[SLE] Cups stuck on A4 with 10.1
Okay 10.0 had a love of A4 but I was able to get it to print. 10.1 really seems to LOVE A4 paper. No matter how I change things it refuses to print and when I check the settings in the cups print manager it's back to A4 not US letter. I've restarted the server. I've recreated printers queues.I've tried not using the test and sending a test to the printer. I've stood on my head. Other then printing 10.1 seems great. Much faster on my system then 10.0 Thanks Nick -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

You need to also recite your national anthem backwards at the same time. Then go into KDE Control Center-->Regional & Accessibility--> Country/Region & Language--> Other Tab, then set the default paper size. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

That was a lot easier when I had a turntable. Could play anything backward.

Still won't print. Might need that turntable -( Nick -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

How many reams do you need shipping ? :) Why not set your margins width down to as low as possible A4 is 1/4 " less, and increase the top and bottom margin by 3/8" Letter size 8 1/2 x 11 A4 size 8 1/4 x 11 3/4 just an idea to get round it Richard -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

Didn't fix it but pointed out "Unable to open parallel port device file "/dev/lp0": Permission denied" Permissions on lp0 are rw-r--r root root Which seem wrong to me.

Those port prmissions definitely seem out to lunch; in 9.3, they are: crw-rw---- root lp and CUPS runs uid lp. -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
