Hi Helge,
I am fairly new to Setting up CUPS. What is a CTM? Do you know of a rountine that can currently do that?
I am trying to insert heading & footing. Currently, I use a perl script that uses hard coded value to moveto to show the text. I would like to avoid the hardcode value, and a way to determine the orientation.
When printing via firefox, there %%orientation tag is not present.
Thanks,
Kaede
