[ale] printing fun

[Jim Kinney]

I rarely print any more but when I need to... lately I pull out my
hair.

cups can print perfect test pages all day long. HP printing widget
stuff can print test pages all day long. Printer is a well supported HP
laserjet pro M501dn.

I can't print from any application correctly. When I print an email
message all I get are the vertical stripes where the quoted section
begins. Print to pdf, view pdf, looks fine, print pdf, get nothing but
bars, no text of any kind.

The applications I failed with so far are evolution email, LibreOffice
docs - the only two environments I ever actually print from. No cups
logs with anything.

Firefox can print (ctl-P, select printer, print).

Ideas, directions to look in , etc., would be appreciated.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
