Hi Guys,
I can't seem to win for losing on this one. Does anyone out there
have a no-problems printing solution when it comes to printing from the
web? I have three web browsers to choose from, and all of them have
their own unique problems.. Here's the skinny, and perhaps someone can
say, "Hey, I know how to make browser ___ stop doing ____"..
NB: In the following descriptions, I use the word "image" to mean the
logical print layout, and not to mean a graphic image file.
Opera - Used for 99% of browsing.
Opera's printing problem: Scaling.
At 100%, the image is too large for the page. Lower scaling factors
appear to be applied twice; 80% appears to first shrink the page layout
to where it fits the page, then shrinks the entire page image to where
the printed page image takes only 80% of the paper.
Galeon - System default browser
Galeon's printing problem: Landscape
Galeon lays out the printed page correctly without the scaling problem
that Opera exhibits. However, Galeon's landscape option results in the
page image turning landscape, but still being laid on the paper in
portrait orientation (as if you printed a landscape page and viewed it
through a portrait orientation window).
Mozilla - Almost never used.
Moz's printing problem: No Landscape option whatsoever.
None of these weirdnesses appear to be printer-related; each manifests
exactly the same way regardless of what printer I use, or if I print to
a file. CUPS is my backend.
Anyone have any suggestions to fix any of the aforementioned problems?
Or suggestions of other browsers to try?
Thanks a bunch; see some of you tomorrow.
~Brian
