Printing issues with canon i560 on Suse9.1


I've seen all the threads on how to get the canon i560 working and everyone seems to have success with either using the Canon BJC-7000 or Turboprint. I have tried both and they both give me the same problem. It makes a huge margin at the top of the page and like a 2mm margin at the bottom. I even tried changing the default magin values in KDE Control Center => Periferials => Printers (even though they looked to be OK) and I still got the same problem.

Anyone got an idea?

btw, I am using Suse 9.1 Pro and the Canon i560 is connected via USB.

hi,

With which sofware do you make your documents? OpenOffice, LaTeX, plain TeX, emacs, vi... Please let me know. Could be the driver but more likelly it's the software...

Waiting for reply,

Greetings,

Ronald

The only app I print from is OpenOffice 1.1.1
I'll try printing from something else to check.

Good call! I tried printing from Kedit and it worked just fine. Then I went back to OpenOffice and printed to a pdf and it pushed everything towards the bottom of the page. Wierd.

Anyone know how to fix OpenOffice so it will print correctly?

1000 points for ronald-be.

printing with SuSE

Hi,

I make most document with OpenOffice. Got never problems since I'm using turboprint. Will check out some things. Printing to PDF seems problematic to me while conversions to other formats are not carried out correctly. I'm using GNOME while KDE crashes too much. Check out the margin settings for the printer : 2 in = 50,8 mm. If you set 20 in instead of 20 mm it could cause problems like these. Check also if you can define an unprintable area and check it's dimensions if so. Check both the printers properties in KDE and in turboprint (if different) and also in your document.

Greetings,

Ronald
