Well, here's my topic request, prompted by a recent post by rbw which
included a nice printer configuration tidbit.
Printers and Printing
---------------------
Things I'd like to see:
(others may wish to add to this)
How to cope with standard things
minimum margins
getting accurate previews
How to use some special printer capabilities such as
duplex
alternate feed bins
quality adjustments
maybe: some fancy stuff like binding offset, color-matching
How to get applications to do reasonable things
fit to page
position on page
split large things (spreadsheets, pictures) _sensibly_
maybe: for best pasting-back-together
-rbw- got a printer configuration and usage presentation up your sleeve?
anybody else? maybe a shared presentation?
If no one or no ad-hoc group can put these things together in a couple
of weeks, maybe people can at least be thinking about this for the future.
Well, I know how to do some of the things in the list above, but not
all. Not sure how one would demo without schlepping a large printer
to the meeting.
Thinking.
