When you print from Firefox, for example, are the print settings in Firefox set to print A4 or Letter? PPDs can only provide a default for applications to use; applications may override the page size. Hello and thanks, No, all applications are set on A4, as long such an option is available in the application itself (Firefox, OpenOffice.org, etc.) Since Letter paper format is rarely available in Romania (almost unknown), all aplications are set on A4 by default. That means one must change from Letter (default setting in all US-style programs) to A4 and make this change persistent. Regards, Razvan Hello again, It seems this printer model has some hardware/firmware oddity: the described problem seems to occur even in Windows, with the Canon original drivers, from time to time (we use it daily for relatively high-volume printing). Since I don't have neither connections at Canon, nor very much knowledge about writing drivers on hardware specifications, please, could someone more knowledgeable verify this with them? IMHO, this printer model *worths* the effort, since it is a complex, good quality department printer & scanner and works smoothly otherwise... Regards, Razvan Here it is the software Canon gives for Linux, at their site, for the iR2020i printer (probably not free): SQue 9.2.2 in text mode http://software.canon-europe.com/files/soft25086/software/96b1enx.zip SQue 9.2.2 in X mode http://software.canon-europe.com/files/soft25111/software/g6b2enx.zip Razvan Without access to the hardware in question, there's not much that can be done. :-/ Sounds like it's something Canon needs to fix themselves. |
