Hi,

I just installed cups 1.1.8... So does resizing the browserwindow affect the 
size of the print? My special case was a page with exercises for an OO 
softwareenginering class. It's plain HTML with some UML diagrams in it. The 
images don't span the whole width of the printed page though. I think I 
remember a time when Konqueror printed pages like that in a way that the 
images spanned over the full width of the page and the fonts got adjusted 
accordingly. Hmm, I'll try around a bit.

Thanks for your answer,

Richard

Unix IS user friendly, it is just selective about who his friends are.
