Hey
everyone,
I just wanted to
pick someone's brain on this strange issue I have been having with my
printer. You guys are a sharp crew, and this is partial FC2 question, so I am
asking away here.
This is actually a
reverse problem, in that all works fine printing to a shared printer from
my Fedora Core 2 box, but when printing locally to the printer from WinXP, the
printer produces horizontal lines!
Now, all used to be
fine printing locally from WinXP to my old school BJ200, with occasional
horizontal lines fixed by cleaning the printer or replacing the cartridge. Now,
imagine my surprise when I print from my FC2 box, and it prints flawlessly 100%
of the time!
Every application in
WinXP (Word, Firefox, Excel, etc.) now has trouble printing locally with
horizontal lines. Why does FC2 work fine printing to the same exact printer over
the network? Doesn't it eventually use the same BJ200 Windows driver that seems
to be having issues?
I have ruled out the
printer as FC2 prints great. Does FC2/CUPS enact different settings on the print
job than XP would?
I am confused at
this point, and have checked the very basic windows and FC2 Cups settings to
determine what might be different, but to no avail.
Anyone have any
ideas?
Thanks,
Ivan
Berg
