29 <title>Printer Problems</title>
31 There are many reasons why your printer might not be working. For example, it
32 could be out of paper or ink, or unplugged or damaged.
35 <p>To check if your printer is printing correctly:</p>
37 <item><p>Choose <guiseq><gui>System</gui><gui>Administration</gui><gui>Printing</gui></guiseq></p></item>
38 <item><p>Double click on your printer in the list.</p></item>
39 <item><p>Select <gui>Settings</gui> in the left menu. Click on <gui>Print Test Page</gui>. A page should be sent to your printer.</p>
42 If this fails, see your printer's manual
43 to see what else you can do.
54 <title>PDF Printing Restrictions</title>
56 Some PDF documents have a setting which prevents you from printing them.
57 Authors can set this printing restriction when they write a document.
58 Evince overrides this restriction by default, but you may want to check
59 that it hasn't been disabled:
65 Press <keyseq><key>Alt</key><key>F2</key></keyseq> to open the Run
71 Type <input>gconf-editor</input> into the text box and click
72 <gui>Run</gui>. The Configuration Editor will open.
75 <item><p>Browse to <sys>/apps/evince</sys> using the side pane.</p></item>
78 Make sure that the <gui>override_restrictions</gui> option is checked.
83 Go back to the Document Viewer and try to print the document again.
