[Bug 26122] Re: can't change print quality

[Jens Berke]

I have this bug on a freshly installed Dapper Release Candidate 1. On my
system I don't have a ~/.loptions file at all. Whatever setting I change
with gnome-cups-manager, it seems to be stored somewhere, because it
shows up next time I start  gnome-cups-manager. However, checking with
CUPS through http://localhost:631 still shows the initial printer
settings from the time the printer was created. The latter ones seem to
be used by all GNOME apps. Printing different qualites with OpenOffice
works fine, however.

Dapper is a great so far, but not being able to change the print quality
(and therefore wasting lot of expensive ink) is a big drawback, I think.
It will make some people rant about Linux and prevent some from dropping
Windows (I just killed my Windows partition trusting Dapper's quality,
regretting it now a little bit). I'd vote for having it fixed with
Dapper release. Alas I don't have the knowledge to help fixing it.

Regards,
Jens
