Printing problem: "fit to page" option does not work, even from cmd

hello!
i am switching a company over to linux, that's why i am trying to make it shine as much as possible!
unfortunately i have to explain why something as simple as printing an email to one page instead of 1 and half isn't working...
no matter what i always get the same layout ... through
a) print menues which give me the option to scale to page e.g. firefox's print menue or
b) command line with the option found in (http://localhost:631/help/options.html#FIT_TO_PAGE)
lp -o fit-to-page filename
lpr -o fit-to-page filename
they both do not result in a scaled to one page output, instead i get the same result a print without any extra configuration gives me (2 pages).
i don't know where to report this problem!?
since i don't know whether it is an arch, Canon, CUPS or postscript problem ...
my setup is:
manjaro/arch linux (latest packages)
CUPS 1.7.1
canon imagerunner irc2880 - printer language = postscript
gnome 3.10
(i use the canon "cque" aur package to get the only working ppd for this printer (cel-irc2880-ps-de.ppd) [working = print both b/w & color] ... ps stands for postscript.
pls help or direct me to the right channels
THANK YOU

i have checked with another printer ... same problem
can anyone with firefox tell me whether the checked checkbox
"ignore scaling and fit to page" or something (mine is german) under:
firefox -> print... -> options
works for you?

  • Layout Options - Page Order Does Not Work Correctly

    I have a Photosmart C7280 All-in-One printer.  The Layout Option - Page Order does not work as expected.  The User Guide (page 95) states that the default for a multiple page document is to print first page first.  The manual states that to print last page first requires one to change the Page Order to "Back to Front".  For my Excel, Word, Internet Explorer and PDF pages, I need to leave the Page Order as "Front to Back" if I want the last page to print first.  This makes no sense.  In addition, I can't get my Quicken reports to print last page first no matter what I try.  Does anyone no why the Page Order does not work as expected for Excel, Word, IE and PDF, and does not work at all for Quicken?

    Keisha,
    If you uncheck the "show" option, then the corresponding HTML for that item is not rendered on the page. Thus, when you try to inspect that item via APEX_APPLICATION.G_F02, it simply doesn't exist.
    One trick that I use when I want to have hidden items on the page, but not make them take up any space, is to concatenate them to items that will be visible.
    Using your query as an example, I would re-write it like this:
    SELECT APEX_ITEM.CHECKBOX(1,ROWNUM,'CHECKED')ATTENDED,
    APEX_ITEM.HIDDEN(2,C.PARTY_ID)
      || APEX_ITEM.HIDDEN(3,C.PARTY_TYPE_CODE)
      || C.PARTY_TYPE_CODE PARTY_TYPE_CODE,
    S.PERSON_ID,
    S.PERSON_FIRST_NAME AS NAME,
    C.PARTY_CASE_ID
    FROM CASE.PARTY C
    INNER JOIN DN.PERSON S
    ON C.PARTY_ID = S.PERSON_ID
    WHERE C.PARTY_CASE_ID = :P18_CDBCASE_ID
    AND C.PARTY_SEQ_NO = :P18_SEQThus, the second APEX report column will contain the HTML for the hidden items PARTY_ID & PARTY_TYPE_CODE, as well as the value for PARTY_TYPE_CODE. When you submit the page, you should not encounter any issues.
    Thanks,

    Hi @kots 
    I suspect your question would be better answered in the HP Enterprise Business Community, as your HP Printer is a commercial model.
    My technical expertise is with consumer products and software, I am sure the commercial folks would be happy to help if you re-post your question for them to answer. The HP Enterprise Business Community is an HP Forum designed for the Commercial and Enterprise customers to help one another. I am sure you will find some HP folks there to help too.
    Click here to view the Printing and Digital Imaging. When the page opens you will see the option to 'Log in' or 'Register Now' on the right. The commercial forums are separate from the consumer boards, thus you will need to register if you don't already have a commercial account.
    You may find the HP LaserJet M2727 Multifunction Printer series page helpful while you wait for somebody in the commercial Forum to respond to your inquiry.
    Best of luck.

    <Email Edited by Host>

    As these are public forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support,  I've asked the hosts to remove your email address from your post - it's not a good idea to post it unless you like spam email.
    The reset link will only show if you have a rescue email address on your account - a rescue email address is not the same as an alternate/secondary email address, they are different addresses/settings on an account.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • Format option does not work in reply mode re Bt Ya...

