Sure, and explain the justification for the change from PS as the printer standard interface, something we've had since the UNIX days, to the PDF as a standard.
?
it's probably more because pdf become a document standard by itself, so no filtering at all is necessary for new printers pdf capable...
For printers that handle pdf natively, it is ok, but for those millions out there that handle ps natively, it is not. pdf derives from ps, so translation can be probably be done without losses.
but to go back to your problem.
I just did:
select a rectangle in googlemap in spectacle and save it as png
This step degrades the picture: screen resolution is lower than printer resolution. About raw printing in LO: In LO, choose print. A dialog appears that allows to choose which printer and some things more. At the top of the printer list it says "print to file...". Just use that. Notice that LO still prints a ps calculated for the configured default printer. Then press the "Properties" button. Select "Device" tab. There is a button "Printer language type". I have "Automatic: PostScript (level from driver)". I hit print. I get an error, I ignore it, choose destination file p.ps. Finally, I open the file with "gv" for verification. Finally, I print it: lpr -l p.ps Prints just fine. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
