Printing Issues Remain

[KJBurton]

I've read numerous posts regarding the printing of graphics. Very few of my documents have no graphics so the issues are important to me.

I use Fedora 41 and have an Epson WF-7840 Printer with Epson's own cups driver Installed.I also have the same printer setup with a default linux cups driver.

Printing to Postscript output is not for me. Prints Portrait but not Landscape. More often that not Textmaker locks up forcing me to restart it.

Printing to pdf output allows both Portrait and Landscape but drops graphics from the document.... not always all of them but some of them.If i wish to print a particular couple of pages from within a document, this also fails causing printing to stop.

If i print the document to file in pdf output then all the graphics are in place. If I export to pdf all graphics in place. Si if the printing output is pdf then why the hell doesnt it work?

Seems the same issue has been going on unsolved for years. Yes the workaround is to export as pdf and then print the pdf.But why if output is pdf, where is this breaking down between pdf and printer. iIs the pdf output when sent direct to the printer not print ready?

All very frustrating.
