I haven't tried all the options, but I assume anything other than "Plain paper" will output the ad. I am getting acceptable quality for text output, and that's all I want, so I'm happy with that. You can set the option with xtpconfig (or CUPS webmin too I think). HTH.

I seem to be having this problem from a variety of apps. It has occurred thus far with Konqueror, Kmail, KWrite, Opera, and with various files. I have been using .xsession-errors as a test file. I thought I had the latest version of TurboPrint, but I did not. So, I installed their latest "turboprint-1.84-1.i386.rpm".

This is usually a margins problem. Try printing through xpp, setting the margins higher than the default. Don't forget to check what paper format it's using - if it thinks you have A4 but you have Letter this would also cause it. > Also, and what might be > unrelated, when I view my document of several pages in print > preview, it indicates the correct amount of pages, but I cannot > scroll through any other than the 1st.

[newbie] printer config ques
Greetings, I am experiencing a situation where, when printing a document of more than 1 page, there are several lines being lost in the transition from one page to the next. Also, and what might be unrelated, when I view my document of several pages in print preview, it indicates the correct amount of pages, but I cannot scroll through any other than the 1st. By that I mean when I do scroll, the 1st page is just repeated as each successive page is attemped to be viewed. I can print all pages, but lines are lost as mentioned. I am using Mdk 9.1 and my printer is an Epson Stylus Color 480SXU on TurboPrint driver with CUPS. This setup was previously working OK, and I can't figure what may have brought this on. Any feedback/help on this would truly be appreciated. TIA.
