Hi list, I`ve finished my "masterpiece" - an event magazin from the "JugendMedienCamp 2004" with Scribus. Since I have a laser printer here for some weeks, I wanted to do a test print of the document until it is printed 300 times in a printers office. Therefore I printed it with kprinter from acroread. It`s fine, but I have a kind of logo with transparency over a background photo. Unfortuntaly the transparent background of the logo is not 100% invisible at the print (but it is on the screen - and in Scribus set to BG-colour "none"). Then checked it with WinXP / AcrobatReader 6 and the original driver for my Brother HL 5140 and there everything is fine. Is this because of missing features in the linux printer driver (I use the CUPS printing system) or can this be solved somehow for Linux? The gradients from light gray th transparent do not look fluent too - you can see "steps" from one gray to another.
I would test it with WinXP, but I wasn`t able to set the print format up correctly: I have a little smaller format then A5 in landscape and want to print it with two pages per A4 page. The Windows printing dialogue from Acrobat / Brother always scales the pages down and I don`t know why. I have disabled all scaling features and enabled the 2 per 1 option. With Linux this works fine - landscape is set. Maybe somebody has some tipps for this Windows-Prob ;-) Thanks again and again for the cool app! Sebastian
