Это баг связанный с Java и CUPS
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... bug/156191
здесь предлагают downgrade CUPS до 1.2.8
Цитата:
In Synaptic I added the Feisty main repository, reloaded, searched for cupsys selected it then selected Package > Force Version and downgraded to the 1.2.8 version. Then Selected Package > Lock version to stop it upgrading and breaking again.
В принципе это решение должно подходить и для Fedora 8.
Цитата:
downgrade also works in Fedora 8, except AFAIK the downgrade must be accomplished by hand with rpm. I'm also not aware of how to keep F8 from trying to "upgrade" cups, except clearing the checkbox whenever it asks me to do so.
Также предлагают изменить ориентацию с автоматической в настройках принтера, правда пишут не всегда помогает.
Цитата:
The problem is Java & Cups is not understand together. You can have it work by specifying the Orientation in every printers in Cups
System -> Printing
For each printer select Job Options tab and specify Orientation to whatever else instead of "Automatic Rotation".
