I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 and I seem to be having issues with my Lexmark e250dn driver.
I'm using it as a network printer (using the built-on network port) and no other computer has a problem printing to it.
The problem is that everything gets rotated to landscape, and shrunk to fit on half the page. If two pages are printed, they are done beside each other on one sheet.
If I rotate manually, it prints the two pages still, just one above the other and shrinks to fit. Printing 200% does no change.
This happens across all applications.
I also have an HP inkjet printer that prints perfectly fine.
Loading Vbox in XP or 7beta can printer normally as well.
I've tried manually reloading the drivers (whatever I could find) and have the same result.
I've tried searching but I can't seem to find anyone else who have run into this problem, and I've been wasting the ink on the HP. Plz help.
Thanks.

If it's a lexmark inkjet, buy something else and you'll have paid for it within 2 years on better cartridge life.
A girl I knew was tech support for Lexmark :-D. Have you tried under http://localhost:631/printers ??

It's a Lexmark Laser printer, not inkjet. It's not a matter of getting new hardware since the printer works fine. It's a driver issue that is only affecting my Ubuntu laptop. Opening that link and printing a test page directly (not self-test) still seems to produce a reduced size printout

From the information you provide it seems you have strange settings on your box for that particular printer.
If you are using a2ps that has a default setting of 2 pages in landscape as you describe. It's Fromat/Page in Openoffice; Edit/Preferences (I think) in Mozilla. There are also files in /etc/cups. Some things even do that as a 'draft' mode IIRC. Long time since I had major hassle, so I'm no longer sure.
