Printing with linux at the EUI: problems


Printing in the terminal room in Villa Schifanoia

For some reason I had always experienced problems (that means: it was impossible...) to print documents in the terminal room of Villa Schifanoia. To be honest: I do not have any solution and I do not have enough time for fighting against windows print servers...

"What happens? It does not work..."

Well this is of course not very informative and not very helpful for knowing what is going on. In any case: for some reason I know that the program Evince does not want to print with the described configuration. Maybe there are different solutions. A less elegant one, but one which works is following: install kpdf and all will be alright. In the console:

sudo apt-get install kpdf
Options by printing

I have some problems printing with kpdf because I can not print for instance two-sided. I am still investigating... (it must be a question of the driver used, which is really a little problematic, because the proposed solution does not use any driver...).
