Remember that the debconf question said if you have a more complex setup like yours, then you need to adjust the config files by hand. There is more information in the FAQ (/usr/share/doc/xprt-common/Xprint_FAQ.txt.gz) at Q. 211: Q: How do I change the default printer resolution ? A: This is controlled via the "default-printer-resolution" attribute in the document attribute pool (${XPCONFIGDIR}/${LANG}/print/attributes/document and/or ${XPCONFIGDIR}/C/print/attributes/document). Examples: 1. Adding/modifying the following line to/in ${XPCONFIGDIR}/C/print/attributes/document sets the default resolution for all printers to 600 DPI: *default-printer-resolution: 600 2. Adding/modifying the following two lines to/in ${XPCONFIGDIR}/C/print/attributes/document sets the default resolution for all printers to 300 DPI except for printer "tekcolor_ps" which should default to 1200 DPI: *default-printer-resolution: 300 tekcolor_ps.default-printer-resolution: 1200 That is, the file to change is /etc/Xprint/C/print/attributes/document. You'll see there that *default-printer-resolution is already set. The '*' means it applies to all printers. You override it by giving the name of your printer which needs the separate setting, putting the name instead of the '*', like "tekcolor_ps" in this example. > So this setting needs to be queried from the printing subsystem about > the current printer (if possible at all - I'm not sure it is) or the > need for this setting should be eliminated. > It's on the "To Do" list.
