Which is obviously absurd, there is … [View More]

When I ask a page (or pages) to print, I get a dialog asking which printer. The printers do not come up with names in the sequences you show, and I had no luck changing the defaults for the Epson, altho the information that is provided shows what's wrong. here's the sequence at my place: doug@linux1:~> lpstat -a epson accepting requests since Fri 29 Jan 2021 04:03:31 PM EST HP_LaserJet_Pro_M201dw accepting requests since Fri 29 Jan 2021 06:43:20 PM EST HP_LaserJet_Pro_M201dw_34CF8A_ accepting requests since Fri 29 Jan 2021 04:12:05 PM EST doug@linux1:~> lpstat -d no system default destination doug@linux1:~> lpoptions -l PageSize/Paper Size: *Letter Legal A4 4X6FULL 2L 8x10 <<<here's the problem MediaType/Media Type: *PLAIN_NORMAL PMMATT_NORMAL PMPHOTO_NORMAL PLATINA_NORMAL GLOSSYPHOTO_NORMAL Duplex/Auto Duplex Printing - Binding Edge: *None DuplexTumble DuplexNoTumble <<<probably should state binding edge?

printer paper size
by Doug McGarrett 03 Feb '21

03 Feb '21

My Epson printer will try to print on a European size instead of letter with source material that does not explicitly specify to use letter (8.5 x 11 inches). The LaserJet is OK with the US size. Where and how should I change the default size for the Epson printer, please? --doug

Line-In/Mic handling Desktop/Laptop
by Ben T. Fender 03 Feb '21

If I boot Leap-15.1 on my destktop with the guitar already plugged into the mic jack I hear a click as soon as the boot begins and can play before the log-in dialog even appears. Doing the same thing on my Asus-g73 I will NOT hear the guitar until I launch Audacity and launch a recording session. Same OS, same update, the desktop has a Xonar card the g73 the built-in one, both with a line-in jack. https://paste.opensuse.org/58437397 ignore the hopeless TW side of the snaps how come the difference?
