This experience is very frustrating as from beginning, the test page works fine... KONICA-MINOLTA delivers 2 PPDs: one for standard printing and one for OpenOffice printing (available on the KONICA-MINOLTA support site). Leaving a side the one for OpenOffice which is poor in using the capabilities of the printer, I concentrate only on the global one (M4695PX.ppd). It's much more difficult for other applications starting with EVINCE: some PDF files are printed properly (i.e. those generated in OpenOffice by the CUPS PDF printer), others come out as one only blank page, regardless to the original length of the document. So documents received from 3rd party may be "printable" or not. And trust Murphy, the most critical aren't printed... Is someone out there with a good idea ? Regards
