Re: [libreoffice-users] Can't print in landscape on Epson in openSUSE

Hi,
(Little embarrassed...)

I'm sorry for the noise, but I have found the problem. I should have
done the installation of the drivers more carefully.

When I installed the drivers for the printer the ppd wasn't actually
made visible to CUPS. So I could never select the correct driver when
adding the printer in CUPS, only gutenprint was there. I have now
copied the ppd manually.

I don't think I'm the only one to blame though. The installation
instructions are not correct on avasys pages. I will contact them
again about that.
