The underlying reason is the switch from PostScript to PDF as the standard print job format in various applications, compare bnc#732442 ("Applications using Qt produce PDF for printing which can fail on PostScript printers"). This change is advocated by the OpenPrinting workgroup of the Linux Foundation and the CUPS author, see http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting See also "PDF: The future common printing format" at http://en.opensuse.org/Concepts_printing For my personal opinion see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=732442#c5 I think the real problem is when applications cannot be switched back from PDF to PostScript as standard print job format ("standard" means what the application produces by default). In the above mentioned mail http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-de/2012-02/msg00166.html there is (German only): -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "spadmin, qms -> Eigenschaften -> Gerät" von LibO geführt. Dort war als Druckersprache PDF eingestellt. Nach dem ich das auf Post Script Level 2 geändert habe, hatte ich mit LibO keinerlei Probleme mehr. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Perhaps one can switch LibreOffice permanently back to PostScript as standard print job format via "spadmin, qms -> Eigenschaften -> Gerät" (I didn't test it because I am not a LibreOffice user). Johannes Obermayr, does this work for you to switch LibreOffice permanently back to PostScript as standard print job format? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Samsung CLX-3175FW via USB http://de.samsung.com/de/Geschaeftskunden/businessbuero/businessprinter/farb...

Please tell which printer driver you use. http://foo2qpdl.rkkda.com/

There should be at least a checkbox in File -> Printer Settings... -> Properties... -> Device -> Printer Language type: PDF -> PostScript (Level from device) [X] Use by default Then it is easy to configure ... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
