i'm using Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron), and the only work around that works for me is the one described by aurorius. basically, i couldn't find the "Job Options" tab. either i'm stupid, or else it is changed in my version of CUPS (which is 1.3.7-1ubuntu3).
you can read my long description of the bug and fix here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6858372&postcount=10 but all of this information is included above, or in references cited by the above listings. but i'll summarize the fix cited above: i'm using Ubuntu 8.04 (really Kubuntu 8.04) Hardy Heron. what i did was edit /etc/cups/printers.conf and add the line Option orientation-requested 3 just above </Printer> everywhere it appears in the file. for example: ErrorPolicy retry-job + Option orientation-requested 3 </Printer> you must be root to edit the file. to do this with sudo and vi: % sudo vi /etc/cups/printers.conf you should probably save a backup copy of the file before you edit it. after you edit the file you must restarts the Cups daemon. try: % sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart -- Printing from Java does not work at all with cups > 1.2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/156191 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
