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.
Hi,
Xpdf prints double-sided by default for me. I have a Lexmark E260DN
printer. The default font is neither too thin or too thick. It must be
the Goldilocks font.
Best regards,
Fred
