Try to use the ghostpdf.ppd printer description with your |
32 |
cups-pdf printer to get the options to embed the fonts. You |
33 |
should have this file already on your system, on mine it is |
34 |
/usr/share/ghostscript/8.15/lib/ghostpdf.ppd. |
35 |
|
36 |
The steps are: |
37 |
Webbrowser http://localhost:631 |
38 |
Printers tab, search for the cups-pdf printer |
39 |
Modify Printer |
40 |
Continue |
41 |
Continue |
42 |
paste the location of your ghostpdf.ppd in the field "Or Provide a PPD File:", |
43 |
press "Modify Printer" |
44 |
Now you can set the printer options. |
