 |
|
Afternoon All
I'm having trouble printing in landscape mode in a Gentoo (AMD64) installation.
The setup:
CUPS-1.7.5
CUPS-Filters-1.0.54
ghostscript-gpl-9.14
proprietary brother drivers
Printer: Brother DCP 7065dn
It will not print in landscape in any application (LO, acroread, evince etc..), instead it is printing the proper image (e.g multiple pages are ordered as i would expect them to be in this mode) but in the wrong orientation. Brlaser (an alt. driver) doesn't offer duplex printing; and the printer works fine from a windows machine. In most applications i have no option of printer language, and in the ones which I do (namely acroread) it makes no difference (as suggested in a multitude of work arounds).
This seems to be something of an ongoing problem in Linux, not just with this setup. Has anyone been able to overcome the problem? |

| That might be specific to your printer driver. Can you switch the print preview to landscape? |
