You mean this Beer Smith 2??? "BeerSmith 2, Home Brewing Software" http://www.the-home-brew-shop.co.uk/..._Software.html. I've heard of printing 3D guns but I've never heard of printing beer. Is this something new?
In fact it doesn't appear to support linux. Quote:

Ok, I see that. Have you downloaded and installed the Deb file? https://s3.amazonaws.com/BeerSmith2-...1.02_amd64.deb (for 64bit system). It should work on Linux Mint.

just wonderd if there is anything i could do to resolve this as this would be perfect for me and i could make windows redundent |
What exactly does the program do? Does it give you any text/images that you can print using another application? Does the program have a print preview function or any other parameters on its print command? I'm have trouble understanding what exactly this program does and why it wouldn't use the available printing resources on your machine.

It does give you a print preview and also gives you an option to print to PDF which i have tried and guess what the pdf just prints a blank page i could send you a copy of a pdf if you wish and you could see for you self |
1. Is there a "Print to file" option?
If yes, then you could compare that with the output of the same option used by applications that do print correctly (using other documents, obviously) and see if they resemble each other. 2. Do the recipes show up on the screen? If yes you could use a screen capture program such a ksnapshot (KDE) to create an image file of your recipe that you would be able to print. 3. I am suspicious of the quality of a program that can't even use the available printing resources found on your system. 4. You say there is a print preview capacity on this program. Does your page appear correctly on the preview? 5. I assume the pdf file is of a blank page. I don't see any purpose in sending that to me. I know what a blank page looks like. 6. I also assume that your printer functions correctly for all other applications save this one. jdk |
