Rastertogutenprint reads the driver settings from the printer profile for printing with the right setting.<br> <br> Best regards<br> Jan-Peter<br> <br> Am 24.05.11 00:09, schrieb edmund ronald: <blockquote cite="mid:BANLkTi=w8w5LHsaJjAf3UOxWoTp2F=zCPQ@mail.gmail.com" type="cite">Graeme, as ever you are right in principle; however maybe you could describe a bit more how you would envision client and server to correspond, with an emphasis on the fact that they may have been set up with different software versions ... <div> <br> </div> <div>Edmund<br> <br> <div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, May 24, 2011 at 12:05 AM, Graeme Gill <span dir="ltr"><<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="mailto:graeme@argyllcms.com">graeme@argyllcms.com</a>></span> wrote:<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"> <div> <div class="h5">edmund ronald wrote:<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"> I see no reason why we should assume the print server knows about either<br> profiles or settings.
