The document to be printed should contain pure black, that is, CMYK values C=0% M=0% Y=0% K=100%. Printing offices also require this if you have your document printed there. As far as I can see, LibreOffice produces pure black. PDF's produced by Scribus certainly comply with the standards. I've often seen documents made with Word, converted to a PDF with a third party program, that do _not_ have pure black. Don't know what the latest state of affairs w.r.t. this is though. In the case of a PDF, if it does not contain pure black, I know that the latest Adobe Acrobat can do a conversion to repair this. But of course, that is not a free program, and needs MacOSX or Windows. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

re: printer problem
I have discovered that apsfilterconfig writes three filters for my Brother HL-730 laser printer (which can simulate an HP LJIIP). In the printcap file it generates I find ascii|jet2p-letter-ascii-mono|jet2p lp|jet2p-letter-auto-mono|jet2p raw|jet2p-letter-raw|jet2p The command lpr -Praw testtest will print a simple text file written with vi. In Abiword the print instruction with lpr -Plp will print test but not dingbats but the font is wrong - font 12 prints as font 30. I have not discovered a use for the ascii filter. I pass this along for whatever its worth

Re: Printer Problem Solved..sorta..
Doing some investigation, I find the problem lies more with StarOffice 5.2 than it does with my printer configuration. I changed lpd to lprng and have configured it. ABI word prints fine, I can print from mutt, netscape, lyx, etc.. but nothing happens with StarOffice, the printer just keeps spitting out blank pages. On an email thread, I saw there were some changes that had to be made to the printcap file having to do with *levels*? but I've decided to remove StarOffice. It's so slow loading that I never use it anyhow. The problem is when I try to print from StarOffice. The printer starts but nothing is printed to the page. Anyone else have this problem or know the solution? I'm using apsfilter, lpd, and an epson stylus color 600 printer.

Re: printer problem not solved anymore
The error indicates that lpd is not running. Have you tried doing the lpr filename !after! having done as root: lpd It looks like lpd has not been started properly. I guess you could try installing lpr again. You could also try looking at the output of kmesg to see if there is a relavent (lpd related) error there. Also try: ls /etc/rc?.d | grep S[0-9]*lpd to see if lpd is being started anywhere (should get at least one 'Snlpd'). If not, reinstalling lpr should sort this out.
