Printing from OpenOffice.org is fine, but whenever I try to print from
Firefix, the output comes out in Landscape with the top part of the text
chopped off. The Print Preview looks fine.
Google hasn't helped much; "about:config" and filtering for "print"
doesn't show anything obviously out of place (but I don't really
understand most of the options here); some of the Googling indicates
that Xprint is somehow involved (I don't really understand Xprint, it's
purpose or it's manner of working), but when I run
export $XPSERVERLIST=`/etc/init.d/xprint get_xpserverlist`
like some Google pages indicate, I get this error:
bash: export: `=:64': not a valid identifier
I've seen that text in the printer names that xprint generates -- printers, btw
that don't actually work correctly. There are some other threads in here about
xprint and its relative value. I found it more hassle than it was worth and
purged it. firefox printing is flawless. ymmv.
oh, and if you do purge it, It'll try to take the x-window-system meta package,
iirc, but its only that, a meta-package. again, ymmv.
Purging xprint did not make any difference.
Thanks, anyway.
