But that is probably a false > assumption... You can if you print a little more "manually". You could, for example, run the file through gs using ijsgimpprint (in the ijsgimpprint package; there's examples in the manpage), which will give you a "raw" print file. The raw print file may then be printed with "lpr -o raw". This bypasses the CUPS PostScript filtering (which got confused somehow by the non-standard PostScript and mangled the job options, resulting in a 1/8 wide raster which we detected and manually reexpand at the cost of much reduced quality). > I guess that issue is with muttprint then, or possibly latex. I'm not familiar with muttprint, so I can't really comment. The page looks like it's come directly from dvips, but the 2-up pages must have come from somewhere, and that's presumably what caused the problem. > Should I open a new bug with the muttprint package or can this bug > be reassigned ? You can reassign by sending mail to control (at) bugs.debian.org containing reassign bugnumber package in the body (http://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control).
