Ubuntu :: Printing With Exact Size Photos And With Poor Auto Colour Printing But The Situation Remains Unchanged

May 31, 2010

I expected more from ubuntu 10.4 with regards to printing with exact size photos and with poor auto colour printing but the situation remains unchanged! for instance .. the photo size configurations for ubuntu/fspot/gimp and others are not compatible with my printers (HP and Brother) .. here in Europe a typical standard size photo (10x15inches or 150x100mm are not even on the Ubuntu listing? I have tried all listed possibilities including "custom" (which does not seem to ever work correctly?)and the result at best is photos with uneven boarders or at worse my printer goes a bit crazy with much wasted photo paper and expensive ink ...even photos selected for "no boarders" still produces photos with the self same uneven boarders.

I have tried pretty much everything over time following advice in this forum and including using HPlip and updating drivers required for my Brother printer but the root problem seemingly lies with the Ubunto photo size setup listing. Working with Ubuntu over the years I have found that it can do pretty much everything that Windows can do except for this dam ongoing photo quality and configuration problem.

Ubuntu Installation :: Lucid Printing Pale Yellow Background Colour On All Firefox Printouts?

May 24, 2010

Since upgrading to Lucid on two different PCs - one clean install and one upgrade I am experiencing a strange problem when printing from Firefox.Every printout from Firefox has a very pale yellow background on the whole print area.If I print to a pdf file rather than directly to the printer, then print the pdf file the problem does not occur.If I print to a postscript file, then print that the problem is present.No other applications I have tested have this problem (open office, gedit, google chrome)The printer is an HP Business Jet 2200 and I have tried all four offered drivers.

Fedora Hardware :: KDE 12 Printing Page Size Defaults To A4

Jan 27, 2010

I have set everything in my printer settings to "US Letter" both via system-config-printer, and in the localization settings for KDE "System Settings". However everytime I attempt to print the printer will say that it's A4 and asks to load paper. I have searched everywhere for this default and I cannot find it in KDE. While in Gnome, all works as expected with printing (even when printing from KDE applications). Does anyone know how to change the default from A4 to US Letter?

Ubuntu :: Make A File Of An Exact Size For Disk Benchmarking?

Dec 6, 2010

Is their a command I could use to do this? It needs to be 32MB (33,554,432 bytes), can be either random data or just a blank file, though random data would be preferable, and well... that's it.

Though also, is their a way I could copy the file in a terminal and it print out the info such as average speed and/or total time it took to complete. I'm trying to fight some bad reviews on this flash drive I bought that performs very well, and since stupid comment vs stupid comment doesn't win anything I need to apparently be the first to actually test this drive throughly.

Ubuntu :: Printing Using LP Or LPR?

Mar 15, 2011

I have a label printer connected to a windows machine and its shared. And other windows machines can print to this label printer. But I need to be able to print to it from the linux box using lp or lpr. I have been following this article on how to get the labels printing, but I am unable to have any luck whatsoever.

Here is where I am at:
bennett@ezyvet:~$ smbclient -L AECRECEPTION -U administrator
Enter administrator's password:
Domain=[VSG] OS=[Windows 7 Professional 7600] Server=[Windows 7 Professional 6.1] .....

I also have done this:
bennett@ezyvet:~$ sudo lpadmin -p AECLABEL -h 192.168.58.116 -i smb://AECRECEPTION/AECLABEL -P /home/bennett/drivers/zebra2844/zebra4.ppd
lpadmin: Unable to connect to server: Connection refused

The firewall on the windows machine has turned off. I can see 2 printers, cups cant find any more printers. It just says its searching for eternity. I believe the only reason why the 2 printers show up in cups is because they are network printers?

Ubuntu :: Can't Imagine Why Printing Is So Off?

May 2, 2010

I was running Ubuntu Karmic Koala in a Dell Optiplex 8200. I wasn't having any problems, but it was running a bit slow. To fix this, I loaded a new graphics card and loaded Lubuntu so I could use LXDE. LXDE worked fine, but the associations on PC Manager were broken, so I switched back to Gnome. Ever since then, I've had a few problems.

