I am on openSUSE11.0 and working on a problem with Okular, if I open a pdf with Okular, the print options (margins, paper size etc are wrong. When I go to advanced options, and it prints black only). If I do a pdftops conversion then open the ps file with Okular, it prints fine, options etc are all correct.
It appears to be a QT problem. I have reported it to QT . Also see kde bug 177360. -- Russ Registered Linux User #441463 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
