TurboPrint & PrintFab

Great.

I just installed another batch of updates last week and now it seems to work allright. I'm still really curious of what went wrong but I guess it was some ubuntu-package that was messing things up.

I just tried again from Openoffice Calc. In Layout -> Page, at the page tab is it set to A4 size. It is also correctly specified as 21,00 cm x 29,70 cm. But still when I try to print, it becomes 4x6'' size, effectively printing only about 25% of the page.

The same thing in Openoffice Writer - it is ...

And exactly the same thing happens from Gimp. I select A4, it tries to print on 4x6'' Borderless. Afterwards, I used the standard Gimp Print dialog instead of the TurboPrint dialog and it did print fine. Something really strange is going on here.

My last attempt to print a document from OpenOffice. I have explicitly set page size to A4 in Properties -> Paper size.

I still cannot print from OpenOffice, which is rather annoying. I first have to export to PDF and open it using Acrobat Reader, otherwise it still tries to print to 4x6'' Borderless paper... Any suggestion how to fix this would be appreciated.

Hmm, I just noticed, I just cancelled all print jobs. I turned off the printer to get rid of the 'out of paper' message due to the fact that it tried to feed from the top feed, turned it on again and then I started the print job again from OpenOffice.

I explicitly set it to Lower Tray and A4 paper ...

I've been using the turboprint driver a couple of days now and one of the things (aside from the crash described in my other post) that bugs me is that the settings keep getting messed up.

When printing I change between photo paper 4x6'' and A4 paper, and between lower tray and top feed. The thing ...

I have just purchased the Turbuprint Family license for my new Canon PIXMA iP4600 printer. The printer is now attached to my router and I have set it up as an LPR printer on my router.

While the print quality is fine, quite often while halfway printing a photo the TurboPrint Printer Monitor shows a ...
