It did, and it was opened by kghostview for display when I dbl-clicked on it. kghostview's printer dialog can see AND adjust the options. I left the default long edge binding duplex setting in place and printed it, AND IT WORKED! But that printer dialog is obviously not one of the two I have been dealing with here. It is TDEPrint , and appears to work exactly as expected. So we have now learned that it can work on wheezy, if the right printer dialog issues the command to (cups version) lp. Do we still have the group in denial? Now, if I can determine from the help screens of the other print dialogs and determine what their names are, I can begin to file meaningful bugs. > Petter Thank you Petter, it was and is, a valuable tool for testing.
