Again, Carlos, you are fixating on the fact that the package aren't under maintenance rather than solving the problem. The package doesn't instantly bit rot like yesterdays fish just because it is not under maintenance.
Indeed. And I'd point out that "it didn't used to do this" but along the way other things have been updated as well. Notably CUPS. I mentioned that Foxit prints properly Well Foxit hasn't been updated for Linux in a long, long while. Its as if they don't care ...

Anton has been around long enough to have earned your respect for knowing what he is doing.
And failing that I have a 20-sided dice ...
Anton can define a raw printer in cups and pass the PDF straight through.
That might be useful in other ways as the printer can handle raw postscript and raw PCL :-) In fact it can probably work better 'raw'. The real issue then becomes how much has recent changes buqqured that up?
The most likely point of failure is cups because Apple has gutted it. Many many PPDs are corrupt in recent versions of cups that worked perfectly in older versions of OS.
AH! Are you suggesting I should try rolling back to an earlier version of CUPS and locking that in place? -- /"\ \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML Mail / \ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
