4. Cautions, Limitations, and Restrictions -------------------------------------

- When specifying multiple pages/copies for [Pages per sheet] in the [General]
  sheet to print a document created with StarSuite7/OpenOffice, due to a cause
  of operation by the CUPS module, settings are not correctly assigned to the
  multiple pages and output.

- PostScript files created with the number of copies specified in OpenOffice.org
  or StarSuite are affected not by the value specified by [Number of copies] in
  the [cngplp] dialog box (the driver UI), but by the number of copies set when
  creating the PostScript file.

- If settings are changed from the driver UI, during print processing, the
  printed result will reflect the changed settings.

- If [Brightness and Gamma] is specified in the [General] sheet from an
  application such as OpenOffice.org, GIMP, or Acrobat Reader v.5.0, the settings
  will be invalid.

- If you set [Filter] to [HP-GL/2 options] in the [Filter] sheet of the printer
  driver UI, due to a cause of operation by the CUPS module, the [Pen width
  (0 10.0mm)] setting is invalid.

- You cannot print a PDF document by directly specifying it from the desktop or
  command line. When printing a PDF document, it is recommended that you print
  it from Acrobat Reader.

- The maximum number of files that can be held in the print queue when printing
  is 500 according to CUPS specifications. Files queued after the 500th file will
  be ignored.

- If you are using SUSE LINUX Professional 9.3, the driver UI may display 
  unintelligible characters. You can solve this problem using the following 
  method.
  1) Log in as 'root'.
  2) Execute the following command to change the GTK+ environment settings.
     # cd /etc/
     # ln -s opt/gnome/gtk ./

- If you are using SUSE LINUX Professional 9.3, a warning may occur when you
  activate the driver UI. You can solve this problem using the following 
  method.
  1) Open [K Menu] -> [Control Center].
  2) Select [Appearance & Themes].
  3) Select [Colors].
  4) Deselect [Apply colors to non-KDE applications].
  5) Close [Control Center].

- When printing from OpenOffice.org, some finishing functions such as [Rotate]
  may not operate correctly if you specify multiple copies for [Number of 
  copies:] in the driver UI.
