The FEATURES of the File /etc/apsfilterrc Do Not Work
Support knowledgebase (mmichna_apsfilterrc_71_YaST2de)
Applies to
SuSE Linux: Versions 7.0 to 7.3
Symptom:
You want to use the "FEATURES" of the file /etc/apsfilter (header/two pages per sheet/landscape format).
However, after modifying this file, the printing system remains unchanged.
Cause:
The printer has been set up with YaST2, and YaST2 generates its own apsfilterrc file
in order to simplify the operation of several printers with different settings.
Solution:
Edit the following file (with an editor of your choice)
/etc/apsfilterrc.y2prn_<queue>.upp
and modify the lines according to your needs.
e.g.:
FEATURE="1n"
The following settings are valid
FEATURE=1 prints 1 page per sheet with header
FEATURE=2 prints 2 pages per sheet with header
FEATURE=1n prints 1 page per sheet without header
FEATURE=2n prints 2 pages per sheet without header
FEATURE=1l prints 1 page in landscape format with header
FEATURE=1ln prints 1 page in landscape format without header
