I've completed my U.S. tax forms in the fillable PDFs provided by the
Internal Revenue Service. Now I want to print them to (yes) submit through
snail mail.
In the past, I was happy printing from Acrobat 9, which is still fine for
display purposes. But with my new printer (Brother DCP-L2640DW), printing
from Acrobat fails. The request gets to the printer, but localhost:631 shows
"Can't detect file type". So I've been happy printing from qpdfview, until
now. Now the dollar amounts I entered on the forms look OK in qpdfview's
display but print in a very thin font. Any ideas how to fix this?
Xpdf prints show a font that is a little too thick, and xpdf offers none of
the printer's options (e.g. double-sided printing). I don't try Evince
(Gnome) or Okular (KDE) because I run the fvwm window manager.
Thanks.
I understood that all government departments, including the tax
department had been shut down, and, all government employees sacked, in
Mexican America (also known as the Soviet Republic of Donaldduckestan,
after its president, donald duck), formerly known as the USA, being shut
down by the DOGI (pronounced Dodgy) - Department Of Government

I use primarily Evince, runnimg on the MATE desktop environement, and,
it seems to work okay.
I suggest that you give it a try.
I have found that an application for one Desktop environment, will
generally work without problems, on another desktop environment, so, KDE
applications will work equally well on MATE, as will gnome and xfce
applications.
You simply need to try, rather than dismissing without trying - it is
the old proverb - "You never know, unless you try".
