Hi, I mean to print two pages side by side. The problem is if I print two pages side by side the printer hangs - with libreoffice only. Not with evince (gnome pdf viewer) for example. If I switch the "printer language" from pdf to ps everything works fine... But I don't want to do it for every job - and by the way: can ps send fonts to the printer? Does libreoffice send fonts to the printer if the "printer language" is set to pdf?
