Printing in Linux

I have just solved a problem that has bugged me for ages. Opera has been the main culprit here, although sometimes firefox would misbehave in the same way. No other applications suffer from the problem. Here is the mystery problem. No matter what I did, I couldn't get pages to print in portrait orientation. When I specify portrait in opera, it would print the page in across the page, but with the tops and bottoms cut off, as if it had actually printed in portrait but the job had been spun around in the printer. It wasn't a driver problem as it happens on both of my printers. But tonight in a rare moment of inspiration, it occurred to me that both of my printers are HPs and therefore go through the HPLIP application. I fiddled around in there and discovered that for some reason it was set to Landscape. Switching it to Portrait fixed the problem. So if anyone else has problems printing with HP printers, and if you have HPLIP installed, that could be your problem. -- God bless you, Keith Bates www.new-life.org.au If you don't have a reason to live JESUS IS THE ANSWER!
