bullseye, up to date as of an hour ago.
I have 2 printers here; both Brothers, one is a newer Hll2320D
a black & white laser, does duplex flawlessly.
And an older brother MFC-J6920DW which has two paper src trays.
This is a BIG MFC ink jet, capable of printing and scanning of tabloid
paper.
cups can make it do whatever I want, including test pages on duplex
paper in tray 2,
the bottom tray.
Trying to rebuild a 3d printer, I need to print data from some of
those web sites.
But I cannot, something in the browser (FF) or "system" is over riding
Eliminate the effect of firefox by printing the page to a PDF file,
then print that?
FF's ability to print has improved a lot recently. Not perfect, mind.
Cheers,
David.
.
And how do I print the resulting .pdf?
system printer, xfce system, shows 4 choices, one for pdf, 2 for this
brother
depending on tray choice in the profile cups shows, and one for the
HLL2320D.
I made the 4 page pdf, but lp -d can't find anything to print to. The
printer,
or class, does not exist regardless of how carefully I copy/paste the
destination
device from the output of /usr/sbin/lpinfo -v.(and, why is that not in
my $PATH?)
Thank you David.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
