Landscape printing problem
System info:
------------------- ZOO -------------------------------
tom@zoo:~$ okular --version
Qt: 4.6.3
KDE Development Platform: 4.4.5 (KDE 4.4.5)
Okular: 0.10.5
cups: 1.4.4-7
------------------- MOMS -------------------------------
tom@moms:~$ okular --version
Qt: 4.6.3
KDE Development Platform: 4.4.5 (KDE 4.4.5)
Okular: 0.10.5
cups:Version: 1.4.4-7
--------------------------------------------------------
I have one PDF that prints incorrectly:
zoo -> moms: prints as landscape
printing the same file directly from moms does it correctly.
The problem seems to be a difference between local and remote
printing, for which i already found a bug in the MFC240C brother
driver. CUPS behaves differently: print job provided on stdin of the
driver, or as a file.
SOLUTION: Using LPD fixes it.
Over-generalizing conclusion: don't trust vendor-supplied CUPS drivers
for remote printing!
