Re: trouble with CUPS
Hi Florian,
I had and I still have problems with CUPS - although not more, but
simply different problems from the lpr, apsfilter & Co programs I used
before.
After some weeks into the CUPS domain I still run into mysteries. Some
mysteries were there with BSD printing, but now some new appeared and
some old disappeared 8-)
What I found out is: Very often it makes a difference whether I issue a
lp <some-file>
on the command line or try to print it from an application. And it is
not file-type-specific! Some PDFs I can _only_ print from the command
line, some _only_ from acroread, some _only_ from gv and a couple of
them from 2 of the mentioned environments. I do not know what makes the
difference, although I learned, that some PDFs from some sources need a
special treatment (print on terminal or print from acroread or print
from gv).
This is, of course, no great help for you, but it should comfort you:
you are not alone.
Uli
