I have been trying to print CD covers using Kover. If I set Kover options to "Print all on one page", printing starts half way down the page. So it prints the front cover and the rear cover only gets half printed. If I set the options to "Print inlet and booklet", although the printer driver is set to print landscape, it prints in portrait. So most of the cover is printed off the paper. I am using SuSE8.1 with cups. I have used Kover with Libranet, without any problems. It prints perfectly. That distribution uses the lpd printing system, not cups - if that's of any help. Has anyone else tried, and successfully used, Kover with SuSE8.1? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks Keith

Have you tried to print anything else in landscape mode on Cups? THere is a known bug in cups and landscape printing. See http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/en/html/jsmeix_print-cups-landscape-81.html If the solutions there don't work you could try a new experimental version of Cups. Please read the following carefully. http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/en/html/jsmeix_print-cups-testversion-81.html I have had no problems with this version but you may not so lucky. -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------

Hello Graham. Thanks for your reply and the pointer to the SuSE database solution to the problem. I thought I was up to date with the bugs info, but obviously I wasn't. I have downloaded and installed the new CUPS-test version, and landscape printing is now working. When printing Kover all on one page, it still starts printing half way down the page. I was hoping the new CUPS would cure that problem as well. For information, I downloaded and installed the files using APT and Synaptic. I didn't delete the old files first, just left it to APT. If I have any problems with the new CUPS, I'll delete the files and install the new ones individually as it says to do in the SuSE database. Thanks again for your help. Keith

Thanks, Graham, for trying Kover. As you say, it's probably a bug somewhere. However, as it now prints on two pages, there's no problem printing a CD cover. Cheers Keith
