Package: xprt-common Version: 0.1.0.alpha1-8 Severity: normal The debconf question xprt-common/default_printer_resolution is quite long and verbose. It's so long that it cannot all be displayed on one screen using the debconf dialog frontend at a default console resolution of 80x25. This results in some less than ideal UI. We have tried to avoid overly long debconf questions because of that problem, and so I request that you find a way to remove a few sentences from this question so it all fits on one screen.
By default Xprint assumes a printer resolution of 600dpi. This should be fine for the majority of printers today. In fact, many printers will print 600dpi documents correctly even if their actual resolution differs from this. . Certain printers, however, will misprint documents if their true resolution is not used. A 600dpi document on a 300dpi-only printer will appear too big (with "large" fonts), while on a 1200dpi-only printer it will appear too small, only taking up a quarter of the page. . If you are experiencing these kinds of printing problems, you may want to set the default printer resolution to a value your printer can use. . This value is written into the *default-printer-resolution variable in /etc/Xprint/C/print/attributes/document. If you have a more complex setup with different printers, each of different resolutions, then you will need to manually create an entry for each of them separately. . The default printer resolution given here should be a number only, without the "dpi". That is, type "300" or "1200" (for example), or just press enter to accept the default value. My first suggestion would be to cut the entire second to last paragraph, which does not seem necessary for answering this question, and could/should be documented somewhere else anyway. I'd also suggest dropping the "just press enter to accept the default value" since that refers to a specific debconf UI. Not all deconf UIs may reuqire one to press enter; with some you might say "ok" or try to wiggle your 6th toe or something. -- see shy jo
