priniting with xpdf

A question regard printing out of xpdf:
Xpdf has a print button which offers the option to print with a command or to print into a file. Now, for printing by a command i use:
'lpr - P <the printer name as shown in cups>'
which works. But i've no idea how i can manipulate the quality of the output. Any pointers?
TIA

There is nothing which considers the
quality of the print output (like 360dpi or 720dpi or even higher resolution etc.). Some default settings i configured in ~/.Xresources:
Code: Select all
xpdf*psPaperSize: A4
xpdf*t1libControl: high
xpdf*freetypeControl: high
But for the rest?

Look in the "Specifying Printer Options" section. Quality options are different for each printer and you have to use the
command to discover them.

Thanks!!
I presume the options marked by a "*" are the default ones.
Can i change them via .Xresources? Or has that to be done with the
http://localhost:631/printers/ web interface of cups?
TIA!

I'm not sure if there's a way to set them in .Xresources. You can certainly do in with the cups web interface. Or you could use the options you want in xpdf as the default parameters of lpr...

This is the
print queue and its properties depend upon the CUPS
printer driver you have set-up. The selected driver, of course, depends on the printer model you have, so please provide some details about your printer!
On a related note, I wonder why you need to use xpdf; I find Atril much more advanced, incl. its printing interface.

May be for nostalgia ...
