I am trying to print a document in
Landscape mode, but it prints
rotated and cropped.
Most Unix applications that offer a Landscape
orientation option in their printing options will
generate correct PostScript code that should be
printed as is. In that case, you need to make sure
that you leave the LLPR option set to its default
Portrait setting, to avoid unwanted rotations of the
page that would result in cropped output.
The N-up setting
does not work correctly for some of my
documents.
The N-up feature is achieved through post-
processing of the PostScript data that is sent to the
printing system. However, such post-processing can
only be adequately achieved if the PostScript data
conforms to the Adobe Document Structing
Conventions. Problems may arise when using N-up
and other features that rely on post-processing if the
document being printed isn't compliant.
I am using BSD lpr
(Slackware, Debian, older
distributions) and some options chosen
in LLPR don't seem to
take effect.
Legacy BSD lpr systems have a hard limitation on
the length of the option string that can be passed to
the printing system. As such, if you selected a
number of different options, you may have exceeded
the length of the options and some of your choices
won't be passed to the programs
responsible for implementing them. Try to select
fewer options that deviate from the defaults, to save
on memory usage.

Some pages come
out all white (nothing is printed), and
I am using CUPS.
If the data being sent is in Encapsulated PostScript
(EPS) format, some earlier versions of CUPS
(1.1.10 and before) have a bug preventing them from
being processed correctly. When going through
LLPR to print, the Printer Package will work around
this issue by converting the data to regular PostScript.
However, if your application bypasses LLPR and
feeds EPS data to CUPS, the document may not
print correctly.
I can't print to an SMB (Windows) printer.
To be able to configure and use SMB-shared printers
(such as printers shared on a Windows printer), you
need to have a correct installation of the SAMBA
package that enables that feature. The "smbclient"
command should be available and usable on your
system.
