Solving Problems

6.9

Some letters are not 
displayed normally 

during the Cover page 
printing.

This problem is caused because Mac OS can not 
create the font during the Cover page printing. 

English alphabet and numbers are displayed 
normally at the Cover page.

I can’t change settings 

in the configuration 
tool.

You need to have administrator privileges to be able 

to change global settings.

I am using the KDE 
desktop but the 
configuration tool and 

LLPR won’t start.

You may not have the GTK libraries installed. These 
usually come with most Linux distributions, but you 
may have to install them manually. Refer to your 

distribution’s installation manual for more details 
about installing additional packages.

I just installed this 
package but can’t find 
entries in the KDE/

Gnome menus.

Some versions of the KDE or GNOME desktop 
environments may require that you restart your 
session for the changes to take effect.

I get a “Some options 

are not selected” error 
message while editing 
the printer settings.

Some printers have conflicting settings, meaning 

that some settings for two options can’t be selected 
at the same time. When you change a setting and 
the Printer Package detects such a conflict, the 
conflicting option is changed to a “No Choice” value. 

You have to choose an option that does not conflict 
before being able to submit the changes.

I can’t make a printer 
the system default.

In some conditions, it may not be possible to 
change the default queue. This happens with some 

variants of LPRng, especially on recent RedHat 
systems that use the “printconf” database of 
queues.
When using printconf, the /etc./printcap file is 
automatically refreshed from the database of 
printers managed by the system (usually through 

the “printtool” command), and the queues in /
etc./printcap.local are appended to the resulting 
file. The default queue in LPRng is defined as the 

first queue in /etc./printcap, and therefore it is 
not possible for the Linux Printer Package to change 
the default when some queues have otherwise been 

defined using printtool.
LPD systems identify the default queue as the one 
named “lp”. Thus, if there is already a queue by this 

name, and if it doesn’t have an alias, then you won’t 
be able to change the default. To work around this, 
you can either delete the queue or rename it by 

manually editing the /etc./printcap file.

The N-up setting does 

not work correctly for 
some of my 
documents.

The N-up feature is achieved through post-

processing of the PostScript data that is sent to the 
printing system. However, such post-processing can 
only be adequately achieved if the PostScript data 

conforms to the Adobe Document Structing 
Conventions. Problems may arise when using N-up 
and other features that rely on post-processing if 

the document being printed isn’t compliant.

I am using BSD lpr 

(Slackware, Debian, 
older distributions) 
and some options 

chosen in LLPR don’t 
seem to take effect.

Legacy BSD lpr systems have a hard limitation on 

the length of the option string that can be passed to 
the printing system. As such, if you selected a 
number of different options, you may have 

exceeded the length of the options and some of 
your choices won’t be passed to the programs 
responsible for implementing them. Try to select 

fewer options that deviate from the defaults, to 
save on memory usage.

I am trying to print a 
document in 
Landscape mode, but 

it prints rotated and 
cropped.

Most Unix applications that offer a Landscape 
orientation option in their printing options will 
generate correct PostScript code that should be 

printed as is. In that case, you need to make sure 
that you leave the LLPR option set to its default 
Portrait setting, to avoid unwanted rotations of the 

page that would result in cropped output.
