Further investigation reveals that support for my particular model has fallen into some sort of limbo. One version of Ghostscript has it, another one doesn't. This site says this, that site says that. The manufacturer supports the printer with a package that actually installs correctly, but it requires switching to LPR, and I don't know a damn thing about LPR. It looks like I'm SOL until I wade through a big mess, but the up side is that the printer I was looking at for that other guy has a factory LPR and CUPS-wrapper driver available, so I can hopefully get it working easily. This thing is going to need a new drum sooner, rather than later, and a new drum is more than 2/3 of the cost of a new printer, so I might just go buy a damn Postscript-capable printer and get it over with. Give this one to the kids for printing papers, which it does fine if you watch the margins. Like I said, it always has had some addressable space problem, and anything that pushes the image on page to precise limits suffers from minor alignment problems. This from a printer LinuxPrinting.org rates as "works perfectly" with the driver I'm currently using. What's a man to do? It's not likely Rosegarden's fault though, and I'll let you know if things are still screwed up after I buy the PostScript-capable printer and follow the published instructions for telling CUPS to use the factory-supplied PPD. (A little money in your pocket is a dangerous thing. If I keep taking this approach to problems, I'm going to be broke again very soon.) -- Michael McIntyre ---- Silvan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linux fanatic, and certified Geek; registered Linux user #243621 http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Rue/5407/ http://rosegarden.sourceforge.net/tutorial/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Power Architecture Resource Center: Free content, downloads, discussions, and more. http://solutions.newsforge.com/ibmarch.tmpl _______________________________________________ Rosegarden-devel mailing list [email protected] - use the link below to unsubscribe https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rosegarden-devel
