extended ppd for Dymo labelprinters
the original file is extended by this 2 formats
*PageSize w101h54/Etikett - 101 x 54 mm":
*PageSize w190h59/Ordner - 190 x 59 mm":
What exactly do you mean with "KDE printer definition dialog"? What exactly do you mean with "profile section"? Ferdinand, please clarify. Some time has past, so I tried to reproduce.... and add some snapshots. It have restarted the server, so the situation i describe now might be a bit different. Created attachment 21236 [details]

kword page layout does NOT offer the defined media size
Created attachment 21241 [details]
printout of the testpage
the hight of the testpage is 21cm (instead of the defined 19cm).
I do not know where the testpage is coming from but IMHO it should be created
dynamically on the fly using the ppd parameters to fit on the paper.
the test page should give a positive feedback and not scrambled letters....
(could be a cups problem though)
Hope that helps
I looked at the PPD file and there are things I don't understand in the added page sizes. AFAIK, these should be defined using 72dpi; if I take the size 101x54 mm, this gives a size of 283x153, but you use 1191x638. Am I missing something? Thanks Michael! I stopped playing around to define a correct PPD files as it didn't seem useful to have a ppd definition, which I can not select in kword etc. The main questions are: * does KDE (printing) make use of page format definitions in the ppd files? * does koffice make use of ppd definitions to format the page size. 1) yes 2) no (but I'm not completely sure, you should ask koffice developers) moving this to koffice due to Michaels answer http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145499#c13 (2) Erm... Are we ever going to query cups to determine which paper sizes the user can print to? I somehow doubt it. This been moved to koffice but mails still getting to kde-print-devel@kde.org ? Thank you for your bug report or feature suggestion. The "KOffice" application suite is no longer maintained, and all tickets are now closed. We recommend to switch to the "Calligra" application suite, which has replacements for all unmaintained KOffice applications: - KWord was replaced with Calligra Words - KPlato was replaced with Calligra Plan For more information, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calligra_Suite (This is an automatic message from the KDE bug triaging team) |
