|
|
I followed the new gentoo printing guide and succesfully installed cups and a driver for my printer (HP LaserJet 4P). When I try to install the printer running ./spadmin in ~/OpenOffice.org1.0/program/ it all seems to work out fine. But when I close spadmin and enter it again it has lost the settings. Why's that? I tried both as root and "myself". |

Moved from Hardware to Desktop Environments. Appears to be an OpenOffice issue. _________________ Quis separabit? Quo animo? |

Yes, I have had some weird problems between Cups and OpenOffice also.
1) First install, setup for User after installing, couldn't get printer to work for user.
2) Reinstalled and did same thing, but this time setup printer first and then worked for user.
3) Then one day after it wouldn't print an envelope right, would only print the addressee but not the
return address. Tried numerous times, tried test pages,.... Got tired of tried and just took OpenOffice
off the compter.
Then several days later (after shuting the system down several times, I usually don't leave it on all the
time.) All of a sudden, with out warning, the printer just started printing pages out. It was all the pages
and envelopes I had tried to do several days earlier. And they were all correct and complete.
I had already checked the spool and they weren't in there. Now all of a sudden they appeared and printed
out. Don't know???
Printer works fine for everything else. Going to try KOffice for awhile instead. Don't really like the way
most programs have a good setup for the printer and OpenOffice kinda sucks for the printer setup. |

i have had no problems with printing from openoffice in general - but:
i can't change the orientation of a printout. that is, when i have a wide spreadsheet and want to print it landscape, it still prints portrait ... anyone with a solution to this?
ah, printing with cups on a laserjet4
any other programs print fine, except acrobat reader (printer says it processes the job, but then stops - no error) maybe someone also knows an answer to that issue, too.
regards,

hmm, try running spadmin in the openoffice dir as root to set up the printer.
i'm using the openoffice-bin ebuild, btw. _________________ [resident anime junkie] -- not just a linux freak. |