    Hi There - I wonder if anyone has had this problem?  When clicking on reply to a recipient's email I find that the format option does not work! (I use this to highlight my reply in a different text colour)  It works fine when I compose a new email msg but not when using reply.
    I am finding this switch over to this 'new improved' Yahoo email a nightmare to be honest.  I would never have tried it out had I known I would not be able to switch back. 
    Why didn't I heed that age old saying 'why fix it if it ain't broke'
    I would appreciate any help.
    Many Thanks
    Heddybell

    Hi Stephanie
    Thanks for replying to me.
    No - none of those.  Formatting just does not work!  It was as if I had not tried to format - it just did NOTHING.
    However, by some miracle (and believe me it was) I have been able to return to my old BT Yahoo Classic  and the problem is no more!
    Wow!  That 'All-new Bt Yahoo Mail' leaves a lot to be desired!  Thank goodness I got out of it even there was no 'Switch Back' available.  Like I said "It was a miracle'!!!!!
    Thanks again

  • Crystal Report for VS2010 - The Go To Page function does not work

    When running a report into Crystal(VS2010), the Go To Page function does not work.  Typing in a page number and pressing Enter does not take you to that page.  The report remains on the current page. I'm not sure if there is suppose to be a button like the one in Crystal 8.5(VS2008).

    As long as you are using the CR assemblies for VS .NET, the viewer (Win) should look like this:
    Remember, the ActiveX viewer based on the Report Designer Component (RDC, referencing craxdrt.dll) is not supported in VS 2010.

  • I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

    I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

    You mean an image such as a scanned document?
    If that is the case, the file doesn't contain any text for Reader Out Loud to read. In order to fix that, you would need an application such as Adobe Acrobat that does Optical Character Recognition to convert the images to actual text.
    You can also try to export the file as a Word document or something else using ExportPDF which I believe offers OCR and is cheaper than Acrobat.

  • Using Acrobat Pro X on windows 7.  The replace pages feature does not work.  Is this a known issue? Is there a fix?

    Using Acrobat Pro X on windows 7.  The replace pages feature does not work.  Is this a known issue? Is there a fix?

    Hi Todd,
    I haven't heard other reports of this (though there was an issue quite some time ago where deleting pages on this combination of Acrobat/OS was challenging).
    Can you please tell me what happens when you try to replace pages? Do you get an error message? Are you able to manipulate pages otherwise (delete, extract, and so on)? Is this issue unique to one file, or does it happen with all PDF files?
    I look forward to hearing back from you.
    Best,

  • I have the macBookPro and the problem is the mouse pad does not work I tried everything but still does not work what should i do ?

    I have the macBookPro and the problem is the mouse pad does not work I tried everything but still does not work what should i do ?
    so i'm using the usb mouse

    I want to clarify the issue.
    The issue is with the MBP trackpad, and it works fine with an attached USB mouse.
    With some ingenuity, you might be able to fix this yourself, but I suggest visiting your local Apple Store/Genius Bar. Some have fixed this issue and have posted their results online, but the Apple Store should be your first destination.
    Post here with your results!!

  • DB Adaptor import table option does not work with the AS400 DB

    1. The DB Adaptor import table option does not work with the IBM i-series(AS/400) tables(Both in ESB and BPEL).
    2. Also I was not able to import tables from multiple databases into
    the same BPEL project.

    Both of these issues work in preview version. My earlier posting was based on beta version testing.

  • Error Parser does not work, even in SSX3

    SunSudio Express (December 2006 release) introduces some interesting new features, but there are still problems. For the first time, I was able to debug Fortran 90 applications in Linux, but debugging is still very limited. Furthermore, the Fortran error parser does not work, even when compiling using Sun's f95 compiler. This is a heavy disadvantage. I assume that Fortran error parsing is not supported on Linux, although the tutorials don't make this point clear: In the Options window, there are settings concerning C/C++ (and its parser), but there are no similar options for the Fortran parser, even in "Advanced Setings" (which are similar to the old Options window). My Linux system is Debian 3.1 (Sarge), with JDK 1.5.0.09.
    I don't think that I'm doing something wrong, but I want to ask, just to be sure: has someone had seen the Fortran error parser working on Linux? What about Fortran word completion?