1) The desktop image is black and all the icons that should be there are gone. If I browse to the Desktop via terminal (or Nautilus) everything is still there. If I view the desktop setting via the desktop setting control, it's set there, too. However, when I shut down/log out, I briefly see the desktop I set, before all goes black.

2) Printing is now VERY slow. It takes about minutes per page. I assume there's some file I have to either edit or delete to restore the desktop appearance, but I can't imagine why printing is so off.

PS - I was going to add tags, but I can't seem to type any in - weird.

Ubuntu :: Printing GUI Not Working?

Aug 11, 2011

I am hopping to get some help with a printing application problem. When I go to System>Administration>Printing, I get nothing. I have found several possible solutions, but these did not work for me.

First, from Ubuntu Bugs, following the [URL]... But Bug 210738, file 04/02/2008, doesn't fix my issue. I did getting the following results by running 'system-config-printer' in a terminal:

tim@dell-desktop:~$ system-config-printer
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py", line 104, in <module>

[Code]....

but this did not fix it either, At this point I ought to mention that I can print to my existing printers, but I wanted to add a new printer. I have no idea when this problem occurred, maybe when I upgraded from Ubuntu 8.4 LTS (Hardy Heron) to Ubuntu 10.4 LTS, but I can't be sure. To add the printer I followed this link {URL]... and was able to add the new printer.

But, after all is said and done, I think the GUI should just work, especially if we want Ubuntu to be more ubiquitous on the desktop.

Ubuntu :: Printing Crash For Some Applications Only?

Jan 6, 2010

I have a very weird printing problem, and don't really know where to look at to solve it.For some apps,printing works great (openoffice, acroread, kpdf, kghostview, Kolourpaint). For some others, the app just freezes when I click on "print" (gimp, firefox, "document reader", "image reader"). Maybe this is not the correct forum to ask this question, but I don't really see which one would be the best.

Ubuntu :: USB HP Deskjet D1420 Printing

I updated to the recent 9.10 version of Ubuntu and found that my printer no longer works. When trying to print, the printer just blinks and *occasionally* makes a noise and prints out a partial line of text or whatever. It's a USB connecting HP Deskjet D1420 that is not a network printer and does not need to be networked.

Ubuntu :: PDF Printing Settings Configuration?

Jan 22, 2010

I looked around to see if anyone has ever asked this before, but without success. Obviously I've been using Ubuntu's integrated Print-to-File/PDF solution, (which compared to other OS's is pretty well implemented), but is there any place where I could control the output more deeply, for configuring level and type of compression, font embedding, securiy/encryption, etc, or am I asking for too much and should install 3rd party software?

Ubuntu Servers :: Setting Up Lpr For Printing Under 8.04

Feb 23, 2010

I managed to install a networked printer to my box by

apt-get install system-config-printer-common system-config-printer-gnome

And using the system-config-printer, I can send print test page and it works.

Now, I noticed that I don't have lpr installed on this box.

So even if I install lpr or lprng I cannot seem to make it work.

Ohh and by the way, the only thing I use to print from that box is Acrobat Reader 9.. it is proprelly installed. I can see the networked printer entry from the program.. but for some reason Acrobat Reader 9 needs to use lpr to send the print job.

I wish to know what I am missing here.

I can do lpstat -v and I see my printer entry from there.

Now: the question: how can I setup lpr to work with my networked printer?

Should I install lpr or lprng?

What is the proper way to install a networked printer under Ubuntu-server?

Ubuntu :: Printing To Brother MFC 240C?

Feb 27, 2010

I am using Ubuntu 9.10. I have a Brother MFC 240C printer. I installed the print driver from here. Driver installed with no problem. When I print something, it goes through the print que to the the printer with no error messages, however the printer never prints the document. When I take the printer off line, Ubuntu senses it's offline and when I return the printer online Ubuntu knows it's back online. So I know Ubuntu is talking to the printer. It's just the print jobs never print. I am dual booting with Windows XP. The printer works fine when in XP.
