9420CN) won't print at all, but that seems to be a buggy driver which won't work from gnome apps. Had the same thing with openoffice some time ago. While they seemed to have worked around it by now, RB obviously has not. So I tried my virtual pdf printer installed in CUPS. The Report prints. But it seems to print at very low dpi and therefore looks very ugly. I tried to set maxHorizontalResolution and MaxVerticalResolution to 300, even 600 but it seems to be completely ignored. As far as I understand there have been some some bugs in the linux printing area. The docs even say that some things don't exist in linux. That seems to be outdated by now as I can display the PrinterSetup. http://docs.realsoftware.com/index.php/PrinterSetup But I need some hints. How do you linux guys manage your printouts?
