I would try to change the quality setting by using the "lpoptions" command, both as your normal user and as root. Maybe this will turn up a clue. Is your normal user a member of the "lpadmin" group? The manpage of lpoptions has all the details; it should work something like this: $ lpoptions -l | grep -i quality Quality/Resolution, Quality, Ink Type, Media Type: *FromPrintoutMode 300DraftGrayscaleK 300GrayscaleK 600GrayscaleK $ lpoptions -o Quality=600GrayscaleK $ lpoptions -l | grep -i quality Quality/Resolution, Quality, Ink Type, Media Type: FromPrintoutMode 300DraftGrayscaleK 300GrayscaleK *600GrayscaleK $ lpoptions -o Quality=FromPrintoutMode $ lpoptions -l | grep -i quality Quality/Resolution, Quality, Ink Type, Media Type: *FromPrintoutMode 300DraftGrayscaleK 300GrayscaleK 600GrayscaleK (With your printer you will probably have different values to choose from. The active setting is always marked with an asterisk "*".) -- Regards, Florian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
