Hi

I am try to configure a laser printer (Canon LBP-8MarkIIIR) to work under
Redhat 5.1.  I used Print Tool under XWindows to add the printer.  It seems
to print plain text and graphics okay from my Windows 95 computers, however
when I print from Linux the text comes out in landscape orientation instead
of portrait.  How do I change the orientation in Linux?

Also when I try to print a postscript document the printer beeps a number of
times and garbage gets printed out.  The printer is not a postscript printer
but I thought that Linux could change postscript to normal printer language
so that it could be printed on a non postscript printer.  How can I set it
up?

Regards
Austin
