Hello all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I witnessed some unexpected printing behavior recently. I can't really |
| 4 |
understand why these results happen, but I solved my specific problems. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I'm running KDE 3.5.10, so this might not apply to 4.x (though I'd be |
| 7 |
interested if someone could test it!). |

I usually use a2ps to print things, since for most text files and graphics I |
| 10 |
prefer the smaller size. At some point, I must have changed the printer |
| 11 |
configuration in KEdit to "Landscape," and this confused a2ps about the |
| 12 |
orientation of the page for text file printing. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
After killing probably half a tropical rainforest and rebuilding many |
| 15 |
packages, I saved the configuration change in KEdit printing to Portrait, |
| 16 |
and then everything was just fine. These results are also applied even on a |
| 17 |
console-login and a2ps, although the KEdit print settings are at least |
| 18 |
user-specific. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Is it really correct for a program like KEdit to have control over *all* |
| 21 |
text file printer settings? (I know it's just text file settings because |
| 22 |
a2ps was working fine for other file formats.) What configuration files is |
| 23 |
it actually changing? |
| 24 |
