I have the same problem. The printtool that came with RedHat 6.2 was very handy and easy to use. It was disappointing that the printool that came with RedHat 7.1 took away the functionality of being able to adjust page margins. Now it gets worse. With the printtool from RedHat 7.3, with printer Driver for Tektronix Phaser 850, the option to select a different tray (Media Source) had disappeared. I and many other people depended on this feature for selecting plain paper/transparencies printing. It may seem trivial, but printing is a very important part of using a computer, and something many people do frequently, and fixing the printtool cannot be too hard. A simple workaround I guess is to replace an input file to magic filter with the one from rh7.1 - in my system, the file is /var/spool/lpd/<queue_id>/Postcript-157312.foo But this is unsatisfactory - some user in my department balked at the idea of hacking system files. With this downward trend, the joke around is what option will we lose with the next RedHat version - but my hope is for an updated version of printtool appear in the download list soon. This is more or less what the -Z options are/were used for with lprng. Though the question remains - what options can you pass to which drivers. Closing - lprng no longer ships - kprinter and cups ppds solves this confusion. |
