HOWTO:Get Opera to work with CUPS

Hi

If u wanna print with Opera and wonder why u cant print there is a solution i found.

Open terminal and write

cd /usr/lib sudo ln -s libcups.so.2 libcups.so

Thats it!After Opera Restart u should be able to print to all your installed printers.

Great tip, works for me!

Hi!

This is my first post and new in linux.

I've been installed Xubuntu feisty, and i've been looking for a virtual printer, i made the installation of cups-pdf, but not works with opera, with Firefox and others programs works fine.

I try your solution with cups, but not works either.

Makes a file with the name _stdin_.pdf with 0 bytes in /home/username/PDF, and that's all.

Somebody could make work cups-pdf with opera?

I'm desperated, because i only use Opera...

Sorry my poor english, but this is a very good way to practice it.

I'm experiencing this too, the only working solution at the moment is adding manual printer on Opera,

File-->Print, on tab "Printer Program", fill "Printer Program" with "lpr" and "Printer Parameter" with "-PVirtual_Printer" where "Virtual_Printer" is assumed to be your cups-pdf pseudo printer name.

I think we should fill a bug report to opera about this.

There are still problems with Opera 9.5 beta and cups-pdf.Whre to report opera spefic bugs?
