I do not know about why PDF is set as the default for that printer.  I never saw an HP printer 
use PDF as a default language for the printer.


The Printer Language is set by LibreOffice. If you open the print dialog, klick on the printer and 
then on properties you get a new window. Select the tab device and here you have the printer 
language PDF (don't know if the Words of the tab etc. are correct since I use a german version). 
Again: setting this to PostScript (Level of the Driver) resolves the problem - but that are too 
much clicks for a print job.

Did you download and install the HP drivers for Linux?  Here is the link to the site.
http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/index.html

Yes I have the newest Version installed. The most recent version is 3.11.10...


I have two HP printers.  Color Laserjet 2600n and PSC1410.  I needed these updated drivers to 
make the printers work the best for Ubuntu Linux.  When you run the file in the Terminal 
[instructions are given on the site], it should ask about which OS and printer you have, before 
you download the needed file.  Then when you run the script, it will download everything that is 
needed and install the needed packages for you.

This may help, if you did not install the drivers.  I found that the drivers included with Ubuntu 
10.04 was not as good as the most up-to-date ones from that site.

The system shows the OS for SUSE 11.3 and 11.4, and you will have to page down the printer list a 
long way to get to your printer, after you select OfficeJet Pro as the type of printer.  I do not 
see ArchLinux, but you should be able to use the driver from the parent OS like Debian, Ubuntu, 
SUSE, Fedora, etc., whatever it is.  It shows the same version for the package as you listed, but 
so did Ubuntu, but for some reason when I installed the version from this site, it seemed to work 
better.  Actually, I just realized that I am running an older version than is online, so I will 
be upgrading it myself.

IF you still have the problems, make sure you use the non-PDF language for your default printer 
language.  HP's language or Postscript language is preferred.

... PDF is set in LibreOffice (see above) :(


As for CUPS, did you install CUPS-PDF from your package manager?  That is my default way to print 
out PDF files, even from LibreOffice [most of the time].

In OpenSuse 12.1 (standard) there is no package called cups-pdf


As for the 2 pages per sheet, the orientation for the sheet should be landscape.  If it is 
otherwise, then there is a problem.

Hi everybody,

this is my first post in a mailing list - so please be patient.

I have a strange problem - and I have to admint: I don't know if it belongs to llibreoffice 
only. So here is the Problem:
I'm using a HP Officjet Pro k8600dn and I can't print to pages on a sheet of paper. If I start a 
print job the paper gets loaded and the printer hangs. I could only bring it back to live if I 
switch it off and on again. The problem does only appear if the printer language is set to PDF 
(the default) in LibreOffice. If I set it to PostScript (level of the driver) the printer works 
as expected.
On the other hand: I have an old HP Laserjet 5L. With it the two-pages-on-a-sheet-printing works 
(but the orientation is wrong - but that's another problem).

Here is my software:
OperationSystem: Linux (OpenSuse RC1 or Archlinux - both the same error)
LibreOffice: 3.4.2
CUPS: 1.5.0
hplip: 3.11.10

Greetings tknierim
