Under SuSE 8.1, I have an Epson C82 running the C80 stp driver. If I tell the printer to print landscape, it doesn't turn the text 180 degrees as I would expect, it formats the page as if it expects me to turn the paper 180 degrees and feed it that way. This was under both Konqueror and KMail. Is there a way to get the landscape behavior that I'm expecting? tia ---Michael -- Penguins eat butterflies, don't they?

Check out this, it solved my problem on an Hp deskjet: http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/jsmeix_print-cups-landscape-81.html and install the update they recommend. -- use Perl; #powerful programmable prestidigitation
Hi, I had a similar problem with Solaris and HP 4100 printer. I was using enscript to try and access other trays, landscape, fonts, etc. Nothing worked. Turned out that enscript is generally installed to print to postscript level 1. Using the --ps-level=2 option solved this for me. Actually there is an enscript.conf file that has the default coded in it. Changing the level there should work but I did not have permission to make the fix. Anyway, I am not that familar with cups but I would not be surprised if it was using enscript as a filter for some features. Anyway, I hope this helps someone else as I saw that the update did fix your problem. Abraham Michael Satterwhite wrote:

There is a "/etc/enscript.cfg" with the line: PostScriptLevel: 2 Funnily, the info page of enscript is empty, only man works (suse 8.1). -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
