Thanks James, |

I have not ticked the box that says "print to file" in Opera. |
33 |
|
34 |
In Konqueror the Output file is greyed out. |
35 |
|
36 |
Therefore assume that both applications should be sending the data to the |
37 |
printer ... |
38 |
|
39 |
The error file for Konqueror mentions pdf, but the Opera and Firefox show |
40 |
postcript: |
41 |
|
42 |
I [27/Jun/2010:11:29:28 +0100] [Job ???] Request file type is |
43 |
application/postscript. |
44 |
|
45 |
Do I now need more than the hplip driver perhaps? |
46 |
|
47 |
BTW, a second box (x86) can print from Opera, but the page has areas which are |
48 |
blacked out. Konq prints but always in colour even when I select greyscale |
49 |
and Firefox works fine. |

This all must have started a month ago or so. |
