Just found this googleing : |
| 23 |
http://www.linuxprinting.org/pipermail/foomatic-devel/2002q3/000874.html |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
A short quote of this text is : |
| 26 |
---------------------------------------------- |
| 27 |
if not, edit /usr/lib/cups/filter/cupsomatic replacing the line "my |
| 28 |
ps_accounting = 1;" by "my ps_accounting = 0;". Now your file should |
| 29 |
print without problems. |
| 30 |
---------------------------------------------- |
| 31 |
Did it and now, I do not waste any more paper with blank pages. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
The article do propose a patch too if accounting is needed... Didn't try it |
| 34 |
and don't know if it would be advisable to modify the cups ebuild to apply |
| 35 |
this patch. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
For my part, I'm happy with this very simple fix. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Hope this helps, |
