From: Owain on 1 Jun 2010 10:30 Ubuntu 9.04 and a Konica 2430 DL on USB I can get a Ubuntu test page from the printer management screen (GPL Postscript version 3010 revision 864) and I can print from Firefox. I cannot print PDFs from either Acrobat or Evince. The print jobs show up as completed in the print jobs list. Owain

Worth a try. -- rich

Worth a try. I don't have a var/spool/pdf-cups and I'm not allowed in var/spool/ cups I can print to PDF okay, just not print the PDFs to the printer. Owain
