I think, I have fixed the issue by means of the following commands: % sudo lpadmin -p <my_printer> -o HPPJLEconoMode-default=false % sudo lpadmin -p <my_printer> -o HPPJLEconoMode=false I only found these options by opening the HPLIP toolbox, selecting "View Printer and Device Information"...

I had a look at the flatpak version, but am hesitant to add a ~1.3GB installation to my system. Furthermore, I found out in the meantime, that postscript files that I print per % lp <postscript file> suffer from the same problem. The printout looks as, if it was printed in Econo mode. However, when ...

Maybe your system is suffering from the same issue that mine does, that was reported earlier (see https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=328509 ) and that I just found a workaround for? This is my system: New desktop computer (mainboard, CPU, DIMM, SSD, DVD writer, mini tower, power supply) Ol...

I might give v23.08.4 a chance. How did you install v23.08.4?

• Is it part of a Mint release?
• Is it a flatpak installation?
• Did you compile it yourself?
• Or any other way of installation?

I made some progress. The problem is not caused by the Econo mode, but by the per default lacking rasterization and "Fit to printable area" scale mode. Okular 2024-02-26_22-22.png When I tick "Force rasterization", I get a high quality printout. Unfortunately, I fail to see a way...

Thanks for your reply Mike,

I am running Okular 21.12.3. The Econo mode is turned off. I think your printer's "Save Toner" option corresponds to my printer's "Econo Mode". Regards

Dear All, I am running OS: Linux Mint Mate 21.3 Printer: HP Color Laser Jet Pro M252dw Print system: CUPS 2.4.1 on a new computer set up from scratch. It seems to me that Okular is only printing in Econo Mode regardless of the settings used. This is what I did to print a page: Open a pdf document Op...

I have written a shell script that logged the process table every 0.5s. This is the result of my attempt to remove the mintUpdate installed kernel 5.4.0-159 with Synaptic until the error was reported or the removal was executed (I have skipped 42 processes that were started after the execution was s...

In the past 5 weeks I ran a number of tests whenever a new kernel update was provided. This is what I have found out: In Synaptic both actions "Mark for Removal" and "Mark for Complete Removal" have the same effect as the aforementioned problem is concerned. So, the complete remo...

@MIZoG Thanks for your thoughts. That's what I thought as well, however the problem occurred after Installation of a kernel update per Update Manager Reboot Start-up of Synaptic to deinstall the old kernel Between the restart and the start of Synaptic, I did not (deliberately) use any other apt-mana...

Thanks for the hint about the Softmaker repository. I have updated it to refer to "stable" rather than "wheezy". Active apt repos in: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/additional-repositories.list 1: deb http://shop.softmaker.com/repo/apt stable non-free Still I would be surprised, if this...

@Jo-con-Ël I did not change the hardware of my system when I upgraded from LM 19.3 to LM 20.3. I also do not see, how the hardware should affect the operation of Synaptic Package Manager. So here are the requested "inxi -Fxxxzr" results w/o the hardware sections. System: Kernel: 5.4.0-156-...

@Infused Mint The problem you are reporting sounds familiar to me. Whenever I encountered this problem, it was not a problem of the printer but a problem of the given pdf file, which did not embed all the fonts it did use. You have to be aware that a printer does not have all the fonts installed as ...

Dear All, in the course of my recent upgrade from LM Mate 19.3 to LM Mate 20 I ran into a problem that I had already encountered, when I upgraded from LM Mate 18.3 to LM Mate 19. The user account that I used in both cases has a conservative umask setting of % umask 027 I have followed the recommende...

Dear All, after upgrading and updating from Mate 19.3 to Mate 20.3 one week ago, I noticed that the update manager (5.8.4) in the system tray can only be opened once by clicking on the corresponding icon per login session. I am aware that this issue has already been dicussed and has unfortunately be...

Dear All I just upgraded my computer from Linux Mint Mate 19.3 to Linux Mint Mate 20.3. After the upgrade and my configurations were completed, I decided to create a backup. I created the first backup with timeshift, which completed without any problems. Afterwards, I wanted to create an old fashion...

@SaberClassMor I (still) run Linux Mint Mate 19.3 rather than Cinnamon 20.3, but I think what you need to do is: Start Synaptics Package Manager Search for "firefox" and and mark all installed packages of firefox for "complete removal" Search for "chromium" and mark all...

Epson V600 with VueScan-worked under LM 19 I am sorry, this thread is dedicated to the Epson Perfection 3170 Photo. Maybe, I should have added this to its title. This thread does not deal with other Epson scanners. However, there seem to be other threads addressing V600 topics in this forum. Please...
