Didn't help me, though.
Problem maybe identified. When I tried pdf2ps, it complained that the Arial
font should have been embedded, but wasn't. Of course this can't be a
problem on modern Windows boxes, because they come with Arial. Maybe I just
need to learn how to alias some Helvetica-like font to "Arial" for xorg
(which I have no idea how to do).
Of course, in reality all I have to do is print the document from my
Windows-running laptop, but this isn't a good thing for Debian. And I have
no idea how someone on this list printed the file using Sid. Do you have
Arial as an alias somewhere?
While writing this I wanted to try to print again, but I noticed that CUPS
is now not running? So I tried to restart it, but it refuses to start--when
I run "/etc/init.d/cupsys start" it prints the last page I printed yesterday
(?) then exits with no error message in /var/log/cups/error_log.
So I tried reinstall lprng. (I never much liked CUPS.) Unfortunately,
according to the manual in lprng-doc, it doesn't support usb printers(!).
So what the heck is going on?
