Comment 48 for bug 156191

i'm using Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron), and the only work around that works for me is the one described by aurorius. basically, i couldn't find the "Job Options" tab. either i'm stupid, or else it is changed in my version of CUPS (which is 1.3.7-1ubuntu3).

you can read my long description of the bug and fix here:

but all of this information is included above, or in references cited by the above listings. but i'll summarize the fix cited above:

i'm using Ubuntu 8.04 (really Kubuntu 8.04) Hardy Heron. what i did was edit /etc/cups/printers.conf and add the line

Option orientation-requested 3

just above </Printer> everywhere it appears in the file. for example:

ErrorPolicy retry-job
+ Option orientation-requested 3
</Printer>

you must be root to edit the file. to do this with sudo and vi:

% sudo vi /etc/cups/printers.conf

you should probably save a backup copy of the file before you edit it.

after you edit the file you must restarts the Cups daemon. try:

% sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart
