That sounds like I'd get landscape without specifying it if I chose ledger. Does anyone know if thats the case with our wheezy/tde printing filter? Ledger isn't one of the choices, and tabloid spits out blank paper. And according to cups, evince is only send it a 1k sized job. It looks great on the evince screen! So I tried to regenerate it from the original .svg file. But this time, inkscape refused to export anything but a .png, so I had to use Poserazer to generate a 6 page using 15something by 9something images in .pdf format, looking identical to the first file on the evince screen. Restarted evince 3 or 4 times. Print first page, get blank paper and cups says the job was 1 kilobyte, when it worked yesterday, each page was about 4.5 megabytes down the pipeline to the printer. I am totally bumfuzzled, htop says I am about 40 megs into swap, so maybe I should send this and reboot.
