[opensuse] command line printing question
Hello: I have a pdf file which is A5 paper size in landscape mode. When I open it in a pdf viewer (acroread, kdpf, okular) it is shown in landscape mode. pdfinfo shows: Producer: GPL Ghostscript 9.15 CreationDate: Wed Apr 8 23:20:35 2020 ModDate: Wed Apr 8 23:20:35 2020 Tagged: no Pages: 1 Encrypted: no Page size: 596 x 421 pts (A5) File size: 43191 bytes Optimized: no PDF version: 1.5 I would like to print this file, using lp or lpr command, onto the upper half of a portrait A4 paper, that is the A5 file is placed in landscape mode on a portrait A5 paper's upper half. Whatever I try, the document is always printed A5 portrait mode on the A4 paper with the document's lower edge close to the bottom of the A4 paper. I tried these commands, and all gives exactly the same result: lpr -P printer -o media=a4 file.pdf lpr -P printer -o media=a5 -o orientation-requested=4 file.pdf lpr -P printer -o media=a4 -o orientation-requested=4 file.pdf lpr -P printer -o media=a5 file.pdf lp -d printer -o media=a4 -o orientation-requested=4 file.pdf lp -d printer -o media=a5 -o orientation-requested=4 file.pdf lp -d printer -o media=a5 -o landscape file.pdf I'm afraid it's something trivial I'm missing. When I print the file from Okular: - setting paper size A4 portrait: the file is printed in landscape mode to the center of the A4 page (no to the upper half) - setting paper size A4 landscape: the file is printed in landscape mode relative to the A4 page and is scaled up to fit the A4 page - setting paper size A5 landscape: the file is printed in portrait mode (rotated 90 degrees to the left) and is scaled down - setting paper size A5 portrait: the file is printed in landscape mode to the center of the A4 page and is scaled down.

I have /etc/printcap.

Naker, and product's name.

Perhaps, your cups-filters's version is 1.8.2.
Yes I have cups-filters-1.8.2-1.5.
Upgrading it will solve your issue. To do so, You have to download the latest one, and compile it.
I guess you meant upgrading cups-filters only, not the whole cups system. I tried to build the latest cups-filters 1.27.4 but could not because it requires qpdf-devel >= 8.1.3 and I have libqpdf / qpdf-devel 5.1.3 version only. The latest cups-filters I could build was cups-filters-1.20.4. It did not change the printout. What is exactly wrong with cups-filters? There is one more interesting thing. If I print the document from Acrobat Reader (acroread 9.5.5) and select A4 paper size portrai mode, the printout is correct. I have the page on the upper part of the A4 paper. The printer command shown in acroread's print/properties window is: lpr -P kyocera -o Option8=False -o Option18=None -o InstalledMemory=32MB -o Resolution=600dpi -o KCEcoprint=Off -o Smoothing=Medium -o PagePolicy=On -o PageSize=A4 -o PageRegion=A4 -o InputSlot=Internal -o MediaType=PrnDef -o Duplex=None -o KCCollate=PrnDef -o KCVersion=Default If I use the same command in a terminal window, the printout is not correct. It is printed 90 degrees rotated (A5 page in portrait mode but the text is in landscape mode on an A4 paper). Why? Unfortunately I have to do the printing from a script, I can't use acroread in this case.
Or, upgrading openSUSE itself is the solution, too.
It is not an option at the moment on this computer. One more question: What would be the correct lpr or lp command if cups worked correctly? Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

OK. But, could you give me the answer for my question;
I did. Didn't you see it? Yes, it is a postscript printer. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)

