Hi. Ed Richley had mailed me about printing difficulties he encountered when trying to print in Landscape mode. He did some debugging and found that if he slightly edited the generated PostScript file things would print correctly. Based on the info/patch he sent me, I've changed the 'printing.py' file to apply his fix as well as a number of other small changes that should, hopefully, resolve the issues he was seeing. The various changes move a couple of PostScript commands out of what is called the prologue section of the file and into the the script part. One fix, incidentally, was to fix the long-standing typo which terminates the prologue: "%%EndProlog". Previously the code would say "%%EndPrologue", which is the correct spelling but for some reason the Adobe people preferred to drop the 'ue' and use the spelling of the computer language. Maybe the original PostScript authors hated Prolog and this was their revenge.
Had anyone else had difficulty printing in Landscape mode? If so, could you post a comment to the list. I can send a small patch that will alter the 'printing.py' file that should, hopefully, fix things. Or you can wait until the next release when the fix will be included.
