Debian kernel-2.4.29-f3, mostly sarge, some sid.
Gnome Desktop 2.8.3
Cups: 1.0.23-10
mozilla-firefox browser, 2 versions, debian 1.0.2 for everybody but myself
Epson Color Stylus CX5400 printer
When I print from my own desktop, the choices of printer offered by the
browser's print dialog are:
* CUPS/scx5300_5400
* Default Postscript
And things seem to print correctly
When my wife tries to print from her desktop, the choices of printer are
* scx5400_5400@:64
* xp_ps_spooldir_HOME_xprint ... @:64
* xp_pdf_spooldir_HOME_xprint ...@:64
* Postscript/scx5300_5400
And everything she tries to print comes out with very large fonts and
only about half on the page, as though the dots-per-inch setting is way off.
My SWAG is that the application is picking up the wrong default printer
information. But I have no idea where the printer info comes from.
It's worth noting that everything was working fine until one of my
frequent aptitude--upgrade runs included the cupsys packages.
Meanwhile, this has convinced my wife that I only installed Linux to
annoy her.