The origin of your issuses is the 'Kyocra FS-1030D is a postscript printer'.
Ok, how about this;
YaST2 --> hardware --> printer
Then delete the Kyocera's settings, and add a new printer;
Generic Postscript Printer Foomatic/Postscript
After this, test with the lpr command, again.
Unfortunately this did not work either. I tried only with cups-filters 1.8.2. I also have tried different ppds and none worked. Is it possible maybe to make a custom filter somehow? I would upgrade to Leap 15.1 if I could use adobe reader (acroread) in it. I need it's print window and print options. I could install adobe reader in 15.1 and make it usable by following the instructions here: Adobe Reader https://gist.github.com/cho2/79964a49a4f5f545853d3ebdfd1efe73 The program can open pdf files and works OK but it's printer window can't see the printers. It only shows "custom printer". In my understanding it is because 15.1 has cups 2.x and adobe reader needs cups libs 1.x. See my comment at the end of the above link. Would it be possible to put libcups from cups 1.x somewhere and instruct acroread to use it? But I guess libcups from cups 1.x would need a running cups 1.x server as well to work with. ?

This printer is factory-set to emulate the PCL. So, try to select the driver with the key word PCL (5 or 6) via YaST2.
This does not work either. The printout is is rotated by 90 degrees. I mentioned that I can get a correct print output from adobe reader. Is it possible to set (mimic) acroread application on the printer command line? Or maybe changing the rule/filter setting so that the print would go through the same chain as the data from adobe reader?

Hello,
Sorry for getting back so late. Because I had to find solution I decided to convert the pdf files to A4 size (put the a5 landscape to upper part of a4 portrait) and print the a4 size. This works for printing at the moment. I thought I would report back earlier but did not have time to test you last suggestion.
Please ignore previous mails.
Anyway, I might find out the solution.
1. install gutenprint (5.2.10).
2. via YaST2, search the printer with the keywourd 1030D (or 1030d)
3. install
Kyocera FS-1030D - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.10pre1
then,
4. test print
If this is your solution, please show me the result of
Now I had time to test this. It doesn't work either. The print is upscaled to a4 and printed as a4 landscape independently whether I use -o media=a5 option or not. I guess I don't want to spend more time on this at the moment. Thank you very much for your help. Carlos, thank you too for your suggestions as well. I didn't have time to answer directly but I tried them (specifying page size directly) but it gave the same incorrect results as -o media=a5. Thank you all once more!

Ok! ...

Oh. I thought I had also suggested something similar to what you say in the first paragraph :-? (maybe your printer detects the actual paper size :-?) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)

Hello:
I have a pdf file which is A5 paper size in landscape mode. When I open it in a pdf viewer (acroread, kdpf, okular) it is shown in landscape mode.

I would like to print this file, using lp or lpr command, onto the upper half of a portrait A4 paper, that is the A5 file is placed in landscape mode on a portrait A5 paper's upper half.
Whatever I try, the document is always printed A5 portrait mode on the A4 paper with the document's lower edge close to the bottom of the A4 paper.
I assume the document is one page only? Have you tried on another computer and/or printer? Perhaps add another page to the document, then use a concoction to print 2 pages on one sheet.
I tried these commands, and all gives exactly the same result:
lpr -P printer -o media=a4 file.pdf lpr -P printer -o media=a5 -o orientation-requested=4 file.pdf lpr -P printer -o media=a4 -o orientation-requested=4 file.pdf lpr -P printer -o media=a5 file.pdf lp -d printer -o media=a4 -o orientation-requested=4 file.pdf lp -d printer -o media=a5 -o orientation-requested=4 file.pdf lp -d printer -o media=a5 -o landscape file.pdf
Perhaps: lpr -P printer -o media=a4 -o landscape file.pdf I got good results when printing envelopes with this concoction: lpr -P cp1510n_ps -o PageSize=Custom.340x493 \ -o InputSlot=Tray1_Man envelope.pdf Of course, in your case we have to find first the a5 size in points. 148 x 210 mm 5,8 x 8,3 inches. cer@Telcontar:~> units 148mm pspoint * 419.52756 / 0.0023836336 cer@Telcontar:~> units 210mm pspoint * 595.27559 / 0.0016798942 cer@Telcontar:~> So it might be something like: lpr -P printer -o PageSize=Custom.596x419 file.pdf if not try reverse the sizes (I'm not clear on that).

With which printer and cups, did you get the above result?
Is it a POSTSCRIPT printer?
Yes, it is. A Hewlet Pacard CP1515n -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)
