Hi

> I am trying to print to an EpsonStylus Color 5000.
> from MacOSX 10.4.9 and from Ubuntu Linux.
> Both boxes has CUPS 10.2.x installed and I try printing "locally".
>
> My questions.
>
> 1.) Landscape function produces 2 pages instead of 1 page.
> The page is not centered correctly.

>From my experiences with a plotter (designjet 500) I can only confirm there are unresolved issues with landscape printing. I'm on Suse 10.2 10.3, cups 1.2. Would be *very* willing to help debugging this!
