Landscape printing problem (expanded letters)

Hi everyone!

I have an old Epson r200 printer, it works all good, but I found a strange problem I can`t solve.
If I am printing in landscape mode from PDF (without rasterise option), plain text, any office application or even Opera browser, I am getting the text like this:

Do you believe that it`s the standard “who” output:
suser :0 2011-10-06 16:35 (console)
suser pts/0 2011-10-06 16:35
suser pts/1 2011-10-06 16:35

And it doesn`t matter what font I am using.
I am running OpenSuse 11.3 with CUPS 1.4.6

Any ideas about solving it?

What chain of commands you used to print that?

I was just printing from OO Writer, for example. This last print was a result of “who | lpr -olandscape” chain.

I tried the same in my computer and it works fine. You can try, perhaps, to
print to file from OO, and then feed that ps file to cups. If the file is
in landscape and correct (in the screen), the problem is in cups. If the ps
file is incorrect, the problem is earlier.

Thank`s for the idea for testing… ps file is correct, but after I feed it to lpr it prints all that stuff messed… What should I do with CUPS?

Report as a bug in bugzilla.

However, Novell (IMHO) is seriously understaffed, and bugs take ages to be
read and tended to. If they are at all.

You can, also, install another opensuse version. It is good to have a spare
partition where you can test the next version.
