My printer works fine, but I have no printer Properties.

Post by relik1989 »

I have my printer installed and working just fine in Ubuntu 13.04 64bit. The printer is an Epson Workforce 520. I can print from any wine application just fine, but when I click on Print Properties the only option available is to change the paper size. I really need to be able to change the print quality, that's the only option I'm concerned with. Most, but not all, of what I print needs to be printed on draft quality or I'm going to go through ink like crazy.

This question was also asked once before by another user but there didn't seem to be any replies.

I don't think Wine's print dialog supports being able to change anything but paper size or orientation. You should be able to change print quality through CUPS.

So I should just change it in my systems printer settings? there's no way to change it within an app running in wine?

AFAICT, that's right.
