@starhawk: See the discussion here concerning Libreoffice, landscape printing and Saluki.

That didn't fix it for me... sadly...

EDIT: oh, sorry, blasted thing reset itself. (I hate it when computers think they're smarter than people.) I'll try again.

EDIT2: works now. Also eVince is printing as well. Not sure what went wrong the first go-round...

Hmm, excellent.

So is there any need to still upgrade CUPS? rcrsn51? You're the professional here.

It would be nice if I didn't have to go through all this again, if/when I have to reinstall for some reason... but at this point we're talking convenience more than features so IMO it's up to you.

re CUPS in Carolina / Saluki derivative / Wary derivative..

I had not trouble upgrading CUPS to 1.4.8 from Wary which I got from BarryK here:

This actually didn't seem to change much for me, but my issues from the other thread with landscape printing from Libreoffice is fixed.

Others can try this "upgrade" and see what happens for them

So can you use that GetFlash in Vanguard

Not using Slacko64 at present. You're asking me to pluck something from somewhere and insert it somewhere else? Recall I'm not much of a 'plucker'! Can think of others who better meet the requirements. Hope that helps...

Just to clarify - was the landscape problem fixed by the CUPS upgrade or by using the Libreoffice Postscript setting?

The LibreOffice Postscript setting

So I'm guessing that you would still have trouble printing in landscape from other apps like Firefox.

To upgrade a Linux printing system, there would need to be other changes besides updating CUPS.

I'll see if I can figure out how to make the solution more automated. It's not just you, there's bound to be someone else who encounters the same problem.

Thanks p310don, I'll give that a go.

Ah, ok, I'll keep that in mind. Maybe I can find a pet of Slacko64 Getflash for you to test. Anyone know where I might find a link to that without having to download the whole ISO?

I'm scared to ask, but what would that involve?

Flash player is kept updated in the PPM, there are older versions too in http://smokey01.com/carolina/old_packages/ , I haven't had any problems with flash and Firefox at this point.

There is the flash_player_BBC-10.3.183.18 that sage finds works for him with iPlayer, so I don't see why flashget is needed.

Ah right.. this is me dealing with things I have no idea about.

Ok so Sage, can you test flash_player_BBC-10.3.183.18 found in the repo?

Thanks for the link anyway peebee.

can you test flash_player_BBC-10.3.183.18 found in the repo?

Did that! Think I reported it. Expected it to run as per Terryphi in all 32bit offerings. Wondering whether there's something else amiss in V-lina and, maybe FD? I am only able to test and report - making SW work is well beyond my pay grade...

It would involve abandoning jemimah's printer-scanner-drivers.sfs and putting the upgraded components back into the core system.

Of course. Sage, thanks for reporting. I'll post back if I think of anything that might be causing the bug.

Ah, I see. Sounds like much work. I will keep it in mind though. Thanks rcrsn51.
