[Bug 26122] Re: can't change print quality
I have this bug on a freshly installed Dapper Release Candidate 1. On my system I don't have a ~/.loptions file at all. Whatever setting I change with gnome-cups-manager, it seems to be stored somewhere, because it shows up next time I start gnome-cups-manager. However, checking with CUPS through http://localhost:631 still shows the initial printer settings from the time the printer was created. The latter ones seem to be used by all GNOME apps. Printing different qualites with OpenOffice works fine, however. Dapper is a great so far, but not being able to change the print quality (and therefore wasting lot of expensive ink) is a big drawback, I think. It will make some people rant about Linux and prevent some from dropping Windows (I just killed my Windows partition trusting Dapper's quality, regretting it now a little bit). I'd vote for having it fixed with Dapper release. Alas I don't have the knowledge to help fixing it.

[Bug 26122] Re: can't change print quality
This is preventing people from using their printers in a decent manner, I can't understand how dapper could reach rc1 status when still affected by such a serious issue, please devs do dot underestimate the bad impression this problem might give to new users. We're going to end up with a horde of people complaining about printing in dapper being broken. I am sorry if I am abusing the bug report but you should realize printing is crucial in a dekstop OS. Thanks.

[Bug 26122] Re: can't change print quality
Andrea, we understand your concern, but you should also understand that we inherit lot of code from upstream and sometime that code is not perfect and require work. The issue is that we get lot of bugs and only few people for that number so we tend to be really busy, the best you can to make sure that's fixed is to find somebody not work overloaded with some interest to fix that and send a patch -- can't change print quality https://launchpad.net/bugs/26122 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

On my system, gnome-cups-manager deletes the file ~/.lpoptions whenever I change a setting. -- can't change print quality https://launchpad.net/bugs/26122 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
