[Gambas-user] Gambas-user Digest, Vol 109, Issue 36

[Martin McGlensey]

Rolf,

Thanks for your response. The print example prints to a PDF without problem.
The only thing I see that could be a problem in the PDF is the last line on
page one appears to be split vertically along the centerline of the text.
That is 50% of the line appears on the last line and 50% appears on the
first line of page two. The text color is light gray not black as in the
body of the document. I know it sound weird  but that is what I see. I
suspect that this may be a formatting issue as I assume the example does
work.

My printer uses a cups driver supplied by the manufacturer. It is networked
through Samba to a PC running Windows 8. All other print functions work
without problem. I know how to delete documents from the queue but not how
to restart it. How is that done. Hopefully that gives you some more info and
I await your response.

Regards,
Marty

Try to print into a file, not to the printer. Then check what's happening.

When I print an empty PS document, the printer will warm, but never 
prints anything. But I'm on a bigger (terminal server) system here, and 
it has happened every few months or so that one of the printer queues 
gets mad. Then CUPS is my friend, deleting everything and restarting the 
queue will help.

But the reason might as well be in the setup of the printer queue, and 
it is for some random reason that printing with Gambas comes to the 
point where the queue gets confused.

When you can have a look into the printed file or you make it visible in 
a PDF viewer, maybe you will see at once what's going wrong...

Rolf
