- gpr, gtklp: PPD-aware but no change, still mirrored
- kprint: prints correctly.
in all cases I used PPD in /etc/cupsd/ppd/.
Alas, in no case I got an acceptable printout from an (RGB) JPEG: darkned,
almost all grayed out, either from cmd line or GIMP or OOo - definitely
this printer/driver is unusable for images (let alone true photo) - but
that's another story.
I wonder what makes kprint (and OOo) apart from other (PPD-aware) print
utils - note that even Mozilla, which prints via CUPS directly, doesn't
get it right.
thanks
