Re: [suse-linux-uk-schools] client printer drivers for cups
I have just installed Debian woody on one of my desktops and after installed a 2.4.18 kernel and doing a dist-upgrade to sid have thought about installing a printer. I have downloaded and installed the free version of turboprint [www.turboprint.de] which got my new Canon i550 running and even did the print head calibrations; but, .... printing is still typically linux-cr*p :( with fonts being displayed on the screen but not on the sheet and the printed page being a little too big for the paper page. I would be grateful if anyone has any suggestions on what I need to do re: fonts, printer config, etc to get to the happily ever after bit. Yours, Nigel On Sun, 13 Apr, Rob Keeling wrote:
I have set up a cups print server using SuSE 8.1 which seems to work really well from our Win 2K clients, but from our Windows 95/98 clients I can`to print colour!
The problem is that I am using the Adobe postscript drivers, the win 98/95 version does not seem to generate the right sort of postscript with colour photos etc.
Which printer drivers are other people using on older machines?
I don`t want to use raw print queues as I want to use print quotas.
